Having done lots of reading (both online and in this group), prepared all my documents, got my finances in order, then taken a deep breath... I began my DTV application (which will be via the London Embassy).

Everything was going ok until I hit the final "supporting documents" page - where the file upload boxes only allow you to upload one file (i.e. no CTRL-click for multiple files, no option to upload a second file - just replace the first file).

I'd already combined my bank statements into a single PDF and my utility bills for Proof Of Location too, but then there's other stuff like my work invoices / contracts / remote authorisation letter... do these really all need to go into just a single (confusing, perhaps) file?

Or is there another screen later where you can upload other docs too?

Thanks!

Answer summary

When applying for a DTV visa through the London Embassy, you must upload all required supporting documents in a single PDF file due to system limitations on file uploads. Users recommend combining various documents such as bank statements, utility bills, work invoices, and contracts into one file, adhering to the 3 MB maximum size. After submission, you should receive an email detailing any additional documents that may be required.

I used canva and added the docs to each page then saved the file. That way you can upload just one file with all the information

I ended up doing something similar thanks... I used Adobe's MergePDF, but went back in an Incognito browser each time to get the "first time freebie" multiple times!

My parents both just applied through london embassy. You will get an email in a few days after submitting the application which will list what documents they need you to submit. You will do this through your thai embassy account. The email will tell you a step by step instruction at the bottom to upload the documents they need. After you upload you should get an email within a few days. It may ask for more documents or will tell you that the visa has been approved or denied. My parents both had to upload many documents but it varies depending on person.

At the bottom just upload the document they ask for. You will later get an email for all the documents they need.

Aiste Bocijeva Ah ok, thanks. It just seemed weird that I’ve got all the docs ready that I think they’ll want, but there wasn’t an easy way to provide them upfront.

Was just trying to avoid any unnecessary back’n’forth, to make it easier for both sides. 🙏🏻

You can upload everything they want and there will likely still be some back and forth, especially London.

Yup. One file, 3 MB max.

You can add a cover letter explaining what each page is if you think it's confusing. I did that with bank info when I'd transferred funds from 1 bank to another within 3 months.
