Hi, does anyone have experience applying for a DTV e-visa via embassies in China? I wanna know how strict they are on foreigners who don't live in China. And how long the visa takes?

Summary so far

The inquiry discusses the process of applying for a DTV e-visa at Thai embassies in China, questioning the strictness towards foreigners who do not reside in China and the expected duration for the visa processing.

I'm not Chinese but when I look on the E-visa site it says I need to apply to the closest embassies, which only shows the ones in China, since in my country there's no Thai embassy/consulate. I don't see any other country options on the e-visa site.

Anonymous participant - For countries that do not have a Thai embassy, they are usually assigned an embassy in a nearby country. For example, Ukraine is assigned to the Thai embassy in Warsaw Poland and I believe Mongolia is assigned to the embassy in Beijing China (need to verify). If that is your case, I believe you can use the e-visa system and apply via the embassy in that neighboring country, while you stay physically in your country. All that being said, the Thai embassies in China are known to be very difficult in approving visas. You might have better luck traveling to Laos, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc and applying there

I was afraid that might be the case based on so far what I've read about e-visa issuance in China. Thanks.
