What documents are required for French applicants applying for Thai visas?
French applicants, please note:
My French friend received a last-minute request (from the Paris embassy) for an additional document:
"certificate of residence delivered by the local city hall"
The problem is that some people don't have any direct proof of residence (for example if they recently came back from working abroad for several years).
Furthermore, getting an appointment at the local city hall may take 10-15 days, meaning you can't leave the country for quite a while if that was your plan (I know you're not supposed to).
So be careful not to get caught in this limbo if you apply, or be ready to stay in France for a while 🤮
I believe a similar requirement also applies to German and Dutch applicants.
Good luck.

Answer summary
French applicants for Thai visas may be asked for a 'certificate of residence' issued by their local city hall, which can be difficult to obtain quickly and create delays in their travel plans. This issue also extends to German and Dutch applicants, causing confusion and frustration within the expat community, particularly as some may not have direct proof of residence if they've been living abroad. The discussion highlights concerns about the complexities and perceived barriers in the visa application process.
