Hi all, I'm trying to get an e-visa (Non-Imm O/retirement) for Thailand. I have Brazilian and US passports and am applying with my Brazilian.

The problem is that I'm currently visiting family in Canada and will fly from Vancouver to Bangkok. My understanding from reading old posts here is that one must apply for an e-visa from the country from which you'll be flying to Thailand, which is why I chose Canada instead of the US.

I don't have a Canadian visa because I entered on my American passport. The application wanted proof that I'm in Canada, for which I uploaded my air ticket from Vancouver to Thailand. I also uploaded my Thai bank statement, which shows the required 800k baht.

Unfortunately, the Thai embassy replied with:

* Other request documents: Please upload a Canada PR card, visa or permit

* Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB or having the current balance of 800,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings: Please upload a bank statement with your name showing a monthly income of no less than 2,600 CAD or a current balance of 32,000 CAD

They seem to think I live in Canada and are not allowing for me to just be passing through. They also ignored my Thai bank account.

My questions: can I get an e-visa from a country I'm not resident in? If not, can I reapply from the USA and still fly to Thailand from Canada? And what's the problem with showing the 800k in my Thai bank account?

Thanks for any advice!
