Hi all, regarding "document indicating current location", I assume that means a utility bill/bank statement or something similar? I don't have anything with a proof of address as I dont have a permanent address. Does that immediately disquailfy me from applying?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around what constitutes acceptable documentation to prove one's current location when applying for a Thai visa. Utility bills or bank statements are commonly suggested as proof of address, but various commenters mention that for applications made from outside the home country, alternatives like hotel bookings, selfies, or entry stamps in the passport may be accepted. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these documents can depend on the specific embassy where the application is submitted.

Hi all, thanks for replies. I'm actually in Canada now, but have a UK passport (haven't lived in UK since I was a kid) so I was hoping to apply from here. I'm just staying with friends here for a few weeks.

Current location is where you are applying from usually they request the entry stamp photo to prove your current location which should match the place you’re applying from

It depends. Where will you apply from? Some embassies, notable in South East Asia, accept hotel bookings and/or selfies as proof of current location. Where would you apply from?

In your home country: driver license, utility bill or government issued letter about show your address

If apply from abroad: entry stamp in your passport, hotel booking confirm or proof of stay
