Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you for all the information shared in this group. It has been extremely helpful. However, I still have a couple of questions.

My first question is about where to apply for the DTV.

I am a Spanish citizen currently living in Georgia (the country), where I run my freelance business online. I am currently leaving Thailand and returning to Georgia. I have already transferred the required funds to my Wise account and my Georgian bank account.

I will spend the next two months in Georgia and then two months in Spain. Since I need to wait three months to obtain the required bank statements, I will be in Spain by the time I am ready to apply.

My initial plan was to apply through the Thai Embassy in Spain while I am there. However, after checking their website, I noticed that they seem to accept applications only from legal residents of Spain. As I am a Spanish citizen but not a resident, I am not sure whether I would be eligible.

If not, I will probably have to apply from Georgia. The problem is that there is no Thai Embassy in Georgia, and I understand that applications from Georgia fall under the jurisdiction of the Thai Embassy in Turkey.

My second question is about bank statements.

When I generate a statement from Wise, it only shows the current balance and transaction history. It does not clearly show the opening balance at the beginning of the statement period.

How did you prove that you maintained the required amount of funds during the full three-month period? Were Wise statements sufficient, or did you need additional documentation?

Thank you very much for any advice or experience you can share.
Answer summary
A Spanish citizen currently living in Georgia is seeking advice on applying for the Thai DTV visa. They are unsure if they can apply at the Thai Embassy in Spain without being a legal resident, as the embassy's website suggests this is a requirement. They also have questions about using bank statements from Wise to prove they have maintained the necessary funds for the visa.

My Spanish is not that good but translated is says:

"If you do not have legal residence in Spain or Andorra, you CANNOT apply for the visa at this consulate. If your nationality is not Spanish or Andorran, you must present your NIE or residence card in Spain or Andorra."

You Nationality is Spanish so you can apply in Spain.

Financial proof: a bank statement or a certificate of the status of a bank account with a deposit equal to or greater than 500,000 baht

As a Spanish citizen, you are fine. Of course you can apply in Spain to the Thai embassy there, that’s actually your best solution. The language is perhaps just confusing.
