What visa agents are available in the UK for Thai visas, particularly for expats in Manchester?
Does anyone know of a visa agent in the uk we can use? We’re based in Manchester. Many thanks
Answer summary
A user in Manchester is seeking recommendations for visa agents in the UK to assist with the Thai visa process. The discussion reveals mixed opinions on the necessity and effectiveness of using an agent. Many contributors suggest that applicants can successfully navigate the visa application process independently, arguing that hiring an agent might complicate matters instead of simplifying them. Specific recommendations include 'Borderless Setup,' a UK-based agent. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the visa requirements and being prepared to handle the documentation oneself.

Just apply yourself... I did it from Manchester too.. it's dead simple, fill out the form on their website, attach any documents they need that's it.. you will get a reply if they need anything else to submit in a few days.

Got a feeling that someone helps dress you & make other BiG decisions I.e which lunch box snack you're allowed before you venture out into the Big wide 🌏

You really can do it yourself. Just read the requirements and provide the documented proof. If they require further clarification, they will ask for it.

DTV really is dead simple unless you have some really complex company, financial and tax set up in which case I'd either go soft power or get a solicitor to look over it. Also for what it's worth people seem to want to rush towards agent's which is some cases can do more damage than good and cause serious immigration problems for you even one's that are recommended and highly rated and I'm speaking from experience. Only use an agent as a last resort is my advice.

ok thanks for this. Do you happen to know if the proof of funds can be in a savings account or does it need to be in a current account?

Cheque or savings is fine as long as it’s accessible. ( not a fixed term deposit)

Anonymous participant I don't know exactly but there's huge amounts of detailed information on here. Just search for the embassy that you're applying for.

I used Borderless Setup they are UK based and on Facebook

Using an agent for the DTV is counterproductive and adds no value. You still need to assemble the same documents you would give the Agent versus clicking and uploading on the site.

Anonymous participant 804 don’t listen to the anonymous people that try to make you feel stupid for using an agent. They can be cheap, and in my opinion it’s worth it to have certainty.

@Nick ******
what’s even cheaper is uploading the files yourself. Takes about 15 seconds. There is no value add from an agent unless you’re an absolute simpleton that likes throwing money at people.Nick *******
Anonymous participant 804 some people are lazy, some people want certainty, some people get rejected and need help, some people are arrogant anonymous trolls that think they are better than everyone else. Which one are you?

I know the situation relevant to this discussion yes. No one with 3 connected brain cells would look at the applications and think “oh, I’m gonna need help doing this”Nick *******
Anonymous participant 804 arrogant too I see…so you know the situation of every single DTV applicant, including those that were declined 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂bye

@Nick ******
yes I do know their situation… they’ve been hoodwinked into thinking an agent helps them. Nothing to do with “poor”… I got to my position in life by not throwing money at scammers. That’s why I have enough to own houses, vehicles, and boat in Thailand and spend more per month on things that are valuable than you make in a yearNick *******
Anonymous participant 804 you don’t know other people’s situations so you carry on being an anonymous and apparently really poor judgemental twa*
Anonymous *************
OPAnonymous participant 804 I thought there might be agents with more experience who could check everything is correct before applying.

Anonymous participant if anything is not correct the embasy will tell you and give you an opportunity to submit it those documents again..

Anonymous participant do it yourself it’s easy save some money
