DTV proof of current location
Current official guidance says foreign nationals can apply for Thai e-Visas from anywhere outside Thailand, but embassy pages still commonly require a separate document indicating current location.
Primary-source applicant reports show the practical problem: people assume a hotel booking or flight alone is enough, then get follow-up requests for stronger local proof such as legal stay, residence evidence, or a clearer filing-location bundle.
The strongest files usually combine entry evidence, current-stay evidence, and a short note naming the filing post so the reviewer can verify the story quickly.

How to use this page
DTV Proof of Current Location is written for people preparing a Thailand Destination Thailand Visa file, including applicants and Thai helpers supporting someone else. Use it as a preparation check before submitting documents, not as a promise that an embassy will approve a specific case.
What Thai embassies may want to see to verify where you are filing from: entry evidence, stay proof, and location-document mistakes to avoid. The practical goal is to make the applicant's route, funds, identity documents, and supporting evidence easy for a reviewer to understand.
What to check before relying on it
Read this page alongside the latest embassy instructions for the place where the applicant will apply. DTV practice can differ by post, and public reports are best used as preparation signals. A stronger file usually makes the applicant's category clear, shows funds in a readable way, explains unusual bank activity, and avoids mismatched names, dates, or document versions.
If a Thai friend, partner, assistant, or agent is helping, they can use these notes to translate requirements into a simple document checklist. The applicant should still confirm official rules, because DTVCheck is a preparation tool and not an embassy decision maker.
