You can apply for a DTV from any country. You do not need an ILR or any residence certificate, but you must be able to prove you are actually in the UK, and you will need to confirm you will stay until the application has been decided.

Maybe im wrong here and if I am i accept that.

But if you receive indefinite leave to stay i would assume you have claimed asylum in the uk.

If so im not quite sure how the Thai embassy in London are going to look on your application.

How they manage to find this Facebook group?

What do I need to apply for a visa...

We have to guess which visa for which purpose.

You should be able to apply but double check with the London embassy. You will need to show the docs you have indicating ILR, Inc passport stamp or Biometric residence permit indicating ILR. Letter from HO confirming ILR was issued.

What is an indefinite leave to remain?
