What is the current status of the visa application process for UK residents wanting to travel to Thailand?
Has anyone from UK completed or started their visa process for Thailand? All embassy's are closed and it seems all visa companies don't like to reply. 🤔
Answer summary
The conversation addresses the challenges faced by UK residents trying to apply for a visa to Thailand amidst embassy closures and COVID-19 precautions. While the Thai Embassy in London has been temporarily closed for cleaning (reopening soon), applicants can still process their visas online. Users share links to official websites, provide tips on navigating the application system, and discuss their experiences of receiving visas quickly through online submissions. Despite the challenges, many successfully obtained their travel visas and are currently quarantining upon arrival.

The London embassy was due to reopen after a week's deep cleaning yesterday. Visas were still being processed online, though were anticipated to be a touch slower.
Ash ********
OPcheers, do you know where I can find this application form for applying.

@Ash *******
on line

Sorry I've just seen this. Just go on the Royal Thai embassy London website. Everything's on there but it's sometimes a bit hard to navigate.
Lee *********
The London office is closed because it had a case of covid so they are all working from home. You can still apply for your visa as it's all done online.
Ash ********
OPwell they seem to be deep cleaning alot 🤣 The Hull and London branches have been closed since March as far as I understand??

@Ash *******
How the Hell somebody near Hull has abrumby as a second name

@Ash *******
Hull has been closed. The London embassy has been open throughout, other than Thai or British public holidays. There was an announcement about it closing for a deep clean a few days ago, but visa applications and certificate of entry applications would still be processed. Ash ********
OP@Stuart ********
ok thanks for your help. 
Darren *******
If the Thai embassy in London is closed it's because they're having a deep clean (pretty sure i saw someone post this notice a few days back). Think they reopen next week if that is the case as tomorrow and Friday are public holidays in Thailand.
