You can only get a 90 day at the moment all embassies are the same and they will only allow you to get the visa once you hsve COE approved i just did it. They checked snd keot paperwork for visa when i submitted COE application.

When that was approved i went and paid for visa and took twenty minutes to issue

that’s great news. Thank you. Do you use visa agent or do it yourself? Do we have to submit the same documents that we did with the Thai Embassy in London? Thanks.

You might need to try a different email address. When I used my hotmail, it gave me only one option for my non B (the wrong one of course!)... when I tried with gmail, it gave me the full list of options!

Are you using an Apple phone?

Their e visa system is not compatible, try another device with windows.

Do not book ASQ.

You should book on a repat flight with the London embassy, then you book ASQ followed by visa app.

When apply for visa you can apply for COE at the same time as the ASQ info and flight details are added on to the COE and cannot be altered.

You will send any hard copies they require with your passport such as insurance.

Once you have booked your seat on repat flight the embassy will assist you more.

The flights for September will be available sometime this month.
