Summary so far

Several individuals have shared their experiences regarding the processing of Thai visa applications at the London embassy. Many users report waiting for their applications submitted in late August and early September 2026, with statuses still showing as 'processing.' Some have received requests for additional documentation, including letters confirming no intention to work in Thailand and updated bank statements. Concerns about delays in processing times, possibly linked to new regulations, have been raised.

Applied 27th Aug; yesterday got a request for letters confirming that I won’t work in Thailand and that I’ll stay in UK until decision is made.

Hope it won’t be long to get to pending approval / approved statuses, but it seems like London processing may have slowed following the new rules.

- what documents are they asking for? I am waiting as well but only a few days since I sent it in. I’m worried as we go in 3 weeks :(

, a new bank statement in the last 15 days with closing balance of over £12,000. A formal letter saying I won’t take up employment that’s not remote in Thailand and a letter to say I understand I must not leave the UK until the visa has been approved.
