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.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

i think it is time to stop this: Additional documents required for citizens from some certain countries

Citizens from the following countries can apply for visa at the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City if they have residence in Vietnam or meet certain conditions.

If not, applicants must apply for visa in their home countries.

Having residence in Vietnam:

- People’s Republic of China

- Bangladesh

- India

- Nepal

- Pakistan

- Sri Lanka

- And the list goes on. You can read for yourself it is on their website:
