Can I submit a Thai visa application across the territory?

In order to better handle business, many countries have opened embassies and consulates in various places. The number is relatively large, and different consular areas are divided according to the different locations. However, some countries only set up embassies in Beijing, and there is no need to divide consular areas. However, for Thailand, embassies and consulates in different locations have been set up and consular areas have been divided. Can Thai visa applications be submitted across consular areas?

The Thai Embassy has nine embassies and consulates in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Chengdu, Nanning, Xi'an, Xiamen and Qingdao. According to the location of the establishment, nine consular areas are divided. Applicants must submit their passports according to the consular areas where they are issued. They can also submit applications across consular areas. They need to provide an additional valid residence certificate.

Due to different consular areas, the addresses of embassies and consulates that can submit materials are also different. Applicants must first know which consular area they belong to, and then submit materials according to the embassy location and office hours of the consular area. Moreover, due to different embassies and consulates, the processing process, signing time and expenses may also be different.

For example, the Beijing embassy has opened the electronic visa. Applicants must first fill in the form online, upload the electronic document for confirmation, and then submit the paper-based materials to the embassy to pay the visa fee. Other consular areas have not opened the electronic visa. The visa processing process in Thailand is still the same as before. Therefore, it is recommended that applicants understand clearly before applying.

Generally speaking, the Thai embassy is divided into nine consular districts. The requirements for consular districts are relatively strict. However, it can also be submitted across consular districts. Only a residence certificate is required. If it cannot be provided, it cannot be applied in the consular district. If there are other problems, it can be consulted online.
