ORIGINAL POSTERI'm going to Thailand for about 1 year what documents would I need from the London embassy
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post lacks specific details about the traveler's purpose for staying in Thailand and the type of visa they intend to apply for, which are crucial for determining the necessary documents from the Thai embassy. The comments include suggestions to contact the embassy directly for accurate information, other users' experiences, and some humor regarding the situation.

No1 document - Insurance
A lot of Brits 'risk' their insurance as 'It'll never happen to me' attitude
I would have had to sell everything I'd worked for without insurance as my hospital care and repatriation was way over £120,000
Pay the premium and have peace of mind

can you please make a point my friend how did you know I was lazy???Michael *********
@John ********
Because you can't be arsed to do things yourself and expect others to do it for you. That clear enough?Or perhaps you're just thoughtless as well and don't consider the burden you put on others? Sounds likely.

Serious answer is you can go to Thailand if you have a valid reason ! Not holiday. All other visas are open for you to apply. Once in Thailand i would advise you to use a agency (grace) she can get you 1 year visas

John, I am waiting to travel to Thailand also. It's no use thinking of travelling in the near future. Thailand is way behind in tackling covid19. I estimate two years before unrestricted travel is possible to Thailand. You will need Visa's, a ninety day visa to go out there on then after 60 days go to thai immigration and apply for an extension for a year. You'll need money in a thai bank, £20,000, or approximately £1650 per month going into your thai bank account. The best and only place to ask is the thai embassy. Give them a call.

"...would I need from the London embassy?": It's called the Thai consulate in London.

no it’s not. It’s the Royal Thai Embassy, London. There were consulates dotted around the country but I think most are closed now. Hank ************
@Stuart ********
No, all embassies have a consular department therefore called consulates.Stuart *********
@Hank ***********
strange logic. The Thai embassy in London is the Thai embassy. The fact that it has different departments or even different floors seems irrelevant. Im sure the sign on the door says embassy. Nick *******
@Stuart ********
yes ur correct. I used to drive up Queens Gate everyday & it is the Royal Thai Embassy. But it does also have a Consular section. 😊Hank ************

Why only 1 year 🙄
Martin *******
If you're over 50 you can get a tourist visa, then once in Thailand get a 90 days Non-O visa based on age over 50, then a visa extension for 1 year. Alternatively you can get a Non-OA visa for 1 year from your embassy, requirements are different though.

Sean Paul Scarbrough you mean the one you can get within Thailand? It's called Non-O based on age over 50, valid 90 days and can be extended multiple times for 1 year at a time.

You get a Visa from the Thai Embassy / Consulate. These Days mostly done online initially. Then there are things like Covid test or Vaccination Records, apply for a Certificate of Entry - COE. There may still be a 7 to 10 day or longer Quarantine in a authorized hotel.

You need nothing much from the British Embassy - except a passport from what ever division of the British Government issues them.

It ISN'T from the UK at all! Don't spread fake news! It's called the 'UK variant' because that's where it was first isolated, but so many badly educated Thais think the UK is spreading the virus! 😡
Jedsada ***********
@Michael ********
I know but i never said it's came from the UK why you have to angry I just telling Thailand situation now there's nothing to do with the fake news
My yesterday comments are gone 😓.
If i mistaking or anything that's make you uncomfortably so ok am sorry. PEACE ☺️

@Michael ********
getting rather used to dirty looks and ppl moving out of my way as if I'm the virus. In a way its funny. I used to think thais were smart ppl. Now I just see sheepMichael *********
@Kevin *******
I have had the same. I have had to use the MRT a lot recently and I see many Thais moving their seats when I sit next to them.Two weeks ago there were 2 empty seats next to me and 4 schoolkids got on,2 girls and 2 boys about 14 or 15. One boy pointed to the seats and said to the girls 'sit down; and one airhead girl said 'farang na glua' (scared of farang or farang scary).
WTF? I didn't bother saying anything because you can't can't fight total ignorance with logical reasoning here. So I spread myself out! :-D

Sorry for those people they might scare covid 19 too much most of thai family are running out of Money and obviously Thai hospital doesn't heal for free so they have a right to awareIf my comments make you feel uncomfortably so i am apologize 🙏

oh and on the FERANG tax topic. My wife gets covid insurance 500 baht for 1 year. ME 4,500 BAHT 3 MONTHS. I'm no mathematical expert but this is just wrong. 🙏Jedsada ***********
@Kevin *******
Oh thx for the info. It's like i said most of Thai family they're running out of money so they are struggling to survive.Kevin ********
@Jedsada **********
my father died in January from "covid",and I had to rush here(before everywhere was "LOCKED DOWN AGAIN"to be with wife for our BABY who is due today. But no sign of labour yet. You don't have to apologise. I feel sorry for those who follow tv(NEWS ETC, and believe everything.) I LOVE THE THAI CULTURE, BUT IF I WASN'T MARRIED AND ABOUT TO BE A FATHER I DON'T THINK I'D CONE HERE ON HOLIDAY, AND THE STORIES I HERE ABOUT WESTERNERS HAVING TO PAY 500BAHT TO ENTER PUKET(BUT THAI ARE FREE), not helping tourism. I could say a lot lot more, but not on here. FERANG TAX HAS INCREASED 10 FOLD SINCE LAST MARCH WHEN I WAS HERE LAST. I HAVE BEEN HERE NOW SINCE JANUARY, AND DON'T REALLY HAVE THE SAME RESPECT FOR THAI PEOPLE AS I HAD. THIS IS JUST HOW I FEEL. BLESS YOU🙏AJ ****
