Was the first email real? Did you download the visa? Why did you think the second email looked strange? What embassy?

@Karl *******

yes

Anonymous participant also check previous posts, as the LA consulate may request additional documents. If you have them prepared, can streamline the time. I believe they ask for tax returns

Anonymous participant Not sure I have heard of anyone being called in for an interview in the US. It is usually in countries that are small, in Southeast Asia. One concern I would have is how long the LA consulate takes. The embassies in Southeast Asia tend to be much quicker, however some have slowed down. The important point is you need to be in that country the entire time when applying, so have to think about being somewhere maybe as long as a month.

Anonymous participant Their are 4 embassies/consulates in the US. The county is divided up by these 4. You select the location that oversees that state where you are physically.

Anonymous participant I am not the decision maker, but many embassies require you to be a resident of that jurisdiction and I interpret the Thai Embassy in Madrid to be that way. You can try and reach out to them and ask them or take the chance and apply though

Not mandatory.

@Thomas ********

Just to highlight that the TDAC, literally stands for Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). So yes, there is an “arrival” card.

Do you also have residency in Spain?

I had same situation. I showed both.
