B4 ppl comment yes I’ve searched for these answers in the group.

My question is for those who applied for the DTV from Spain but don’t hold a Spanish passport. I have a Spanish nomad visa and ID for Spain, tax records etc. but my passport is Australian.

My questions are;

1-The criminal record cleanrance I got was date early 2024, so I need to request a new one for 2025 for DTV Thailand?

2-Im freelance but the main company that I have a letter authorizing Iand stating I have permission to work remotely indefiniteley that letter was dated for the Spanish visa in 2024, do I need to get an updated one for 2025?

3-The contract I have with that client was made and dated 2022 which also says there is no end date for this contract. For Thai DTC would I need to get an updated contract dated and signed for 2025? Or would the original contract be suffice?

4-I imagine I need to get my Spanish digital nomad visa approval translated from Spanish to English to give in my Thai application, should I do that through the Australian embassy, or any other easier options that would be suffice?

5-Also I imagine I need to translate my Spanish tax document and receipt from Spanish to English, once again any recommendations who to go through?

6- Do any documents need to be sworn translated by someone if so who in Spain? Or should I do that through the Australian embassy.

7-Anyone have any opinion on whether it would be better putting my application through Thai Embassy Madrid or Thailand Consulate Barcelona? ( I live in Barcelona) but which ever has more approval rate and speedy approval would be best.

8-I saw somewhere an intent letter needs to be written by me, what should I include in this letter?

9- Apart from bank statements, invoices, e-visa, my clients company good standing cert, my portfolio of experience in my industry, my CV, Full passport photos, NIE/TIE, is there anything else I’m forgetting?

10-Do I need to get private health insurance and if so does that need to be done before my application and included in it? If so any insurance recommendations?

11- Do I need to book a flight before I put my application in?

12- Do I need to book accomodation and include that in my application? If so what is the minimum length of accom booking they like to see?

13- Lastly I’ll be bringing my cat with me, she will have her passport, rabies vax and all other vax and paperwork up to date, do I need to mention she will be coming with me in the application?

Thank you for reading this and any advice assistance you can give. 🙏

You literally asked 13 questions in your post. Clearly you didn’t search for anything and want your hand held. Hire an agent then. Sounds like you can’t even apply though

Do you have a Spanish National ID number or a residence card? You can't apply without one or the other.

Every document must be up to date, not years old. Anything that does not relate to your application, like your cat, don't mention them. If you have actually searched past posts in the group most of your other questions have already been answered, and from people actually applying in Spain.
