Why do some people prefer to apply for a visa at an embassy instead of using the e-visa application process?

The preference for in-person embassy visits over e-visa applications can stem from concerns about ensuring all paperwork is correct before payment. Since all Thai visa applications have shifted online as of January 1st, some individuals previously favored physical applications due to the ability to confirm document accuracy beforehand, which prevented unnecessary fees if their application was incomplete. Additionally, some embassies set specific rules that may still require personal visits for certain procedures.
