Let this be a warning to anyone who is curious: Do not apply for your DTV in Spain.
Just don't.
I'm a legal resident here who applied over a month ago and I still have not gotten a response. Now I have to leave Spain for a family emergency, and I'm basically begging the embassy to give me an update on the additional materials they requested. If you have the option, apply somewhere else, anywhere else. The stress alone makes me want to scream.
Just a side issue, Kasikorn bank yesterday would not accept the new King Charles £50 notes, they changed the older ones with the queens head on though.
Today was the first arrival with TDAC. I'm a NonB Visa holder and filled the TDAC 2 days ago. The App worked fluently, within 10min. I had the download with QR code. The immigration watched my Passport and Visa but surprisingly did not ask for TDAC. When I was asking why, she answered that all data are already in her computer. Fingerprint, picture, stamp in passport and within 30sec. I was through. In my opinion the TDAC is one of the best ideas Thailand ever had, as the immigration awaits you and your data are already approved. They don't ask any question, just say hello, stamp the passport and you are good to go.
