That's very interesting and somewhat surprising!

Have you tested that? I've been back online several times, but never went past the first screen.

I'm surprised that they'd create separate downstream forms for different countries, when the fundamental requirement 'should' be the same, but it's obviously doable...

Nepal is on the list. Seems that you currently need to apply in-person, if you're in Nepal.

it's more of a thing if applying online, for e-Visa.

With the e-Visa portal, you can only upload 1 document relating to your employment, so you need to compile several documents into one and it's helpful to explain those by means of a covering letter.

For an in-person application, you can simply explain it in-person.

the website is the same for all locations, but the application and documents you submit will be directed to the embassy/consulate you're applying at.

In theory, any application could be processed anywhere, but as far as we're told, that's not what happens.

I included them, but I'm not sure if they made any difference.

I included everything that I thought might be helpful, from the start and was not asked to provide more information.

I included payslips, simply as another way to confirm my employment with the company (that I happen to own).

Income is not a factor, but proof of employment is.

that's very true!

In that case, I'm not sure how you can truly verify your current location.

Some folks in this group believe that the embassies/consulates can check your immigration status in Thailand. If that's the case, at least they can verify that you're out of the country...

That's one part of it, but some others mention including a photo of their passport, showing the entry stamp to the country, where the application is being made.

If, for the sake of argument, one booked a hotel in Hanoi and used that booking as evidence, whilst they're actually applying from Thailand, it might work. What if they ask for more evidence, such as a photo of the entry stamp to Vietnam?

I'm not saying it's likely, but it's certainly possible. With the e-visa process, if your application is rejected, you lose the fee.

@Jai ******
what are you talking about? DTV allows multiple 180 day entries.

your statement: "visa is for 90 days" is just nonsensical...

I'm not sure what you're asking. Start your own post.
