where is more chances to get thai DTV visa for Russian citizen?
Answer summary
Russian citizens seeking a Thai DTV visa should consider applying at Thai embassies in nearby countries such as Vietnam, Laos, or the Philippines, which have been reported to be more accommodating. Factors such as previous visa history, personal documentation, and the location of application significantly impact the chances of approval. Moscow's embassy is known for strict documentation requirements, particularly for freelancers and self-employed individuals, making nearby countries more viable options. Each case is unique, so thorough preparation is essential.

from my experience (and people around me), DTV approval isn’t really about the passport, but where you apply and how clear your personal case is

also important: not all Thai embassies accept third-country applicants. e.g. in Dubai they usually require an Emirates ID, so you can’t just fly there as a tourist and apply. in many European countries it’s similar. Hong Kong and China may also have restrictions

if the one is officially employed by a Russian company, meets all DTV criteria, and is physically in Moscow, applying in Moscow should be fine

but if the person is self-employed / freelance / working for a foreign or international company, Moscow can be tricky. The Thai Embassy there requires specific documents that only locally employed applicants can provide. in that case, most Russians choose to apply in nearby countries like Laos, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, where the requirements are more flexible towards freelances and remote workers.

tldr it’s not about nationality, it's about the case. good luck!

there's many young Russians who do not wish to join the war. People don't represent their governments.

They still represent Russia and praise Putin and his war, but they don't want to sacrifice themselves for their master. They think that those who can't afford a flight and a longterm vacation should go to the front.

It totally depends on:

1) Your previous visa history in Thailand.

2) Whether your personal documents fully meet the requirements.

3) Your current location.

If you have all the required documents and fully meet the criteria, consider applying in a location where fewer CIS nationals submit applications to potentially increase your chances.
