What should I know about applying for the STV Evisa at Thai Embassies in the US?
STV Evisa rejected in less than 24 hours for "applying to wrong Embassy in US". I guess you can't apply to any Embassy.
Summary so far
The user faced a STV Evisa rejection due to applying at the wrong Thai Embassy in the US. The conversation reveals that applicants must use the embassy that services their state. There are four Thai embassies in the US, and users cannot choose their embassy arbitrarily. Additionally, there are notes on the non-refundable nature of visa fees and the documentation required, including proof of address.

Yo, one of the required documents is proof of address to acknowledge you are applying at correct consulate. Think it's #7 how'd you miss that?

OP@Eddie *****
Nope. I was shocked. Why allow me to choose the Embassy if I have no choice? I thought they were promoting tourism. I've decided to cancel everything and rebook my flight until things start making sense again.Eddie ******
@Delvonte *******
I think it will be a long time before normality returns to international travel. The E-Visa system works well for us I UK the visa comes via email no visit to Embassy or need to send passportsZenja ****************
@Eddie *****

Consulates, not embassies. Each country has a maximum of one embassy and it’s always in the capital city.

Yes, starting 2.5 years ago, the Thai Government started throwing up obstacle, after obstacle, for visitors from Western countries.

There's 4 Thai embassies in the US, you have to choose the one that services your state.
Brandon ************
You've never been able to pick and choose. You need to use the one that covers your state.
