yes I have tried that and the rules are different in every country. Example Malaysia Thailand embassy states you need to be a permanent resident or local to apply. Trust me they make up their own rules in every country.
This visa process is causing so much issues with people. If I want to come to Thailand I have to fly back to Australia do 2 x weeks quarantine, then apply for a visa (if I’m allowed out). And then do 2 weeks quarantine in Thailand. One I haven’t been back to Australia for over 2 years and I work in the oil and gas industry so it doesn’t make sense to do 4 weeks in a hotel to get 1 to 2 weeks holiday! Hopefully something changes soon.....
