My Thai wife runs a small service assisting expats getting settled in Chiang Mai. She wants to extend this service to offering visa applications for expats. We visited thaievisa.go.th to Create an Account. It would appear we can only create an account as an Individual (see screen shot below). I had thought there would be an option to create an account as a Visa Agent. Can anyone advise on how to do this? Or is there something obvious here that I am missing? Thanks in advance.

I've helped people obtain visas in the past particularly in the covid era which was much more difficult and the individual just provided their login details obviously requires a degree of trust but most of the people I helped we're friends of friends and we're just happy for someone to help

Embassies do not support applications from agents. Each person is expected to submit their own application.

You would have to create accounts for each applicant or use their existing account.

thanks Brandon. So what you are saying is, my wife just go into Thai E-Visa and create a new account for each applicant by just clicking on Individual? As long as the applicant is overseas, it doesn't matter that my wife does the application from here in Chiang Mai. Also, I had it in my mind for some reason that if you were an agent, you would apply online for an applicant by going into E-Via under an agency account of some description, but what you are saying is that this is not true, correct?

there's no such thing as an agency account. Everyone applies for their own visa and everyone must be in the jurisdiction of the consulate that is selected, not just overseas. Think of your wife as a secretary filling out a form on behalf of her boss, all the information provided must be that of, and relevant to, her the boss.

so if my wife was applying for a retirement visa for John Smith in California, one problem is the application has to be done from outside of Thailand. To get around this, while my wife does the application for John, does she simply set her VPN to California when filling out the online E-Visa forms? Otherwise, the authorities might see that the application is being done from Chiang Mai, which might cause a problem, I don't know.

the application does not have to be done from outside of Thailand. The applicant needs to physically be within the jurisdiction of the embassy that the application is being submitted through. The e-visa system does not track your location. It gives a generic warning to everyone so they know you cannot be in Thailand and apply for a visa.

they're simply filing the application on behalf of someone who is physically present in the jurisdiction of the consulate the application is processed by, they're not filing the application for themselves.

. This is really helpful. I am just wondering then how visa agents in Thailand go about applying for visas on behalf of their customers in the US. Clearly the visa agent is filling in the E-Visa application while sitting in Thailand. Or am I missing something here?
