TLDR : Answer Summary

How long is "some time"? I'm assuming you've been living in Thailand on visa-exempt since before covid?

@Mark **************

So you've been living in Thailand for two years as a tourist? All you can do is try, but many embassies and consulates are taking a dim view of this, and even if you get the visa you could still be denied entry by immigration. Have you considered getting a proper visa which fits your reason for being in Thailand?

It's not the embassy you need to be concerned about, it's immigration when you arrive in the country. How long have you been living in Thailand on tourism-based entries?
