Hey everyone, in reading through as many posts here as I can and after calling the embassy of my home country I'm still a bit confused on how to handle my situation regarding location and residence.

I have a country of residence, I am currently not in (which does NOT have a Thai embassy). I also left my country of citizenship I was visiting recently which does have a Thai embassy with which I spoke to. My business is US based although I'm neither a resident or citizen there and not present there either.

I'm getting a lot of mixed information, I've read that I need documents proving my residence ties to my country of permanent residence (utility bill, residence card etc). I've also read I need proof of my current location, which also often seems to be documents related to residence? So I'm confused.

When I spoke to the representative from the embassy she really emphasized the importance of showing residence ties to your permanent place of residence not my current location, although she seemed to indicate my original home country would be acceptable too.

On another note did anyone apply from their home country that is no longer their permanent residence? If so what documents did you use?

So I'm at a bit of a loss here. I read about people traveling to Laos, Vietnam etc to apply for their evisas, I could do the same and am considering it. I just know my situation is a little more convoluted than most and applying through a foreign embassy as a tourist may only further complicate things. Any suggestions or clarifications are welcome. 🙏

With the e-visa now rolling out in many countries, am I correct in thinking that if I am a resident of Australia that normally does his non-o (marriage) there if I were to go to South Africa (work) would i still be able to apply for a non-o there and come back to Thailand even though I'm not a resident of South Africa?

Cheers

One quick question, is it better to apply at KL Thai Embassy or Penang Thai consulate??

I emailed and the Penang Thai Consulate replied me faster and told me it would take 5-7 working days. I am Pakistani Passport Holder as well.

And seen many posts about people who have long waiting time when applied in Kuala Lumpur KL.

Penang Malaysia DTV

Your visa application has been cancelled. We regrettably need to cancel your application because you have no residence in Malaysia.

Anyone on visit visa to Malaysia got approved?

Hi everyone!

Two Questions about DTV Soft Power:

1. If I have no address or proof of residency in my home country, do Thai embassies accept any Hotel address from the country where I`m going to apply for DTV?

2. Do I have to apply for soft power classes for the whole 5 years? Or only the first 180 day term? And if so, is it possible to change between different soft power activities?

Thanks for your help guys ;-)

Hi, i’ve seen a good flight ticket going to Tapei. But i discovered there is a stop in Seoul. Which of these two places is easier (time, no boring, live cost waiting) to apply for DTV (for the ones who did it) ?

Hi, I am currently in Georgia (country). I see it listed in the countries where you can apply for DTV but there is no embassy or consulate here. When I go on e-visa website and enter Georgia as current place of residence, it makes me enter Ankara, Türkiye as embassy to apply. Will it require me to go to the Turkish embassy or can I apply online here and receive everything electronically? I have Canadian passport, and my husband has Russian passport.

Hi Folks

Hi everyone. I am a British citizen currently in Thailand but I will be going to Malaysia to apply for my Thai non-B visa to work in an English language school. For the online application it seems I need some sort of proof of 'residency' in Malaysia. What can I use for this? My visa upon entry stamp? I also need proof of finances, should my adress on my bank statment be in Malaysia or is it ok for it to be in the UK? Thanks so much for any help/guidance.
