After the update on the London E visa application site, I've seen a report that the Embassy and consulates are specifically asking for the letter from your employer to be addressed to the embassy or consulate when applying for the METV. Somebody reported a successful E visa application but it was noted the letter wasn't specifically addressed to London

I found that the Liverpool consulate has updated it's requirement to reflect

5.    A letter from the applicant’s employer (in the UK) and addressed to the Royal Thai Consulate) stating length of service and expected return to work.  If you are self-employed your self-assessment form.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Recent updates from the London E visa application site indicate that the Embassy and consulates are now requiring that the employer’s letter be explicitly addressed to the Royal Thai Consulate as part of the METV application process. The Liverpool consulate has also updated its requirements to reflect that an employer's letter detailing the applicant's length of service and expected return to work is mandatory. Additionally, all visa classes, including SETV applications, now require proof of job status, income, and even pension details, following a recent update. This suggests a tightening of application rules aiming to eliminate loopholes.

The comments seem to be off on that topic, so not sure how else anyone might ask a question or post a follow up if not a new topic.

It is now mandatory to file proof of Job status, Income, pension etc etc for ALL visa classes using E visa application, even SETV applications. You simply cannot get around the requirements after last week's update.

Ross Wood you have to put attachments to every mandatory field. I don't know the exact amounts required. IMO, they are looking to see that you have an income as it asks for a previous months bank statements etc

So for a SETV it says Financial evidence e.g bank statements, proof of earnings, sponsorship letter. Is just bank statements enough and over what period of time and how much money do they need to see? Financial evidence is pretty vague.

Regular updated with closing of loop holes. I get more and more the feeling, London is the test case. When all loopholes closed, it is time to send to the rest of the world.
