Do I need to go to the embassy to apply for the ED Visa if there’s no Thai embassy in Tunisia?

John *******

The evisa system just sends your application electronically to the embassy. You need to select the embassy in the country where you are physically located. If your country does not have a Thai embassy, usually it will be covered by a Thai embassy in a near by country or in the region.
