London online E visa application.

I guess this will still go in one ear and out of the other BUT, in order to bring some sense to the party anyway, and people not needing to go through the same thing of the 'E visa site is not working' 10 times a day, lets at least give it a go.

No matter which visa you apply for, ANY field showing a red asterisk, as in the attachments shown, MUST be filled in. There are many fields marked with a red asterisk as you work your way through the application. Some ask for a pension statement, financial information, work information, flight and accomodation details etc etc

If you fail to provide the information, you CANNOT move forward with the application. Starting over and over with a new application will not solve it. All that will do is fill the application folder with more and more applications. Eventually, the system will either lock you out temporarily until you've cleared the pending application folder or, as in some cases, lock you out completely as it will see you as being a spammer.

Once it locks you out completely, there is absolutely no way back in until immigration in Bangkok unlocks you. How you would go about that, other than contacting them directly, I've no idea.The Embassys have no way or input in to the system other than with your printed bar code which they need to approve or deny your application. They canmot access your application without the bar code.They cannot unlock you if your locked out.

They cannot over ride the system or requirements in any way, shape or form or except an application if it isn't submitted by E visa. The system and requirements are locked by immigration in Bangkok.

So, unless you file the requested documents, each and everyone, then your simply not going to be able to apply using E visa or through the London Thai Embassy, no matter what anybody tells you is or isn't required.

For instance, if your not prepared to show accomodation or flight details, pension or financial statements, a letter from your employer or anything else it asks for, then I suggest finding another way to obtain a visa.

Good luck.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Thai E visa online from London, it's crucial to complete all fields marked with a red asterisk, as failing to do so will prevent you from progressing with your application. The system can lock you out temporarily or prevent you from applying altogether if too many incomplete applications are submitted. Essential documents include financial statements, accommodation, and flight details. Contacting Thai immigration in Bangkok is necessary if you get locked out, as embassies cannot assist with the application process. It's recommended to be fully prepared with all required documentation before starting the application to avoid complications.

I posted this as an ANNOUNCEMENT as there are many forum members from the UK trying to use the NEW ONLINE E-VISA application. Good Luck and remember that a Tourist Visa can still be obtained at many of the Thai Consulates in UK. Call first...then go...with same day service...even while you wait.

@Ron ******
and in several recent posts all they were seeking was a Tourist Visa. I posted your helpful list of UK Consulates and have asked posters to call first to confirm hours and if the visa they are seeking is available at that Consulate.

you have to understand that not all visas can be applied for at consulates. Exactly why I never mentioned it and was trying to keep the thread strictly to using E visa
