- So over the last 6 months, each embassy has been moving to the online system. Cambodia switched back in October. Taiwan, which is where this YouTuber went 4 weeks ago, switched over last week. As of the new year, all Thai embassies have switched to evisa. You still have to be present in that country to apply via the embassy, but you no longer have to show up in person (several do still require you to pay in person though).Uy ***************
OPwhat site do i use. is it a cambodia DTV site or is there a 1 for all site
Uy ***************
OP@John ******
so that mean, i can apply from inside thailand now?John *******
@Uy **************
it varies by embassy. Cambodia is 10 business days. Vietnam is 5Uy ***************
OP@John ******
btw is my letter look ok?Uy ***************
OP@John ******
so the online application only can start when you are outside?Any idea how long it take,? Because i imagine you are unable to buy a return ticket back to Thailand unless it approved.

- No, not at all. The evisa system still requires you to be in the country where you are applying. The change is, if I am applying via the Taiwan consulate, I need to be in Taiwan, but instead of going to the consulate in person, I can do it online. They will ask for proof that I am in Taiwan, and maybe if selected, an in person interview.Brandon ************
@Uy **************
it doesn't matter what is in the video. All embassies are evisa as of January 1st.Uy ***************
OP@Brandon ***********
how long is the process take. and what factor do it depend on?John *******
@Naomi ******
Check out the DTV Facebook page. Might be easier to find the info you are asking forNaomi *******
@John ******
I understand it’s annoying to repeat all the time at similar questions, I did search before I asked but wasn’t sure what you were referring to hence why I asked.John *******
@Naomi ******
please search on this pageNaomi *******
@John ******
thanks John. How are the requirements easier when applying in Cambodia? 🙏🏼John *******
@Uy **************
each embassy has a different time length. It also depends on your nationality. For example, Vietnam is roughly 5 businesses days while Cambodia is 10 business days (I argue that the requirements via Cambodia are easier and therefore worth the extra time). Embassies in the USA take 3+ weeks

You can only apply online

There is no more "walk into an embassy" as all Thai embassies have converted to the e-visa system. All applications are now submitted online.
You're still required to be inside that country when you apply through the embassy there, and you'll need to prove that you are physically there, usually by uploading a photo of the entry stamp in your passport.

@Brandon ***********
any way to apply for someone currently already staying in Thailand? Or definitely have to get out of Thailand first, apply while in another country, only to return to Thailand? It seems counter intuitive, no?Brandon ************
@Cruise *****
that's like asking if you can apply at an embassy that still requires you walk up and apply in person while you're in Thailand. The rules haven't changed that you still have to be in that country to apply, just the way you apply has changed.Brandon ************
@Cruise *****
depends on the visa. Some visas can be issued by immigration inside of Thailand if you qualify to convert, but some are only available from embassies.Cruise ******
@Brandon ***********
so if the applicant is residing in Thailand and wants to stay in Thailand, he still has to get out of the country first to get that Visa in another country before he can come back in again?Activity
