What are the experiences and challenges of obtaining a Thai visa from Nairobi, especially for dependents?

Any successful or unsuccessful stories about obtaining a visa from Nairobi? Due to the long waiting times for visa processing in countries near Thailand, we decided to fly back to Kenya, considering it’s for an East African passport holder. I’m still thinking about applying for a soft power visa or a workcation visa with a large YouTube channel (not travel-related, more educational).

Unfortunately, the embassy in Nairobi has been unresponsive despite making dozens of phone calls throughout the month and sending several emails. The only information available on their website is that the DTV visa can be issued.

Another question, if the main applicant gets approved in Nairobi, is it possible for us to return to Jakarta or Taipei for family members to apply as dependents? The embassy in Nairobi states on their website that they don’t accept documents without an East African residence permit. Has anyone tried this approach having the main applicant apply in their home country while dependents apply for their visas at embassies near Thailand? Thank you!

If you don’t have Indonesian residency, and you come from one of the African countries listed, the application for your dependents will take 4-6 weeks, meaning you have to stay in Indonesia that long.

Suggest you get any family members DTV visa in your home country where you are applying for the DTV visa for yourself.

Getting any Thai Visa for your passport nation is difficult in any SE Asian Thai Embassy or Consulate.
