Where are the "eVisa" processed?

[Confuscious]

In an other thread, I published aleady that not every country shares the same ideas about Visa's for Thailand.
I live currently in Spain and, according the Thai consulate in Spain, a visa on retirement purposes is an "O-A" Visa.
With the health insurance requirements.
If I would apply for an "eVisa", is this processed by the country where you are residing at the moment or centrally in Thailand?

It will be processed in Spain.  But I would ignore the website information, in many cases it it incorrect/out of date.

Can it be processed in an other country using a VPN?

You have to apply in the country where you are. As far as I recall, most if not all visa applications require that you prove that you are in the country.

No. You need to show your presence in the country in which you are applying.

Correct. In some threads people have asked same question eg apply for e-Visa for Thailand while in Thailand. 

This will not work. I'm referring to nearby countries eg Vietnam etc.

Your entry stamp to that country will prove you are in the country.

No, but if you want a Non-O visa instead of a Non-OA visa, you could become a temporary resident (tourist) in one of Thailand's neighboring countries and apply there.

So, the best solution would be to apply for a tourist visa in Spain, anywhere near Thailand, and apply for an eVisa from there.
