Hi guys apologise if already been asked but there so much different information out thre

Currently applying for a dtv visa I'm UK resident but currently not in that country nor will be returning before flight to thailand.

Do I apply from local Thai embassy or is it ul embassy still?
Answer summary
A UK resident currently applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) should apply at the nearest Thai embassy or consulate in their current location, rather than returning to the UK. Some consulates may have restrictions related to residency, so it's important to verify that you can apply from your current location. Also, keep in mind that you need to stay in the place of application until the visa process is complete.

You must apply using the Thai consulate that serves your current location. Some consulates restrict applications to residents, so if you are not you would have to travel elsewhere to apply. Once you've applied you need to remain in that location until the visa process completes

I see in another response you are in Indonesia so you would apply using the Thai Embassy in Jakarta, no matter where you are in Indonesia

I was also wondering about this as there is no way to show your in the UK as you don't get stamped in as a British citizen so you could just send a recent bank statement or driving license

Anonymous participant 349 Not true. You apply from the embassy in your current location. However, some embassies only allow residents to apply though them.
