TLDR : Answer Summary
The visa processing time for a 60-day tourist visa applied from the UK generally takes between 2 to 3 business days when using the online e-visa application through the Royal Thai Embassy in London. It is recommended to submit the visa application along with a booked flight to avoid complications. Recent experiences indicate that the application process is efficient, and applicants have received approvals within a week.
maybe you can help me mate do you know what they want me to upload when they ask for an invitation from a Thai national for the 60 day tourist visa I'm a bit confused on that
I've personally been through the process. The Royal Thai Embassy team are absolutely amazing. I filled in my application on their online portal. I applied for a Non-O and married to a Thai with daughter. This was time frame.
Sunday: scanned the documents needed in JPEG format. My UK Passport, 2 passport photos, wife's Thai ID, 1 bank statement account showing over 10,000GBP. By scanning these before you start your application makes the process very easy.
I filled the application in Sunday afternoon, uploaded the documents needed above and made my payment 1,900THB. I double checked my application and sent.
Wednesday: my application was approved
Saturday: I received my Certificate of Entry. Via email.
Sunday: We booked our flights to BKK 'one way' Thai Airways.
The reason why you book the flights after is because a lot of people get turned down. Why I don't know there is no police check required when applying in London.
Been here in Thailand for 3 years. Best move I've made. The inflation that as hit the west. We have not felt here. Just so nice living in a country where we don't care about politicians or political views.
There's a lot of us nomads and expats that meet up in Peaky Blinders, Pattaya for lunch. Best restaurant in the area.
almost no one gets rejected for a tourist visa. You either qualify or you don't and you should know well in advance. Also things have changed a lot since the certificate of entry days.
