Hi,

my wife wants to apply for a Tourist E-Visa.

She is originally Chinese but with German passport.

Actually she visites her parents in China and wants to travel to Thailand fromm there.

My question is: Where does she have to apply for the E-Visa? In China or in Germany? 

Best regards

Uwe

Answer summary

A user inquired about the appropriate location for their wife, a Chinese national holding a German passport, to apply for a Tourist E-Visa for Thailand while visiting her parents in China. The advice provided clarified that she must apply for the visa in the country where she is physically present. Therefore, if she is in China, she should apply there; if she were in Germany, she would apply there instead. Additionally, it was noted that she might be eligible for visa exemption for up to 30 days in Thailand when traveling on her German passport.

Does a Thai citizen need a visa if she enters on a British passport

"enters on a British passport" so yes (or enter Visa Exempt) but she can get a 12 month extension for 1900B as being a "former Thai"

If she holding a German passport then she just enter Thailand with visa exemption 30 days and extend once at nearby immigration office for 30 days so that’s total of 60 days in Thailand.

You can only apply where you are physically. So if she's in Germany she would apply through Germany. If she's in China she would apply through china.

But keep in mind most embassies will require you to show a plane ticket from the country you are applying through to Thailand. So if she's not going from Germany to Thailand, they might reject a visa application since she can't show a plane ticket from Germany to Thailand.
