Does applying online for a DTV visa mean I won't interact with an embassy?

ORIGINAL POSTER

So, I read that it does matter which embassy you submit your DTV visa application to in terms of time and other factors.

But if you apply online, you have no business dealing with any embassy, right? 

This is what I mean online: [members only]/

Sorry, I want to remain anonymous. I don't want my Facebook connections to know that I'm planning to escape from home. :D

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a DTV visa online through the official Thai e-visa website, applicants still interact with a specific embassy based on their location. It's essential to indicate your current location, as it determines which embassy will process your application. Many users have shared experiences indicating that some embassies may have faster processing times. Therefore, while the application process is online, the relevant embassy's involvement remains crucial.

When you apply online you must supply your location and your application is dealt with by the relevant embassy for that location. You need to prove which country you are in during the application. Apply in the country you are in and remain in that country until the process completes.

You apply online but to a specific embassy/location. In this group there are many posts that are dealing with specific embassies. Have a look and decide where you will apply. The majority apply in home country or in a country close to Thailand.

Can you apply for the DTV online or do you need to visit an embassy in the Maldives?
