TLDR : Answer Summary

A US citizen successfully applied for a DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Seoul despite initial doubts about the requirement for South Korean residency. The applicant paid 400,000 KRW ($275) and submitted necessary documents, including proof of funds, a resume, a certificate of income, and accommodation details. The experience suggests that non-residents of South Korea can apply for this visa at the embassy.

Congratulations on your DTV and Thank You for your report, but the Thai Embassy in Seoul's website is not particularly precise about what documents are needed for those who are not residents in South Korea and the Thai Embassy in Seoul's verbage seemed to imply that only residents of South Korea can apply there....

But, if one looks at the details for a Thai Tourist E–Visa (no details for DTV E–Visa), then it seems, from your experience, an Entry Stamp/sticker upon arrival into South Korea is acceptable for DTV applications of those not residents in South Korea....

Did you submitted all these documents when you applied or they asked as additional documents later?
