I submitted my application for METV (uk) yesterday for travel to Thailand December 1st. I was confused by “Document indicating current location…” section as is it stated “ e.g valid visa, receipts)/proofs) of payment of airline tickets or accommodation, etc.” I supplied a pdf credit card statement which shows my name, address recent purchases in my local area as well as flight purchases tallying with my inputs on the travel section.

Would it have been more appropriate to supply a utility statement or council tax statement? If so should I email them with said documentation attached or wait to see if they ask? I don’t want to confuse them and equally I don’t want any unnecessary hold ups.

Advice much appreciated as always; thanks.
Answer summary
The user has applied for a METV to Thailand and is unsure if their submitted document (a PDF of a credit card statement) adequately meets the 'Document indicating current location' requirement. They are considering whether to provide additional documents, like a utility or council tax statement, and whether to send this information proactively or wait for a request from the visa processing team. Comments suggest that various documents are acceptable, but users agree that it might be best to submit any additional documents if there's confusion.

I sent a PDF of a recent mobile bill keeping it separate from the bank statements.

It’s very unclear what they want and better to submit documents and let them get back to you if it’s incorrect and resend

Acceptable documents for out of UK visa requesting

Local utility bill showing your name and current address (such as electricity, gas, water, or a mobile phone bill).

Bank or credit card statement displaying your name and current address.

UK driving license showing your current address (accepted by many applicants, though a utility bill or bank statement is preferred if available).

Proof of permanent residence if you are nor Brittish

You can't amend an application once you've submitted it. If they want further information they'll come back and ask for it.
