Is proof of residence a strict requirement for applying for a tourist visa to Thailand from India for Burmese passport holders?
The Thai consulate in Kolkata lists proof of residence as a requirement for applying for tourist visa. Does anyone know if this is a strict requirement and what would qualify? For Burmese passport holder.
Answer summary
The Thai consulate in Kolkata requires proof of residence for tourist visa applications. However, some commentators suggest that the strictness of this requirement may vary and that alternatives like hotel bookings or entry stamps to India could suffice. It is also noted that applications are often made through registered visa-processing companies in India.

Other nationalities have gone to India and used the consulates there to get visas for thailand (although my recollection of it is before covid) and all they showed was that they were legally in india in the area served by the consulate they were applying thru (using hotel booking, entry stamp to india etc)

Most people actually apply thru one of the two companies contracted to do thai visas for the consulates in India

If I remember correctly, you need to apply for a visa in India through one of the registered visa-processing companies. In that case, your question should be answered by them. Did you check them?

Thanks for your response, I have just heard back from the consulate who confirm what you say about applications must be through one of the processing companies. The website for the consulate listed them as available, but I did not see that it was mandatory. The visa companies do list the residency documents as mandatory.Activity
