# What is "Document indicating current location (e.g., valid visa, receipt(s)/proof(s) of payment of airline tickets or accommodation, etc.)?"

I presume they are asking for proof of current stay. For example, if you are living in Australia, the equivalent would be like a Drivers License or a utility bill?

Current location is not referring to Thailand, right?
Answer summary
The phrase "Document indicating current location" refers to a requirement for visa applications that serves as proof of a person's current residency or presence in the country where they are applying. Examples include entry stamps from passports, hotel receipts, and photographs taken in front of recognizable locations that include identifiable timestamps. It's important to note that applicants are not allowed to apply for their visa while physically present in Thailand; they must submit their applications from another country.

I sent them a photo of me in front of a store in Da Nang, holding a receipt from this store and my passport in my hands. And separately next to it there is a piece of the image of the receipt where the date and time with the name of the city are clearly visible. Visa approved.

I used my passport entry stamp, the hotel receipts and took a photograph of me standing in front of the entrance lol. It's proof that your actually in the country of which embassy you are applying at. So in my case I chose to do the application in Laos so they wanted proof I was actually in laos

Not Thailand. You are not allowed to apply while in Thailand
