Hello everyone. I've just joined the group.
I've emailed a question to the Visa section of the Thai consulate in the UK but they merely copy pasted what I had already read and did not answer my question.
I'm sure this has been asked before so apologies.
I asked if I could apply for an O-A visa whilst still in the UK.
Also, do I have to have a Thai bank account or can I prove that I have the necessary funds in a UK bank.
Many thanks if anyone can help
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can apply for an O-A visa while you are still in the UK. You can provide proof of funds in a UK bank account that meets the financial requirements, so there is no need for a Thai bank account at this stage. Additional documentation required for the O-A visa includes a police background check, a medical certificate, and health insurance.
