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.

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.

It might. The London embassy has been prone to ask for more concrete evidence, since address on a bank statement doesn’t prove you are actually in the UK. For example, I have not been to the United States for 10 years, but my bank statement shows my US address. The UK embassy has often wanted to see boarding passes, etc., especially if you are someone who already lives in Thailand. You can try the bank statement first and prepare to supply boarding passes if needed or just supply both up front.

There have been a few examples where they were not accepted. Don’t recall anyone stating they were accepted, it also probably varies by embassy/consulate

Yes, people have received emails over the weekend.
