I’m an Iranian passport holder currently in Thailand. Do you have any recommendations for neighboring countries where I can apply for the DTV visa? I haven’t found many success stories about applying here. Thank you πŸ™

TLDR : Answer Summary
An Iranian passport holder currently in Thailand is seeking advice on neighboring countries to apply for the DTV visa, as the individual has not encountered many success stories regarding applications from Thailand. Community members suggest apply in Laos or Hanoi, while another shares a success story from Jakarta. There's also advice to apply within Thailand without needing to exit, alongside a reminder of the potential restrictions faced by applicants from Iranian and similar backgrounds.

You can apply while you are in Thailand... No need to go out. PM me for more details

There is a Thai embassy in Tehran. Best try at home, since Iran is a "restricted" country like many African countries. I'm African and got mine at home. By restricted I mean we can't get it from neighboring countries like Vietnam or Laos.
