Do I need to be in Sweden to apply for a DTV visa if I'm currently in Spain?

So you're saying when you went to the eVisa website logged in, and selected the country your passport is from you selected Sweden and then when you selected your your CURRENT LOCATION you selected Sweden even though you're currently in Spain? <- Do you see anything wrong with this picture? 😮

Had you selected you were IN Spain it would have routed the eVisa requirement thru the thai consulate in Madrid, as you can see from this screen grab NOT the one in Stolkholm.

The application will either go thru, or it won't 😕 IF they reject it (a possibility) you lose the application fee 🙁

Seeing as you already submitted the application and paid, there's not much you can do about it now.

Sincerely good luck with it, report back and let us know if you get the DTV approved

It depends. When submitting the application, they ask you where are you currently located, and you choose. Did you choose Sweden? In theory, if you were at Sweden at that time... it should be OK. But if you were already in Spain, and you're telling it yourself, your application MIGHT be rejected, due to not being on a place under their jurisdiction. Personally, I'd think they'll be more permissive if it's about UE citizens within UE countries, but that's just my opinion.

If you’re currently in Spain then applying Sweden wouldn’t have been plausible unless they expressively told you it’s ok. If that becomes a point of contention reply back you were in Sweden at the time you lodged the application and flew to Spain the next day for holiday.
