Has anyone here tried applying for a UK visa in Bangkok while on DTV? Does anyone know if the UK Consulate allows it? Thank you!
Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to apply for a UK visa in Bangkok while holding a Digital Visa Traveler (DTV), as long as you are legally residing in Thailand. Applications can be submitted through VFS Global in Bangkok. However, 3rd country nationals may need to provide proof of residency, such as a long-term visa and Residence Certificate, so it's advisable to confirm this with VFS.

Good question. If you are a 3rd country national ie non-Thai you may have to prove "Residence" in Thailand ie long term visa & Residence Certificate. Best to double check with VFS.
