I just got my DTV eVISA approved and sent to my email (PDF). Valid from 17/05/2025 to 16/05/2030!!!

Do I still need to go to the embassy where it got approved to get a sticker on my passport? Any advice on next steps is more than welcomed!!

Process:

1. Applied 29th apr 2025

2. Docs check 30th apr 2025

3. Additional proof requested 2nd may 2025

4. Pending approval 13th may 2025

5. Approved 17th may 2025

Less than 20 days.
Answer summary
Congratulations on your DTV eVisa approval! You do not need to go to the embassy to get a sticker for your passport. The PDF you received via email serves as your visa, so simply print it out and present it along with your passport upon arrival in Thailand. Ensure you fulfill the required TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) before traveling. When you enter Thailand, show your printed DTV visa to the immigration officer, where a stamp will be placed in your passport. Good luck on your travels!

Thank You for your helpful assistance to questions about getting the DTV visa.

"Additional Doc Check List for DTV Approval Spanish Embassy

Following a post where I shared that my DTV application got approved yesterday and in order to respond to all those who asked me what additional documents the embassy asked me for before approval, see the summary of requirements below:

Requested Documents:

1. Biodata page of your passport

2. Official bank statement issued directly by your bank (via official website or physical branch).

Must include: your full name as account holder, transaction history, and most updated balance.

Note Screenshots are not accepted.

3. Proof of current location in Spain. Examples include: electricity bill, municipal registration certificate (padrón), or rental agreement under your name.

4. Proof of last 3 self-employment payments (autónomo). Official receipts or confirmations of your last three freelance/self-employed tax or social security contributions.

5. Concise overview of your professional activities in Thailand. A short explanation of my business or professional engagements during my stay in Thailand.

Include how you will generate income while residing there.

6. Concrete evidence of your job. Documents that demonstrate and verify your professional status (portfolio, client list, contracts, content, etc.)."

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

For people asking to use an agent? I did mine in Sydney Australia with no agent and I was approved in 5 days.

It's the recommended path I would take as well, no agent!

I would not use any agent. Why you need an agent? You just need to upload few docs thru the eVisa website of the embassy of your choice

Thanks Jose. I need the DTV so badly, but not sure which agent I should trust. All ask for upfront pay. I got screwed by an agent already and not sure who to trust for the DTV. Any advice?

Just print out your email approval and show with your passport when you enter Thailand and you will receive the DTV Stamp in your passport, just check the expiry date to ensure it’s correct after you receive the stamp. Enjoy 🤩

Anonymous participant 778 that’s right. I thought the immigration officer was going to place that cool sticker on my passport, but in the end it was just the usual stamp with hand written DTV and 180 days on it. Still I am glad I got the DTV visa approved 🙂
