DTV Workcation DENIED despite providing requested documents considering reapplying from Indonesia. Any similar experiences?

I was recently denied a Thailand DTV (Workcation) visa and I'm trying to understand what may have gone wrong before reapplying. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

I'm a Spanish citizen and initially applied through the Royal Thai Embassy in Madrid.

For my original application I submitted:

* Passport

* Photo

* Bank evidence showing more than 500,000 THB equivalent

* Evidence of remote work/freelance activity

A few weeks later, the embassy requested additional documentation:

* Proof of education / academic qualifications

* Official bank statements for the last 3 months showing transactions and balance above 500,000 THB

* Professional history prior to the incorporation of my LLC

* Evidence of active business operations (client invoices, business profile, etc.)

* Income and tax certificates for the previous 3 months

* Documentation proving the legal incorporation of the LLC

I provided everything requested, including:

* University degrees (Sport Sciences and Nutrition)

* English CV

* Approximately 14-15 months of invoices

* Tax documentation

* Income records

* LLC registration documents

* LLC invoice(s)

* Bank statements

* Evidence of ongoing remote work activity

For context, I've been working remotely in the fitness industry since April 2025. I provide online fitness coaching services through a long-term relationship with an international company.

My income has been consistent for over a year.

My LLC was incorporated in February 2026, but my professional activity existed long before that. The LLC was created to better structure and manage international payments and business operations.

After approximately 7 weeks of processing, my application was denied.

The only explanation I received was:

"After evaluation, it has been determined that the application does not meet all internal criteria required for visa approval."

The embassy stated they do not provide detailed reasons for denials.

Since then, I've completely reorganized my documentation and prepared a much more detailed portfolio explaining:

* My professional history

* Timeline of activity since April 2025

* Academic qualifications

* Transition from freelancer to LLC structure

* Source of income

* Tax compliance

* Remote work activities

* Business continuity before and after LLC incorporation

I'm now considering reapplying through Indonesia. Or which embassy would you recommend me? I need the visa to be processed as soon as possible

Has anyone experienced a DTV rejection from one embassy and later been approved by another embassy or consulate?

Do you think the LLC being relatively new could have been a concern, despite having over a year of prior professional activity and invoicing?

Any experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated.
