You apply to the Country that you are presently in, this being Spain. You should remain in Spain until your DTV is granted because you may be invited for interview at a Spanish Embassy/Consulate.
You appear to be confused. You’re talking about two different things. One being a health declaration form and the other being possession of a Yellow Book containing a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate. Have you actually flown via Yellow Fever endemic countries to Thailand?
Checking for possession of a Yellow Fever Certificate is absolutely random in my experience. Unless you are suggesting Thai immigration have online access to various National Health Service and private vaccination clinic records? Their criteria is; ‘arrived from or having transited for a period of 12 hours or longer a Yellow Fever endemic country’.
TM.8 is for Re-Entry Permit. You refer to; T.8 Online Health Declaration Form for Yellow Fever. I once arrived at Suvarnabhumi from São Paulo (obviously indirect flight). I had my Yellow Book in my hand but wasn’t asked. Guy stood next to me from Buenos Aires told me he had to show his. He was of European appearance also. I’m guessing checks might be random?
Not regards basics. Amount of money/income for extensions is standard (for example). Proof of physical presence in any country should be standardised. There is no excuse for cancellation/rejection without stating the reason.
That is true. However, Vicki mentioned this and it wasn’t a problem (in her case). Proves it’s down to the individual staff member who processes your application whether it goes through smoothly (or not at all).
There should, of course, be uniformity because they are all Thai Embassies/Consulates wherever they are. I sincerely hope for the sake of applicants that they don’t do the nasty trick of accepting applications then cancelling/rejecting without stating reason.
Anonymous participant 371 Until recently I hadn’t been outside of Thailand for six years. Non-O Retirement plus extensions is the way to go if you don’t want to travel internationally.
