What documents do I need to prove my current location for a Thai DTV visa application, and are there travel restrictions after approval?

ORIGINAL POSTER

I’m planning to apply for the DTV this year as a UK citizen online via the London embassy while I’m at home in the UK and have two questions:

1. What should I use for “document indicating current location” to show I am in the UK?

2. Once the visa is granted (hopefully!), is there any stipulation about travelling direct from home country (UK) to Thailand? I’m asking because I was thinking about travelling first to Eastern Europe for some weeks and then onwards to Thailand. 

Thank you for your help and advice!

TLDR : Answer Summary

To demonstrate your current location in the UK for your DTV application, you can use various documents such as a bank statement, driver's license, energy bill, or any utility bill that shows your name and address. After your visa is approved, you are generally free to travel directly to Thailand from any location, including stopping in Eastern Europe beforehand, although you may need to submit your flight itinerary as part of your application process.

1. I used my driver's license.

2. I don't believe so. But I was asked for supporting documentation - "Please upload your Flight booking showing your name as passenger , departure date, all flights en route from UK/Ireland/UK territories to Thailand". So you'll probably need to provide flights from the UK to Eastern Europe to Thailand.

Bank statement, driver license, energy bill are all possibilities as long as name and adress is on it.

When it is granted you are free to decide when and how you enter the country.
