Is it possible to apply for a Thai visa from Hong Kong, and what is the process like?
For Hong Kong applicants:
Before applying, many people said Hong Kong was difficult to apply to, and even the cooking schools asked me to avoid it.
However, if you're a Hong Kong resident, don't hesitate to apply there. It will just take longer, about a month. There's no need to apply in other countries, as flights and hotels also cost money.
The visa fee for Hong Kong is 3,000 HKD.
Cooking school: 19,000 + B.
That's about 8,000 HKD for a 5-year visa.
Even with Soft Power, the application process in Hong Kong can still be slow. It took me about a month.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
