Hi. I'm currently getting prepared to submit an application for a non o retirement visa to the Thai embassy in London using the e-visa system. For proof of current residence I was planning to upload a copy of my annual council tax bill which is dated April of this year. Please can anyone who has recent experience confirm that this will be acceptable. I couldn't find any list of acceptable documents on the website. I know there is a reference to utility bills but given my payment period for these they wouldn't necessarily be that up to date. Thank you

When applying through the embassy in London with a UK passport, you may simply upload the ID page of your passport as proof of your current location, also your UK driver’s license.
