Has anyone from South America recently applied or had any experience here? I'm currently in Paraguay (but I have an EU passport), and if I'm not mistaken, there's only an honorary consulate in Asunción, but no official embassy. The nearest Thai embassy is in Buenos Aires 🇦🇷.

So how does the process look like to apply from here - or is it not even possible to apply from a country where no embassy exists?
Answer summary
Applying for a Thai visa from Paraguay can be challenging due to the lack of a full Thai embassy in the country. Applications must be directed to the Thai Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which handles visa applications for Paraguayans. The process involves making a cash payment in US dollars in person at the embassy, as they do not accept other payment methods remotely. It's recommended to visit or arrange for someone to make the payment on your behalf.

Thai E–Visa Applications could be problematic as the Thai Embassy in Buenos Aires will process and issue Thai E–Visa's, such as a DTV E–Visa, for ANYONE in Paraguay:

BUT the Thai Embassy in Buenos Aires ONLY accepts Method of PAYMENT as CASH only in US Dollars

so, to actually start the processing of a Thai E–Visa Application at the Thai Embassy in Buenos Aires, you or someone else would have to make the CASH Payment in US Dollars in–person at the Thai Embassy in Buenos Aires

Either you make a trip to Buenos Aires to make Cash Payment or arrange for someone else to make Cash Payment on your behalf at the Thai Embassy in Buenos Aires (Cash Payment in US Dollars)

There is no full Royal Thai Embassy located in Paraguay. Diplomatic and consular services for Paraguay are handled by the ⁠ Embassy in Buenos Aires - Argentina, which has jurisdiction over Paraguay.

I applied in Brazil in Sep 2024, it was quite easy.
