Can you apply for a Spanish tourist visa while holding a Thailand DTV visa?
Can I apply for Spanish tourists visa while on Thailand DTV visa?
Answer summary
Yes, you can apply for a Spanish tourist visa while on a Thailand DTV visa. The approval of the Schengen visa depends on your nationality rather than your visa status in Thailand. However, some applicants may need to provide proof of residence in Thailand, like holding a Non-Immigrant visa, especially if applying from certain countries.

Huh? You can apply for a Spanish tourist visa whether or not you’re have a DTV, what does that have to do with another country’s visa! 👀

@Sara ********
he's asking whether the Spanish Consulate in Thailand will take only take visa applications from those with residency in Thailand, as it isn't clear if DTV would be considered enough to be considered a resident for that consulate. Legitimate question. It isn't unusual for consulates for countries to only take visa applications from residents of the consular area.

They might not issue visas to Nigerians unless you hold a Non Immigrant visa in Thailand to show you have residence in the area served by the consulate. Check with them

Schengen Tourist visa application depends on your passport and not on another tourist visa.

Of course. Spain could care less what you do as a tourist in Thailand. And vice versa

this is as back in 2017, so not sure if that was an option then. Ended up going to Dubai instead. Just needed an Afghanistan embassy to process my visa, so was able to do it in Dubai.Sara *********

visa exempt.She did write to the French embassy and explain that she would not be back in her home country before flying to Europe. They allowed her to proceed with TLS in Bangkok and she got the multi entry Schengen visa authorized within a couple of days

- What visa was your partner on while in Thailand? I am not sure how this is a different issue though. The original poster was asking if they can apply for a Spanish (Schengen Visa) while in Thailand on a DTV visa. You said yes, but I think it might be a no.Todd *********
@John ******
the DTV is indeed nothing more than a glorified tourist visa. And I don’t think it would qualify as ‘residence’ per se. But maybe! But that is a different issue. You are asking whether or not a third party national can apply for Schengen visa from within Thailand, which is a good question. My partner did so last year and received her Schengen visa from France. But I understand it can be an issue.

one of the requirements for applying for a Spanish visa in Bangkok is “7. Proof of residence in the consular district”. It doesn’t clarify what it means by “residence”. As many on here often say, a DTV is a glorified Thai tourist visa. Is that residence?John *******

- for example, when I was in Thailand, visa exempt, I was not able to apply for an India tourist visa.Activity
