if you have Residency in Hong Kong or Macau, then you can apply for a Thai E–Visa at the Thai Consulate in Hong Kong

"...

Confirmation of legal residence, in the context of the Hong Kong SAR, generally refers to:

(a) Hong Kong Permanent Identity Card (“A” HKID);

(b) Hong Kong Identity Card indicating right to land (“R” HKID) or unconditional stay permit (“U” HKID); or

(c) valid stay permit issued by Hong Kong Immigration (for “C” HKID holders).

Confirmation of legal residence, in the context of the Macao SAR, generally refers to:

(a) Macao Permanent Resident ID Card (flip-side to be submitted along with front-side); or

(b) valid stay permit issued by Macao Immigration

...."

"...

Applicants whose current legal residence is NOT in the Hong Kong SAR or the Macao SAR, i.e. who are Visitors in the Hong Kong SAR or the Macao SAR, CANNOT apply via the Royal Thai Consulate-General [in Hong Kong]

Anonymous participant Thank you very much for this report about going to the Global IME Bank Branch for a Manager's Cheque as this information will be very helpful for anyone wanting to get any Thai E–Visa at the Thai Embassy in Kathmandu!

it does NOT matter if you are a Cyprus tax resident, because what is pertinent to any Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate for any Thai E–Visa application are:

1.) where you are PHYSICALLY located at while you submit a Thai E–Visa application and stay located at while your Thai E–Visa application is being processed until it is issued;

2.) what passport country the Thai E–Visa applicant is holding and submitting for a Thai E–Visa to be issued for

Now, let's say you are PHYSICALLY in Cyprus, then the Thai Embassy in Rome, Italy has jurisdiction for all Thai E–Visa applications for those physically in Cyprus and would submit any Thai E–Visa to the Thai Embassy in Rome, and here are the details for a DTV E–Visa application at the Thai Embassy in Rome:

Also, on the Thai eVisa website, anyone would have to consciously and deliberately have made consideration and needed to have made an affirmative choice of "United Arab Emirates" as there is both a Thai Embassy in Abu Dhabi, UAE and a Thai Consulate in Dubai, UAE with the following message in Red colour and Asterisk below the selection for the particular Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate:

"...

Where there is NO Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate – General in your area, please find the one with APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

Welcome to Thailand!

And, Congratulations on getting your DTV E–Visa from the Thai Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal!

Thank you very much for your report on applying in Kathmandu!

Was obtaining a Nepali bank manager's cheque difficult, easy, time consuming, or fairly quickly at the bank branch??

Easiest suggestion to your answer = Leave it blank / don't fill it in as it is NOT required/mandatory

No, they were at Suvarnabhumi Airport trying to board the Lao Airlines (QV) flight to Vientiane, Laos....and, they were tentatively scheduled to have a return flight back to Suvarnabhumi Airport from Vientiane

FYI— This has nothing to do with Thai E–Visa's, Thai Visa Exemption free stamp (ผ.60-ม.17), or even the 15 countries eligible for Thai Visa on Arrival (Thai VoA)

The Lao Airlines (QV) check-in counter staff at Suvarnabhumi Airport have been known to be quite zealous and going beyond their assigned duties as only hired ground staff for an airline and they are NOT Lao Immigration Officers/Officials....

Thai Airways (TG) or Bangkok Airways (PG) at Suvarnabhumi Airport or Thai AirAsia (FD) at Don Meuang Airport are not as zealous as sometimes the Lao Airlines (QV) check-in counter staff at Suvarnabhumi Airport can be about Lao Entry requirements

Alternatively, you can catch a domestic flight to Udon Thani (UTH) and make an overland crossing at the Friendship Bridge land border (Nong Khai)

or, catch an overnight train from Krungthep Apiwat Central Train Station at Bang Sue (Bangkok), either the train going to Khamsavath Station at Vientiane, or the more comfortable train to Nong Khai, then a short wait for and catch train that goes to Khamsavath Station in Vientiane at Nong Khai Station

The price for a Lao Visa on Arrival (Lao VoA) is USD $40 Dollars (using pristine "new" condition US Dollar Banknotes) for all passports except China and Vietnam, and, there are a few countries that cannot obtain a Lao VoA and must get a Lao Visa Sticker from a Lao Embassy/Lao Consulate beforehand

Also, regarding the price of a Lao VoA, any other currency used is at the discretion of the Lao Immigration Officer issuing a Lao VoA and will not be at a favorable exchange rate price, such as ฿1900 Thai Baht (vs. e.g., ฿1200 or ฿1300 Thai Baht at current exchange rates for USD $40)
