Why is applying from Puerto rico hard?

do i need to choose this instead?

dont want to waste money on being denied.
Answer summary
Applying for a Thai visa from Puerto Rico is challenging due to the absence of a Thai embassy in the territory, requiring applicants to go through the embassy located in Washington, D.C. This can lead to longer processing times and potential delays compared to applying in nearby countries like Vietnam or the Philippines. Additionally, the type of visa application, such as the DTV visa, and the applicant's specific circumstances may further complicate the process.

If you’re currently in Puerto Rico then DC Thai embassy will be where you apply, personally it is much faster to travel to Vietnam or Philippines and apply from there as approval is significantly faster vs waiting 2-3months to get approval back from DC

What is your passport nation?

Where are you now?

For what purpose for the DTV visa will you be applying for?

Workcation or Soft Power Activity?

If soft power activity, which one?

And how many months of the soft power activity will you be submitting with your DTV application?

Sorry, BUT here is the corect answer from the SAME website

Country will be United States and Apply at Waschington DC

This due the simple fact that there is NO Thai Embassy in Puerto Rico, only a honorair consulate.
