TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses the details of filling out a visa application for Thailand, specifically for a New Zealand citizen. It includes questions about how to indicate the place of issue for documents and what to enter in the employment section if one is both a business owner and a freelancer. Additionally, it confirms that the applicant's current address while applying from Laos should reflect their temporary accommodation.

click proceed to payment, print the payment thingo and head on down. Good luck 😅

Oh and fyi, spoke with them today and they were just as surprised as I was about the 14 day wait (although not changeable now).

Good luck!

haha yea I figured it out. Lack of sleep my brain is mashed it’s actually stressful as on most Thai documents there are no explanations mainly.

I sent my train ticket as my Thai entry date so hopefully it gets me in quicker although I doubt it

I’m still questioning if I’ve filled it all out properly

yeah honestly it's all a bit of a mess haha, when I went in there was only one guy in the embassy working, and he was so unimpressed with life. After annoying him for a while he finally got another guy, but basically they know nothing more than we do and just say "go to the website" or "call the number" (which no on picks up, lol).
