Anyone here who Irish living in UK? It is regarding the proof of residency in UK. As an Irish settled in UK, I do not have ILR or any such visa as one is not required.  I have the UK ACOS police report, bank statements, pluse letter from compnay with who I have contract + my compnay bank statements

Answer summary

An Irish citizen living in the UK does not need to prove residency to access embassy services, as they are exempt from needing an ILR or visa. However, having documents like a utility bill, ACOS police report, bank statements, and employment letters can be helpful for confirming your current address if required.

With an Irish passport you shouldn't need to prove residence, just a utility bill or whatever to provide location information. The Thai embassy in London services both UK and Irish passport holders

I thought it requires also the proof of current address which you can use electricity or tap water bill under your name.

No need to mention family but if you want to bring your children (each must be under 20 and unmarried to be your dependent), you will need to fill out separate applications for each of them and be prepared with the statement to support them each with GBP13,000. Visa fees also payable per application. As for your wife, visa is not required. In case you want to be in Thailand alone( or children and wife already in Thailand), there are more visa options but to apply under DTV requirements for Digital Nomad/Workcation, as you implied you would, standard requirements and documents mentioned on the embassy website applied.
