the DTV is indeed nothing more than a glorified tourist visa. And I don’t think it would qualify as ‘residence’ per se. But maybe!

But that is a different issue. You are asking whether or not a third party national can apply for Schengen visa from within Thailand, which is a good question. My partner did so last year and received her Schengen visa from France. But I understand it can be an issue.

agree. Superb visa. Especially SRRV ‘courtesy’. Annually renewable for $10 fee

@Doug ******

high qualifying income- yes

Of course. Spain could care less what you do as a tourist in Thailand. And vice versa

@Schrotti *********

LTR is by far the best visa ever offered in Thailand or SE Asia
