Which countries near Thailand are currently issuing Thai tourist visas?

But I have applied for and received a visa with just a confirmed flight itinerary

I used a company called travelvisaguru

@Tom ******

as the visa is valid for several months for entry many don't actually have proper flights booked and won't unless they know they have the visa. You just need a confirmed flight itinerary and those can be purchased online for about $15

I only suggested the VPN as I thought the e-visa site may be blocked from countries who can't use it

Okay, even better then. He just needs a flight itinerary

@Tom ******

yes they want to see a plane ticket from the country you're applying from. Also a VPN wouldn't do anything, they don't track you by IP address for a Visa application.

@Brandon ***********

yes, so he sets the VPN the the states.

@Brett *********

you DON'T NEED a VPN. The evisa system does not track IP address. A VPN wouldn't do anything. Completely useless. They want to see a plane ticket from US to Thailand for you to apply from US.

so you answered your own question right? That’s what clarification is as needed 😊

Again you ask why need tourist visa? - so what the alternate you recommended is viable to all applications. ?

@Siddhartha ********

no idea really. But it’s distinctly possible. One would hope that if a person could obtain a Thai visa in their home nation, that policy would be supported by their consulates around the world.

@Todd ********

true! Should be very much as you said., but the application goes to Thai consulate in third nation while applying there so the home nation funda doesn’t apply! As myself Indian national! I have heard people having hard time applying schenzen tourist visa in Thailand as Indian nationals- require permanent residency status or at least a work permit etc! So yes nationality wise discrepancies are there, may be I not have authentic source but yes some from our fb platform I read posts more often! But I guess the person who’s post is- might not have problem !

Also to add up- the criteria they restrict and sometimes even case to case basis in here and other third countries is viable and practical- as lot of problems of illegal work and migration reports of some nationalities which I won’t speak but we all know! So in a way they are doing is right .
