Good evening everyone,
I see loads of posts saying I applied via X embassy.
Some quick questions:
1. London embassy is directing me to the thaievisa.go.th to apply and say they are no longer accepting hard applications. Has the process changed?
2. I assume that if I apply online it will be emailed to me? I don't need to visit the actual embassy unless they require a further interview?
3. I'm hoping to apply in January. However, I will only just reach the 500k. There is no mention of it being seasoned. However, I do see people saying there has been rejected if not there for 3 months. Is it still the case it needs to be seasoned?
Thank you in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
The visa application process at the Thai Embassy in London has shifted to an online-only system, as they no longer accept hard copy applications. Applicants apply via thaievisa.go.th, and unless otherwise instructed, visiting the embassy is unnecessary. Regarding the funds requirement, there is no seasoning requirement, meaning funds do not need to be in the account for a specified period before application. However, some experiences vary; while some applicants have reported being accepted without seasoned funds, it can still depend on the discretion of the reviewing official. It is advisable to provide thorough documentation during application to improve chances of approval.
