You can't complete and submit the application without committing fraud, if you're in Thailand, but say that you're in Vietnam...

The application process asks you where you are currently located. Later in the process, you need to upload evidence of you being in that location.
Gerry ********
you can't apply within Thailand!

@Tod ********
yeah. I would not have been pleased if the embassy in Canberra asked me to fly halfway across Australia to visit them....

I assume it's Brussels, but yes, they could have just provided that detail.

It's common with any visa application to use estimated dates, since, in many cases, you wouldn't dare to book the flight until you know you have the visa approved.

@Lance *****
I hadn't booked anything when I applied. I just entered the date when I expected to enter Thailand. That's what they ask for.

Have you signed up and started the online application process? Some questions will be answered once you're logged in and actually doing it.
Gerry ********
If you haven't already done so, signup for the visa application portal and get the process going. I had mine sitting there half-finished for a couple of weeks.

If you have any specific questions, then fire away, but the process is pretty straightforward.

@Lance *****
they'll say how long it could take.

They ask you about your travel plans, but don't require any evidence.

It is speculated that they ask about your travel plans, in order to potentially prioritise applications. I don't think anyone actually knows this for sure though.

LTR is pretty weird in my opinion.

For the remote worker category, you need a pretty decent income, but it's not that high.

The issue is that you need to be employed by a publicly listed company, or a company that has at least USD50 million revenue per year. That shuts out pretty much all small-medium business owners, or employees thereof.
