TLDR : Answer Summary
This discussion explores the advantages and disadvantages of applying for a Thai visa online compared to visiting the embassy in person. Key points include that online applications may lead to immediate rejection if there are mistakes in the submitted information, potentially resulting in a loss of fees. In contrast, walk-in applications allow for document checks before payment, which can mitigate financial loss and improve the chances of visa approval.

If you do walk in, your application will be looked over before payment reducing the loss of any monies paid. Online application any mistakes with name, DOB will automate an immediate rejection and loss of money.

If you will Walk in, the visa fee will be accepted when your document is fully covered on their requirements.

If you will online application, the visa fee will be accepted before documents check.

If you do not have document when they requested, you will lose money.

In walk-in, if they accepted visa fee, visa success rate is more than online application
