@John *******

I will be staying with family and it’s also written in a sponsorship letter. So obviously won’t be staying in a hotel 🏨

@Elías *******

its a multipele entry visa with a validity of 5 years. However you can open bank accounts on exemption stamps.

@Boris ********

that’s exactly what I’m referring to and might think will happen when they implement the E-visa system in other countries.

@Tod ********

they don’t have a consulate in Spain. Only and embassy, don’t know if that makes any difference haha

@Tod ********

when I applied for a tourist E-visa from Spain last year I actually had to submit my empadronamiento (adres registration) as proof of address. A visa stamp wouldn’t have been enough (I’m a EU citizen so wouldn’t have one anyways). If they want a similar type of document once they implement the E-visa system in neighboring countries I wouldn’t be surprised this will also be implemented like this there.

@Wannikea ********

for now it will be.

@James *******

8th October it will change to e-visa.

Yh that don’t really work if you have residency somewhere in Europe and you go to a country like Laos or Cambodia and have to prove residency there. For example my case I would have to fly all the way to Spain. Buy tickets and find accommodation there and then apply. Costly, better just walk in somewhere.
