How easy is it to apply for a 90-day visa from the Thai embassy in the UK?

The online e-visa application is reasonably straightforward compared to other Thai websites and apps. You need to be aware though that, depending on the application type, you may need to merge some documents. For example, a Non O based on marriage requires three months bank statements yet that section of the site only allows one upload. You need to merge three pages into one and then upload. There are quite a online sources that will do that - very easily and free - google it. Beware that some of them allude to being free but try to charge you on the last step. The other sections also only allow one upload - I wasn't sure if they would accept only my marriage certificate so merged the certificate + front and rear pages of my KR2.

You will be lucky to get back in a second time because of the closeness of them would better going for a 6 month visa £150

Use an agent

You can pair your phone to a laptop and transfer photos onto the website in the correct format /size

I did mine through Scott’s visa did the whole thing start to finish

Is it really worth all the effort, uncertainty, stress, possible rejection on arrival, expenses, etc, when the Thai Government are already 'crowing' about the 30,000 or so visitors that they have refused entry to, this year ?

It appears straight forward however for some reason and Three attempts later mine was approved… each time stating the same 4 parts where wrong, I checked and double checked and still couldn’t understand exactly what they were wanting… I tried to telephone to speak but couldn’t get through ….. there was a problem with my photo as they repeatedly asked for a white background which it was … they’d send me a template of how my photo should be yet again I couldn’t see any issues with mine as it appeared as there template was….

After he third attempt I was granted my visa 2 days before flying.

They state they want pdf paperwork so I send pdf then they say they want screenshots ….

It’s not as simple as it appears and I’m sure they make it more difficult at the embassy …

I sent the same photo 3 times and they only accepted it on the final time yet it was the same ?

Make sure you’ve got everything at hand and give your self plenty of time… I started my process 6 weeks before travelling and received it 2 days before my flight left

What’s a 90 visa?

Very easy if you're prepared. Make sure to use a PC or laptop, not a tablet or phone.

Nightmare on a phone you need a computer !

It’s easy. The most difficult thing is compressing the bank statements into an acceptable file size.

Jump on the website & look

Have you been before ?

The hardest part was uploading proof that I had £19k in my uk account and it had been there for the past 3 months. The bank uses software not recognised by the Thai Visa app which means you must create a .jpeg of your bank statement. I used photoshop to add the information to one big jpeg and uploaded that. You cannot upload more than one file either. Anyway, it worked, I got the non resident visa O 3 days later.

An interesting question. I want about 80 days mid September to early December then another 80 days late December to March.

I'm wondering whether to go for 2 90 day visas or 1 METV

The METV would require me to make a regional visit to somewhere like Vietnam on both occasions to keep within the 60 day per visit limit.

Not so easy on a phone. Better on a pc or tablet.

apply for 90 different visa? You will take until Christmas 2026

depends how smart you are 😉

Just got 3 tourist visa’s for our 41 day trip in July, just in case they change to 30 days on arrival before we get there, piece of cake, £30 each.

Just get your 60 day stamp and then go get a 30 day extension when your here

There still giving out 60 day stamps

Depends on what electrical device you plan to use for the application.

Just be prepared

Go to website and there is a tutorial

Get everything downloaded so when you apply you won’t time out

Very easy, but too easy you might make a mistake. So check and double check info. I once put in wrong expiry date in passport cancelled my application didn't tell me for a week.
