What is the process for obtaining a 60-day Tourist Visa for Thailand from the UK?
Has anyone recently had experience in obtaining a 60 day Tourist Visa 4 Thailand from UK.
The official Thai website requires loads of documentation which seems OTT.
Thanks in Advance 👍

Yes I got 60 day tourist visa from UK about 75 days ago. It is a ballache submitting those 12 pieces of paperwork but honestly it’s worth it, I never get any hassle and my passport is full of them.

@Stephen ***********
I provided everything they asked for and there was 1 where I just wrote in a doc that it was not applicable.

I'd wait if they extend the 45 waiver..., too much hassle for f***ing 15 days more....!
Stephen ************
OP@Tom ********
yes you could have a valid point there Tom 👍 although the 60 days then becomes 75 days so it’s 6 and of one and half a dozen of the other 👍

You could always do a border bounce and get the second 45 day waiver.

Steve *******
I got my original 90 day non o visa from them about a year and a half ago. Just gave them what they asked for and received the visa within a few days. Good service, no problems.
Stephen ************
OP@Steve ******
Thanks Steve, some of the documents required required on the application aren’t relevant like a letter of invitation from where I am staying whilst in Thailand, as I will br travelling around I have no one to confirm that document so I will try the “Not Relevant” answer like some one has suggested
John **********
@Stephen ***********
or just give the name of hotel for the first night
Brandon ************
London is one of the easiest and fastest embassies to get a visa in the world. They usually issue visas within 2-3 Business days after being submitted. There are some questions that probably aren't relevant to you if you're just looking for a tourist visa and you can try uploading an image that says "not applicable" and if then if they want more information they will email you.
Stephen ************
OP@Brandon ***********
That’s seems like worth trying Brandon because some of the documents required seem more like the kind you would need to submit for a 1 year visa ! I am not travelling till mid April so thanks for your advice worth a try 👍
