So you don't need to choose the embassy to match your nationality, where you show proof of address, and where your bank is?

Some Embassies issues pension verifications so you do not need any deposit in Thai banks. You only must prove you have enough money to provide for yourself. 65,000 Baht a month in pension income. If you have a Thai spouse, you need only half of the amount.

I thought it was all done online, then why the need to go through an embassy?

Would really appreciate the advice as we plan to apply in a month.

You’re still applying to an embassy using the evisa system.

Any of those embassies known to be the most accomodating?

At the moment Jakarta seems to have the lead, then Vietnam, London. Personally I feel Manilla is an excellent choice and would have gone there if not approved in Taipei. Very friendly and the most helpful embassy I dealt with pre application. Taipei very fast approval but the most demanding in paperwork.
