The core rule for applying for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is that you must apply outside of Thailand at any Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate General worldwide that processes e-Visas.

The application process is increasingly handled through the official Thai e-Visa system. This means the physical location of the consulate or embassy is becoming less relevant for submission, but the processing rules can still vary slightly by location.

Since an exhaustive, real-time list of all worldwide Thai embassies and their specific DTV opening hours is not publicly available or static, I will provide the general rule and highlight key locations that have officially published DTV requirements.

Since the DTV is applied for almost exclusively through the Thai e-Visa online system, the physical opening hours are less relevant than the processing rules of the consulate you select. The primary requirement is that you must apply through the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate General responsible for your current country of residence.

Here is a list of key locations that have published specific DTV requirements, formatted for easy copying:
