Little bit of advice needed if anybody can help? This is my second year visiting Thailand, my girlfriend is after a visa to visit me in the UK and then we will both return to Thailand, can anybody recommend a good cheap agent or agency to help her with a visa around Nong bua lamphu or she can travel to Udon Thani or similar distance, thank you.

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on obtaining a visa for his girlfriend to visit him in the UK, and potentially return to Thailand together. Community feedback suggests using an agent may not be necessary, as much of the visa application process can be completed online. Important points include the need for her to travel for biometrics at a VFS office, likely in Bangkok, and the importance of ensuring all documentation meets the application requirements.

Need one in Bangkok. She will have to travel to the VFS office for biometrics. All the agent is doing is essentially checking the paperwork is in order. Personally, I would let your girlfriend find and select an agent herself.

The key thing to do is read and note every requirement then ensure that the documentation you upload addresses and references every requirement

It's all done online so best to start the application, seek help where required and only seek an agent as a last resort

Biometrics can only be done in person.

you can upload all of the documentation yourself then turn up for the biometrics to complete the application (or have VFS upload your documentation at that point at a cost)

Documents and biometrics are done at the same time before the visa is granted.
