I got mine in Cambodia but am American. I wear t-shirt and shorts when traveling (for comfort). Didn't use an agent and previously had a work visa (prior to 2019) and have entered Thailand 10+ times a year on visa exempt, with most stays being 7 to 14 days (was living in Cambodia)\. Still had no issues with DTV.
- Here is an example from the Thai embassy in Romania. It clearly states that Romanians in Thailand or outside of Romania can not apply via the embassy in Romania. Under your argument, a Romanian in Malaysia can apply via Romania, which is a clear contradiction.
The e-visa application clearly asks where you are physically located. You can try to scam the site and say you are in Germany, which is what the agent is telling you to do
is the last immigration officer told you that you need a visa next time or you won’t be allowed to enter, I would probably pay the 40 bucks (or whatever it costs) and just get the visa.
which embassy in Europe you applying through? Most require you to be a resident of that country to apply for a Thai visa. What is your passport nationality?
