Currently no, you have from the issue date to the expiry date to enter.

well there is what this individual is going through that was posted 17 hours ago in this group. There are posts in the DTV group about people being asked in for interviews and for copies of passport pages. One individual from Poland previously posted issues in September... the information is out there if you search for it. Some embassies like South Korea state you must remain until the visa is issued on their website as have others. There is also the note on the evisa site under the country you select, photo attached.

is giving you accurate information, the only change with evisa site is how you submit the info. Have people, like

gotten away with it? Yes but it's a risk... up to you if you decide risking losing your visa fee is worth it.

Anonymous participant was the Smart visa issued by a special area like BOI, or just regular immigration? If through BOI I'd ask them. You could also try asking the embassy you'll apply at. I don't know enough about the Smart visa myself, is it multi entry? It does seem that people with an existing METV have to wait till it's expired. People on work visas and I think an Ed visa have been able to cancel it after returning so not sure if it works like that. Maybe ask in the Thai Visa Advice Q&A. There may be someone there with experience.

You need to leave Thailand to apply. When you log into the evisa system it has a pop up stating you can't apply for a visa while in Thailand. Pick a nearby embassy to apply, search the website of where you choose and posts to see requirements.

Print is easiest, saves having to hand your phone over to the immigration officer. The e-visa system has a pop up that tells you to print the visa to hand to immigration but people have been successfull showing it on the phone. Either way, you need to make the IO aware you have a DTV and check your dates before you leave to make sure you got 180 days.

We submitted from a joint account. Balance had to show 500,000THB for each person, so 1M.

Just a thought... maybe consider the DTV? Since you are already posting in the group a quick search to see what category you qualify for might be a good start. You'll probably still need an agent to help set up the bank account though.

At the beginning of the e-visa there is a pop up that states that you acknowledge that you can't be in Thailand when you apply. There is also this little note under current location "Your current location is a country or territory in which you remain at the time that you lodge an application" that everyone seems to ignore.

as pointed out it's embassy dependent. If you haven't already join Destination Thailand Visa (DTV). Search in that group, there are loads of posts that will answer your questions. Once you decide which embassy to go to, the rest is fairly simple.

wouldn't recommend Malaysia, they are reported to be slow and want all sorts of additional documents. Hanoi is reported to be one of the quickest embassies for DTV's right now. If they don't ask for anything additional, they are 5 business days but you have to provide the entry stamp and paid hotel booking. Cambodia is 10-15.
