ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello and good afternoon together.

Non-B visa application:

Need please advice how is works now with applying a non B visa.

All  have changes to e visa.

All documents must provide online from this country where you apply.

Please can you advise how the process is in detail if I fly out from Thailand to apply a non B visa.

Before I have taken all documents in a copy and apply at a Thailand embassy 2 days later I got my visa and went back to Thailand.

Now I read :

All the documents must be submitted online outside Thailand and the visa has to wait 10-15 days.

So what is in between these days ?

I can go back to Thailand in between these days or I must stand in the country I apply to?

It is possible to apply online inside the county and must fly out to the appointment?

,...

How you guys doing it now?

Thanks for advice

TLDR : Answer Summary

The application process for a Non-B visa has changed, with all documents now required to be submitted online from outside Thailand. The applicant must wait for 10-15 days for visa processing and cannot return to Thailand until the visa is issued. Previously, applicants could collect their documents and submit them at the Thai embassy, but now they must apply online and remain in the country where they apply during processing.

It's the same as before, you apply and wait in the country you applied in until the visa is issued, it just takes longer

Pretend it's the same as before, you went to the embassy, handed them your application and passport. This is how the embassy sees it.

You cannot leave until your visa is issued. You may be called to the embassy for an interview, which is very common in the embassies near Thailand. They may also e-mail you any time during the process and ask you for proof you are still inside the country, as some people have been getting.
