What is the best approach to apply for a DTV visa while living in Bangkok with a US passport?
Hey guys! I currently live in BKK and am from the US. I have my Muay Thai DTV acceptance letter (soft-activities application) and am trying to figure out the best way to get my DTV. Should I apply through LA (California is my home state) and get it issued digitally or is it best to do an E-visa through Vietnam? After doing some research, it seems Vietnam is the best option. With this being said, with the recent e-visa changes is the following process correct: apply online, leave Thailand and go to Vietnam, wait for digital approval while in Vietnam via email, re-enter Thailand, and receive a stamp from immigration. Let me know if I'm missing anything and what your guy's thoughts are! Thanks :).

If you want to apply in the US then travel to the US before applying. If you want to apply in Vietnam then travel to Vietnam before applying. You can't apply from inside Thailand

This is not the right or legitimate way to do it. Go to the country where you are applying from. If you are going to Vietnam why not apply from Vietnam.

You don't apply online before you leave Thailand. You do it IN the country from where you are applying. In the application you need to show the address to where you are staying AND your passport page with an entry stamp to the country.
