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. 🙏
