ORIGINAL POSTER

Question.. Im applying for my visa and I have a question. Im from California USA, have a California ID with my fathers address on it. Im currently living in Missouri USA. I don't mind my fathers address being on documents so he can collect mail etc. but would this mean I should apply through the embassy in LA rather than Missouri? 

Thank you in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for your Thai visa, it's important to apply through the correct embassy or consulate based on your identification and current residence. Since your California ID has your father's address, you will likely need to apply through the embassy in LA. However, it's essential to verify this by checking the consulate's website for the regions they serve. Additionally, be prepared to travel to LA for any potential interviews.

If you’re using your drivers license as proof of location, you have to use the embassy in LA.

You have to look on the consulate's website to see which region the consulate is responsible for. When your ID is californian it is likely LA. Keep in mind when you get invited to an interview then you have to travel there.
