Is anyone else here from NEW ZEALAND and living abroad applying for DTV? Working with an agent and trying to figure out what requirements are necessary for applying from New Zealand. TIA
Answer summary
The discussions indicate that applicants from New Zealand seeking the DTV should refer to the Thai Embassy's website for specific requirements. It's crucial to apply from within the jurisdiction of the respective embassy. Some users shared experiences of applying both in New Zealand and Australia, noting recent changes in the rules about where to apply based on residency. Concerns were raised about the costs, as it is noted that the embassy in New Zealand has higher application fees.

New Zealand is the most expensive place to apply from 😔
So we are kiwis and applied in Australia however the rules recently changed. You can only apply where you have residency. So for us that's NZ and Australia.
Go to the Thai Embassy website page for the NZ Embassy you are using and look for the requirements for the DTV Visa. I don't know how many embassies/consulates they have in NZ but it's based on your actual location.
The first requirement is to be in the jurisdiction of the embassy you're applying at. Don't try and trick the system unless you want the DTV cancelled completely
