Am wondering how a UK passport holder who is in Thailand can apply for a visa to go to India, anyone ever done that before? Is it online application, how long does it take? Many thanks for your advice.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK passport holder in Thailand can apply for an Indian visa by going to the Indian Embassy in Bangkok. The application process may require a visit to the embassy and can take about 3 hours for processing. It's important to check with the embassy or VFS Global in Bangkok for specific visa types and application procedures.

Did it a few years ago for multiple business trips. Involved a trip to the Indian Embassy on Sukhumvit. Easy enough

Business visas not possible now unless you have residency here for at least 2 years.
