Got a mate here on 30 day tourist. He needs to go back to UK for a week then wanted to come back on a tourist vsia 60 day.

Can he apply for that now in UK even whilst he is here? Is it likely to get approved if so?

Thanks in advance.

Answer summary

A user inquired about their friend's ability to apply for a 60-day tourist visa for Thailand while currently in the country on a 30-day tourist visa. Responses highlighted that applying for a visa from the UK after returning is advisable, as doing so while still in Thailand could lead to rejection. It was noted that the application process is typically quick once back in the UK, with approvals taking 2-3 business days if all documentation is correct.

Germany is the only embassy I know of that completely allows Germans to apply while not in Germany.

Apply as soon as he gets back to UK. Only takes a few days for approval, if all documents are correct

If he can show them a ticket from UK to Thailand he can probably apply. But one of the parts of the application is to show every stamp in the passport from the last 2 years. If they notice he's still in Thailand they could reject his application.

There's not much reason to apply early as London embassy usually issues visas within 2-3 business days.
