TLDR : Answer Summary
Getting a NON-O visa from London is relatively straightforward and typically takes 2-5 working days. Required paperwork includes a copy of your marriage certificate, your wife's ID card, and the blue house book info page if applying based on marriage. For applicants over 50, no additional documentation from Thailand is necessary.

My friend did it last week and it took 5 working days. If you're not sure ask on here or PM me. I've done 3 in 3 years due to circumstances beyond my control.

Its all online through the Evisa system. No paperwork required. Partner as being married?

He says his partner, in these ridiculous woke days you don't say wife or husband, you refer to your other half as your partner. Partner does not mean you are married. You can have a business partner, but you probably wouldn't be married to them. Ridiculous world we live in these days, full of woke bullshit.

Easy to get in the UK. Usually issued within 2-3 days. If you're getting it based on marriage then take a copy of the front/back of your marriage cert, wife's ID card and blue house book info page. Nothing needed from Thailand to apply based on being 50 or over.
