What should DTV visa holders know about re-entering Thailand?

John *******

My understanding though is that immigration can’t cancel a visa. They can deny you entry, but the visa was issued by MoFA, so only can be canceled by them.

Can you apply for a Spanish tourist visa while holding a Thailand DTV visa?

John *******

this is as back in 2017, so not sure if that was an option then. Ended up going to Dubai instead. Just needed an Afghanistan embassy to process my visa, so was able to do it in Dubai.

Can you apply for a Spanish tourist visa while holding a Thailand DTV visa?

one of the requirements for applying for a Spanish visa in Bangkok is “7. Proof of residence in the consular district”. It doesn’t clarify what it means by “residence”. As many on here often say, a DTV is a glorified Thai tourist visa. Is that residence?
