ORIGINAL POSTERHello ,I am from India and I am planning to apply my first student visa ,dose anyone have a experience about first year of student applying in Vietnam? ( Some advice from experience people who applied there visa from Vietnam in Thai embassy) thanks In advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
An Indian national is seeking advice on applying for a student visa while in Vietnam, particularly about the procedures and restrictions involved. Several community members contributed, mentioning that Indians typically cannot apply for a Thai visa outside of India, emphasizing the need for applicants to have residence in Vietnam or certain conditions met to apply at a Thai consulate there. There are discussions on the alternative NON-O visa and the educational visa (ED) for those studying in Thailand.

Are you sure you can apply for a visa outside of your home country of India?
