For the tourist visa from the U.K, do you need to send all relevant paperwork that has been uploaded onto the online portal down with the passport as a hard copy?

Or do you just need to send the passport?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a tourist visa to Thailand from the U.K., it is generally required to send only the passport, along with the payment confirmation that includes a barcode, and a prepaid return envelope. Some users recommend sending additional documentation just in case, such as copies of other relevant paperwork. It is also noted that the issuing of tourist visas by the Royal Thai Embassy in London may be subject to current travel regulations.

Is the RTE London issuing Tourist VISAs now? They told me in October they’re not issuing yet as they are currently not valid for entry to Thailand. Has this now changed?

Thanks. I was in the process of applying for OA VISA - this could save me a lot of cash. Much appreciated.

No mate. Just passport, payment confirmation with barcode and a prepaid return envelope 👍👍

@Jim *******
again thanks for the info,

I am going to be working abroad from late November till mid jan and wanted to get the visa done while I’m away. This makes it easier as I’ll leave my 2nd passport in the U.K. while I’m away and get the visa completed so I’m ready to get COE when arrive back in the U.K.
