Hey!

I’m applying for my DTV next week.

I live and work in Spain but will be applying from the London uk embassy.

My spanish bank can’t translate my statement to English.

Also when filling it in shall I put my Spanish address or my UK home address?

Any advice or help please? 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is applying for a Thai DTV visa while living in Spain and seeking guidance on translating bank statements and which address to use on the application. Suggestions for translating documents include using translation services like Deepl or Google Translate. Commenters advise that the applicant should indicate their Spanish address as their permanent address, and mention adding their UK address in a subsequent section. There are concerns raised about the need for UK documentation during the visa process, with suggestions that applying directly from Spain might be more suitable.

They will require proof you are and live in UK so maybe better to apply in Spain?

I will be in the UK when I apply for it.

What UK document is acceptable to present? 😇

I used google translate to translate the whole document

Just upload the entire file

Permanent address is your Spanish address. There should be another option directly after or in the next page to add another address. That is where you’ll put you UK addresss

I just checked the application again

For home address, put the Spanish address

It’ll ask:

Is your permanent address same as your current address?

Say no and you can put in the UK address
