Hi

Advice please!!!! I’m from the UK and that’s where I’ll be applying from but I was going to ask, how strict are they at authorising the visa if you have the 500000 THB but you’ve only had it for like a month? Have people been approved?

I’m also going to teach English remotely but technically I will be earning my own money and have to set that all up?

Does anyone have any experience with this!!!

Thanks xx

Answer summary

The approval process for a Thai visa from the UK, particularly concerning the requirement of having 500,000 THB in the bank, appears to be relatively lenient based on user experiences. Many applicants have reported being approved even with recent deposits or without a long banking history. Comments strongly suggest that the London embassy is regarded positively, with users providing positive feedback about rapid approval times and minimal seasoning requirements for funds.

Search previous answers for specific embassy.

The London Thai Embassy has one of the best websites, so you should start there.

UK has approved with deposits 1 hour old before submission. It has no seasoning requirement.

I applied just over a month ago via the London Embassy. I uploaded my most recent bank statement (so a month old) showing the funds and they were fine with it.
