More E-visa problems. Where it asks, where are you presently located, I put the United States. But I keep having a message pop up that says I cannot apply for a visa while currently in Thailand. W.T.H! Every step of the way each year I have to go through this. Is there any other way I can get a visa?
Answer summary
The user is facing issues with the E-visa application that incorrectly indicates they cannot apply while currently in Thailand, despite being located in the USA. Various comments suggest that this message is informational, and users advise to simply ignore it and proceed with the application. Some recommend using a VPN if necessary and highlight the ease of applying online. Additional mentions include getting a visa exemption, or other humorous suggestions. The conversation stresses that receiving the warning message is a common experience for applicants.

Why any other way. It’s so simple applying online. Probably takes 10-15 minutes of your time. The message is you get is just some information. Go to the next step

Are you in Thailand currently? Because you cannot apply for DTV from within Thailand. You know that’s part of the process. So get a VPN on your computer and point it outside of the country before you apply. I really can’t believe this is a conversation.

Use a VPN with it programmed to the US. I imagine it can see where you are by your computer’s address.

If you are not in Thailand just ignore. If you are in Thailand, obviously don’t apply illegally.

That's a warning that everyone gets. It is informational, it's not telling you that they think you are in Thailand.
