Is there any advantage to getting a Single Entry Tourist Visa (UK) if I plan to stay in Thailand for 3-5 months?

Would it help in any way with a visa run (by air) after the initial 60+30 days expire?

Or would it be a waste of money, and I'd be better off just arriving without a visa, using the free 60-day entry + 30-day extension, then doing a visa run and hoping to get another 60 days?

Thanks!!

For those who are london based , how long did you have the 500K equivalent too in your account ? Also are providing bank statements mandatory? I have had a fluctuation of amounts in my account, Not sure when to apply!

Thanks for the add apart from all necessary documentation visa letter of invitation passport is there anything else needed for my future wife to travel here to uk

Good morning everyone i plan to bring my partner from thailand to england for a holiday nect year

Whats the best option for applying for a visitor visa, i believe my partner has to make the application?

Also in my letter of invitation what needs to be included and are there other requirements needed to assist in the application ? Tia

Apologies if this is a stupid question but UK tourists don't need a visa for a 27 day holiday do we? Or do we need to get a visa on arrival?

Hi All,

I've just logged on to apply for a new e Visa Non O based on being a parent of a Thai child and I can only apply for a single entry.

Is this right? Or is it a glitch in the system?

I was using the UK e-visa.

Hello all, does anyone have info on thai nationals coming to live and work in the uk zny advice would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I’m sorry if this has already been asked already but I couldn’t find the answer I was looking for! For the 60 day tourist visa how do I go about applying for this when I am from the UK? I am travelling back home so do I need to go to the Thai embassy in the UK or can I just apply online? Will I also require proof of onwards travel? Thank you so much in advance!

Has anyone brought their thai partner to uk recently?I see only pcr-rt negative test and locator form completed required to fly.has anyone experienced this?

Hey group!

I’m applying for the 6 month ME tourist visa from my home country in January, and could use some guidance from someone whose done this before. For some background, I have a fresh passport, haven’t been to Thailand since 2015, will have the bank statement needed. So...

- did you get a feel for what the employment letter needs to state? And why they want it

- were you questioned about your employment at all? E.g. “will this company still be employing you while you’re in Thailand/will your job be waiting when you get back?”

- Based on your experience do you have a feel for which would be best - getting a letter of employment from my retail job stating that they’ll employ me again when I’m back, or registering myself as a sole trader travel writer so that I’m self employed and can provide myself a letter but no self assessment?

I’d appreciate any guidance, but if what you’re writing is speculation/just something you’ve heard please make that clear, as theres lots of inaccurate info already out there and I’m really looking for reliable, first hand experiences ideally! ☺️ Thank you! Xo
