Has anyone ever sent a UK passport from abroad back to the Thai Embassy in London for a postal application for a 1 year muti Non Imm O?
Just wondering how long things took, did they accept bank statements printed from online banking etc?
I've just emailed and waiting for a reply from them too.

TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses the experience of sending a UK passport to the Thai Embassy in London for a postal application for a 1-year Multi Non Imm O visa. Several users shared their experiences, with one noting it took about a week for the application to be processed. They confirmed that printed online banking statements are accepted for proof of funds. The post highlights the importance of providing complete information when asking for advice to avoid confusion.
As this is a nice example of leaving important information out of your question and it will lead to different answers and a lot of questions, I guess the OP has figured it out by him self. Please tell us the details if you have a question, as in this case: I have two passports and I want to send one of them to England to apply for a new visa. This page should not be used as a quiz page to find enough information to give an advice.
Just incase anyone is interested before admin close comments. You can apply from abroad via post and require the usual documents for a Non Imm O based on marriage. They will accept printed online banking statements for proof of funds (website shows 3 months worth) and the turn around has been noted to be pretty fast. There we go, all questions from the OP answered.
Okay, I have entered Thailand on my passport (1) which I will exit with. I'll arrive in Saudi Arabia on passport (2) making passport (1) redundant. I'll send passport (1) for a Thai visa and get it sent back to Saudi Arabia. I'll exit Saudi Arabia on passport (2) and fly to Thailand and enter with Passport (1) containing the new visa....pretty simple. I neglected to mention any of this as it's all pretty much irrelevant to my question and all very confusing for the purpose of getting the info I'm looking for.
Perhaps I should have, it would have saved a lot of misconception and speculation on everyones, including your behalf. However it's still irrelevant to the OP. Had I wanted an O-A I'd have said so. Had I wanted to send the passport from Thailand id have also said so. Perhaps not jumping to conclusions and focusing on the questions asked in the original post is also a suggestion. Apart from Ryan who's sent me an inbox (being a friend of mine) everything else has been a waste of time. Luckily Ryan managed to focus on the OP rather than speculate and I got all answers I require.
If you want to send from Thailand, how will you explain the lack of exit stamp, and how will you explain to an immigration checkpoint how you got a visa in England when you were in Thailand.
