Can technophobes apply for a tourist visa in person at the Thai embassy in London?
? if you are an old technophobe like me can you go in person to the thai embassy in london and get tourist visa done like in the days gone by??
Answer summary
No, you cannot apply for a Thai tourist visa in person at the embassy in London. The process has shifted entirely online through the e-visa system, and non-Thais are not permitted past the embassy gates. Several comments highlight the challenges with the online process, suggesting applicants use visa agents for assistance.

Don't you have any relatives or friends who can help? If not, offer someone the money it would cost you in time and money to go to the London Thai Embassy to help you.

It's no longer an option. All visa matters are handled online through the e-visa system. They don't even let non-Thais past the front gate of the embassies anymore.

someone posted in this group that they where asked to attend an interview in London for tourist visa applicationBrandon ************
Johnooo22 if you're summoned to the embassy then yes you can go there. But you can't just go there on your own. Visa interviews are initiated by the embassy when they want to verify that you're in the country.

Heather Lough we loved to go to Hull or Liverpool, an enjoyable day out and the staff were wonderful, it was done there and then and we came out with our visa, never a problem. We hate having to do everything on line.
