TLDR : Answer Summary

A Swedish citizen seeking to apply for a DTV visa can do so from either Sweden or Switzerland, as applications from these countries are allowed. However, it is essential to have relevant documentation, such as proof of residency in Sweden, which may include a letter from the tax authorities confirming permanent residency. While the applicant can stay in a neighboring country during the visa processing, they must leave Thailand before submitting the application.

Are you still registered in Sweden and have an address there? I contacted the Thai embassy in Sweden a month ago. For applying there you need that document from the tax authorities that shows your permanent residency. Forgot what it’s called but if you’re from Sweden I am sure you know it.

Anonymous participant I was in Sweden for a few weeks this summer but couldn’t apply because I don’t have an address there. I would just call them. They were super helpful.

Anonymous participant you can’t apply in Thailand. And while agents can deal with this for you by way of payment, if you try while here it’s likely to be rejected. It’s all about who you know not what you know.
