First time applying for a tourist single entry visa through the Thai e online living in the UK. When l select country of residence l can only click United Kingdom and British overseas territories. Then when entering location again l only can click United Kingdom and British overseas territories. Then comes you cannot apply for a tourist visa whilst in Thailand.

Answer summary

The post discusses challenges faced by a UK resident in applying for a Thai tourist single entry visa through the e-visa system, particularly the limitation of options only allowing the selection of the United Kingdom and its territories. It also highlights a warning message that appears during the application process regarding applying while in Thailand, and suggests that accepting the warning may allow users to proceed.
