What is the procedure for submitting documents for a Thai O-A visa application online and do I need to wait for confirmation before sending my passport to the embassy?
Hi All, I am applying for a 1 year Thai O-A visa online tomorrow and my question is: Do I attach copies of the notarised supporting documentation to the online application or send them into the Thai Embassy along with the passport.? Also once I have submitted the online application should I wait for a confirmation email from the Embassy before posting my passport, or post the passport to the Embassy regardless of any email from the Embassy? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Answer summary
When applying for a 1-year Thai O-A visa online, it's advisable to upload un-notarized original documents during the application process. After submitting your application, you should receive an immediate email confirmation indicating which documents must be submitted in person or by post. If you're mailing your passport, it's generally best to wait for this confirmation, as it might specify additional requirements. However, based on experiences shared by others, if you are submitting original documents in person to the embassy, notarisation may not be necessary. It's essential to check the specific requirements with the embassy directly to avoid any issues.

Upload original, un-notorized documents during the online application process. Once submitted, you will be advised immediately by email and by checking online status, which documents are required to be taken in person or sent by post. In general, it is much better to complete the process by post, as far fewer documents are required to be produced and you can save yourself two trips to the Embassy.

Scan and download the original documents they don’t have to be notarised.
Then take the originals to the embassy. They still don’t have to be notarised.

if you applied last year for the Non Immigrant O-A visa check the valid until or enter before date on the visa. If you are still before this date you still get 1 year of stay on entry in Thailand. Just as extra info: There are no Royal Thai Police Immigration bureau officer working at Thai Embassies of Consulates which are part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

OPThanks Michael, but I remember when I applied at the London Embassy last year (before the online process), and took all the originals in person to the Embassy, the immigration officer refused to accept the original medical document and demanded that copy of it be notarised. This was the original medical form stamped by the doctor. So it seems to be that they make it up as they go along, and to have notarised copies of all documents just in case.
