When applying for a Non-Immigrant Type O from the London Thai Embassy, typically how much financial evidence needs to be shown?

1 month or 3 months of statements from my bank account?

Hi everyone,

I applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) through the London embassy on 11 September.

The next day (12 Sept) I received a request for more documents, which I uploaded right away.

However, my application has been stuck on “Pending Document Check” ever since.

Here’s the snag: I accidentally uploaded a Monzo business account statement instead of a personal one (it’s my sole-trader account with my name/address) and only after I realized they wanted a personal bank statement not a business one. I expected they’d email me again asking for a personal statement, but I’ve heard nothing, no email, no portal message, for over a week.

What’s puzzling is that:

• My wife applied a week earlier and her DTV was approved within a week, she uploaded her Revolut personal statement and after a day the application was already in pending approval and after few days approved, took like 6 working days in total

• Several friends applied around the same time as me and were also approved quickly, even when they had to resubmit documents, only 1-2 days in pending document check and then in pending approval and after 4-5 days they got approved.

But in my case, it’s been 6 working days already where the visa status didn’t change at all from “pending document check” and they’re not even asking me for more documents, look like it’s just stuck.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with the London Thai Embassy, especially if you accidentally submitted a business account statement?

Did it just take extra time, or will they eventually email again for the correct personal statement?

Thanks for any insight!

Good afternoon,

I am currently applying for my DTV (Freelancer) visa from the UK, via the Thai Embassy in London.

I am at the third section where I must provide travel information-this includes my intended date of departure from here.

I cannot complete this section as I have not bought a flight yet, as I am not sure how long the visa will take to process.

I was planning on booking a ticket to leave the UK two weeks from today, but i am hesitant to do so until I know how long my visa will potentially take to process.

Can anyone advise me the average time it takes to process one of these visa's?

-Then I can book a flight and complete this section of the application.

Thank you kindly.

Hi everyone

I’m planning my soft power application from

London.

Can someone please provide me with the official link to apply online for the UK Thai embassy. I can’t seem to find it on Google

I will be applying for the soft power route with Muay Thai.

I assume I need the following is there anything I’m missing?

1. Muay Thai gym package details and receipt

2. 500k in saving

3. Passport - is this just the main page with my photo and passport details?

4. Proof of residency - if my bank account has my UK home address is this sufficient or should I add my drivers license or utility bill too?

5. Flight details? I’ve heard some people just needed to provide the flight number or do you need to provide proof of payment and confirmation etc?

Thank you so much

Hi have just booked my flight to Thailand arriving 19th October, when would be best time for me to apply for non o visa from London, have most paperwork ready thanks

Has anyone here successfully applied for the DTV Soft Power visa through the Thai embassy in London?

I’m considering enrolling with Arun Thai Cooking School, which offers:

* 6-Month Program (8 Classes) – 18,900 THB

* Visa Support Package (Optional) – 18,000 THB

The visa support package includes the official embassy visa fee (13,000–14,000 THB) and claims to cover full application submission and embassy coordination. They also say there’s a money-back guarantee if the visa gets rejected.

I’m wondering if it’s smarter to go directly through them, or if it’s better to just take the course and use a more well-known visa agent like Issa Composs?

Has anyone here gone through either route? Would love to hear real experiences — success stories or warnings welcome.

Hello Group.

Just an info share. I submitted a non O visa request via the website at the Thai Embassy in London on the evening of the 24 June and received it approved this morning, 1 July. 3-4 working days, Very efficient. I know a few people have been asking on timescales, so thought I’d share my experience. Flight leaves in 8 days time 😊

How long generally does it take to get an O-A visa from the thai embassy in London?

Hi

Can anyone advise how long it is taking to issue AO visas at the moment in the UK.

Thank you in advance

Is there a charge for a Non Immigrant O Visa? I'm on the Thai embassy website and it looks as though it's £150.

Or is that the cost of an annual extension.

Thanks.
