Ive applied for tourist visa and now been asked to send my passport. I’ve sent my passport off to thai embassy in London via Royal Mail special delivery. inside The envelope is my passport, the confirmation page with barcode reference and a self addressed envelope with a Royal Mail first class sign for stamp. Is this ok for the return envelope? Thanks

Did you send them a postal order for the charge as well? I seem to remember the return postage had to be paid for in with the cost of the visa?

I paid for the stamp and stuck it on an envelope with my address. I used a stamp that I will need to sign for when they deliver it back to me
