Does anyone know whether I can change location of the application while it is proceeding? Who should I contact?

During this past week, several Thai Embassies and Consulates around the world have officially announced and posted Notices that they will go to the Thai E-Visa website [members only]/ system to accept Thai E-Visa applications, process, and issue Thai E-Visas starting on the New Year, 01 January 2025.

Generally, they will stop accepting in-person visa application submissions and stop issuing Thai Visa Stickers on Christmas Eve, 24 December 2024, with a few Thai Embassies/Consulates stopping before that on 20 December 2024 or earlier. At Taipei, they will stop on 27 December 2024.

Do note the processing times with Thai E-Visa are longer than before with many announcements stating 10–15 working days to process and issue Thai E-Visas.

Also, some Thai Embassies/Consulates will NOT be accepting card payments via the Thai E-Visa website, but will instead be accepting payments in Cash after submitting an Thai E-Visa application via the website.

Those Thai Embassies/Consulates that have announced this different method of payment (Cash) are: Vientiane, Savannakhet, Yangon, India, Brunei, Pakistan, Tel Aviv, Jordan, others....

These announcements are in line with the stated goal of the Thai Government to change all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world to the Thai E-Visa website system by December 2024.

Hey everyone, I Applied for Thai E-visa from Malaysia but still shows pending document check and I entered thailand with visa exemption They gonna rejected my Evisa application ?

Applied for Thai E-visa non immigrant Business from Malaysia but still shows pending document check and I entered thailand with visa exemption. They gonna rejected my Evisa application ?

I’m trying to complete the Thai E-Visa. I’m at the point where I need to upload a photo. “The photo must be under 3MB!”

I am stuck at this part. I’ve tried taking the lowest res photos that I can. Still cannot proceed past this point.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Call me old-fashioned & old-school and the fact that, previously, in-person Thai visa application submission + issuance of a physical Thai Visa Sticker in the passport = processing times seem to be quicker than current Thai e-Visa processing times; but, don't think anyone waiting for a Thai Visa Sticker ever exited the country and then re-entered the country to go to a Thai Embassy/Consulate during the wait for their Thai visa sticker issuance

So, the same concept/principle should apply for Thai e-Visa issuance = just stay physically in the country until the Thai e-Visa PDF is issued, even if it is a long processing time....

Also, this whole thing about being too lazy or cheap to physically print out the Thai E-Visa PDF:

Things happen in life, even in a fully digital world and humanity should be conserving paper and not wasting paper, but relying on showing something on a smartphone where some technical glitch could possibly happen and the smartphone becomes inoperable or one accidentally drops their smartphone, anyone would be wiser and more prepared with a simple sheet of paper with their Thai E-Visa printed on it....

As eventually all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world will be using the Thai e-Visa for accepting visa applications and issuing Thai e-Visa's, some of the Frequently Asked Questions are succinctly answered by the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia who started with Thai e-Visa today (26 November 2024):

1.) you have to physically be in the country of where the Thai Embassy/Consulate is located to apply for a Thai e-Visa;

2.) you will not be making any appointments to visit any Thai Embassy/Consulate who issue Thai e-Visa;

3.) it's just best to physically print out the PDF of your Thai e-Visa and have it with your passport (yes, many have reported that they just showed the image of the Thai e-Visa PDF on their mobile cell phone, or the Thai e-Visa should be in Thai immigration's database system, etc. etc.): just print out the Thai e-Visa PDF!

4.) if there is an error, typo, incorrect spelling, etc., then the Thai e-Visa application can be rejected and no correction will most likely be done to rectify and No Refund!

5.) Thai e-Visa processing times are longer than previously in-person visa applications issuing Thai visa stickers....that may shorten in the future, but then again, it may not....
