Wow wasn’t talking to you and I’ve never had such mean tones in this group but okay. I specifically wrote not sure how that part works for a reason.

visa are issued by embassies so I would also say that it is obvious that such an interview is conducted at the embassy.

When you arrive at the airport in Thailand it is already too late for the visa (except visa on arrival).

Thanks for your initial response. Not sure I understand your tone in this second response. “Obviously “ ? It’s not obvious. I didn’t know if they do the interview at the airport or how that works…
