ORIGINAL POSTER
DTV Visa Madrid consulate on Mexican passport as a remote worker.

Applied on August 4, three days later I got an email from the consulate asking me for a letter in which I explained how intended to earn money while I’m in Thailand, they also asked for a document called “Vida laboral” (social security enrolment confirmation and history of contributions).

I replied immediately and they got back to me a couple of hours after that asking me for tickets from Europe to Thailand. The consulate approved my visa in Friday evening, took 5 working days and entered chiang mai today, no questions asked at immigration.
