Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let people know about my Visa Experience application - London :

Application : METV (Mutiple Entry Tourist Visa)

Application date : 21st October

Follow Up Chaser Email : 2nd November

Application Approval : 4th November

Amount Paid : £150 on 21st October

What I provided :

1. Clear photo of me with a white background (I used ChatGBT to make it Thai Visa Application friendly).

2. Copy of a Utility Bill (Octopus Energy - dated within 1 month).

3. Accomodation confirmation for the first 10 days.

4. Copy of bank statements for 3 months showing +20k baht. I used ChatGBT to combine all pages into 1 pdf.

5. Copy of my flight information from Trip.com showing flight in and out of Thailand (59 days duration).

When chasing via email I copied in my pdf's with my request for an update. I emailed visa.lon@mfa.go.th and visa@thaiembassyuk.org.uk.

The Thai Visa went straight through - no questions and the wait time was around 14 full days (10 working days).

Hope that helps anyone who have applied around the same date.
