being a thai residentgetting a tourist visa for china

Question

I've read a few responses on here where it says if you're not a resident in Thailand you can't get a Chinese Tourist type one. Anyone know why this is? I work in Papau New Guinea but return to Thailand for my downtime. I can get one here provided I complete an additional application as an individual applying for one in a Country I am not Resident. Does that process not also apply in Thailand?If I book my flights and hotel through a travel agent in Thailand, can they apply for a L type on my behalf?

Yes, the applicants who apply in the third country must provide the legal status (resident permit for employment or study) there. If you are still in Papau New Guinea, then apply one from there. It's much easier than Thailand because you have resident permit for work.  I am not sure if the travel agency can handle it for you. Perhaps, you can find one and ask them about this.

Hi Danny , well I'm in the same boat wanting to fly to Beijing from Hong Kong  for 5 days , then back to Hong Kong and then back to Thailand where I'm on a multiple entry visa to Thailand , the embassy ... If you are not applying for the visa in the country of your citizenship, you must provide the original and photocopy of your valid certificates or visa of stay, residence, employment or student status, or other valid certificates of legal staying provided by the relevant authorities of the country where you are currently staying. valid certificate or visa of stay  should be the answer , not residency or student , the receptionist handed me an application fora visa after I told here what I wanted to do in Chinag Mai
