ORIGINAL POSTER
60 Day single entry tourist visas Thai Embassy London (e-Visa) approved 5 days from submission.

No additional queries or docs requested. I uploaded a "Not applicable" page to those requests for info which were either beyond the norm or info which couldn't be provided (ie: 'Photo of your invitors ID' etc).

Proof of residency I sent Driving licence. Proof of funds I sent a bank statement with bank acc #'s deleted. Sent Inbound flight details but nothing for Outward, yet.

Good Luck.

So you didn't need to upload your outward ticket? Interesting. I only bought a cheap ticket as thought they wouldn't accept it. Good to know though guessing it may just be luck of the draw. We are over here now 😊

Amazing that Thailand accept that the visitor sets the norms and upload Not applicable to questions asked.

I wish it could be done every where you go.
