Hi everyone Two weeks ago, I applied for a tourist visa through the Thai Embassy in London. Today, the Embassy emailed me requesting additional documentation. I do not have a P60 form, as I have been in my current job for less than a year. Furthermore, the letter I obtained from HR is not addressed specifically to the Thai Embassy; it is simply addressed "To Whom It May Concern." Given that I lack these documents, will my visa application be rejected?
Answer summary
The user has applied for a tourist visa in Thailand and is concerned about missing documents, specifically a P60 form and an HR letter not addressed to the Thai Embassy. Comments from the community provide advice about visa requirements, suggesting that a P60 might not be necessary for a tourist visa application and recommending alternative documentation, such as a bank statement. There are also suggestions to ensure that documents are correctly addressed and comprehensive, as Thai authorities are increasingly strict about verification.

For SETV you don't need P60. Just bank statement

il faut absolument des documents très spécifiques, il y a même des personnes par exemple à Paris qui sont convoquées à l’ambassade pour vérifier si les documents ne sont pas défaut car certains fournissent des faux certificats d’employeur tout ça pour rester six mois soi-disant en télétravail, or ils ne sont même pas employés

donc ils veulent de plus en plus de preuves et c’est normal !!! soyez en règle et oui risque de refus du visa si un document ne respecte pas ce qui est requis

Okay, listen very carefully!

Use ChatGPT, tell it what you are doing, tell it what you have already uploaded (preferably upload copies to chat) you don’t have to put in your personal bank stuff, and then upload what the Thai embassy has asked you.

Chat will check it all, draft letters where necessary and advise exactly what to do.

I used it every step of the way. 👍🏻

Jim Faulks, I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps the applicant has a history of staying long-term in Thailand using tourist visas.

“A UK bank statement that has been printed at the bank branch and bears the official stamp of the bank” - are there any banks that provide such a service?

Yep, you can get one. I did from Nationwide. But I didn't need it for any Visa application, I might add.

IsaanThai5754 yeah, this. You'll be lucky to find a branch that deals with physical documents these days. My family live in Cornwall and every branch has shut down in the towns.

They have to travel to a big city like Plymouth (long drive) and even then it's difficult to get personal assistance.

Which tourist visa did you apply for?

John Hampton the bank balance requirement of £700 is for single entry visa

IsaanThai5754, 700 GBP is 30,000 THB. The requirement listed on the eVisa system is 20,000 THB for both SETV and METV.

Do you have a P60 from your previous job? That should suffice with an explanation.

Ask your work to provide an updated letter properly addressed

the tax information would be on the P45 received when leaving previous employment. The only time you would not have a P60/P45 would be if you start your first job after the start of the tax year.
