Documents required for an e-visa for Thailand:
The documents to upload are listed during the application process on the official portal, thaievisa.go.th. Do not assume that a general document list applies to every file: check the portal or the relevant embassy for documents required in your case. The observed official fee is 40 USD.
Submit the application online at thaievisa.go.th. Follow the application journey provided on the portal, enter the requested information and upload the required documents. For rules or circumstances not detailed in the online application, consult mfa.go.th or the relevant embassy.
An e-visa for Thailand is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Rwanda but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.
