Approved through US Consulate.

Applied Feb 18th. Requested additional documents March 3rd, Approved March 5th.

I applied online through the evisa site on the 18th through Workcation catagory.

I am self employed but did not have the funds required for the visa application so I had my dad sponsor me with his savings account.

Was initially worried about that being under workcation catagory but after I applied they just needed an employement verification letter signed (by myself) and they approved it.

I submitted:

Letter of Intent, Employment Contract, Proof of Work (Link to my site and invoices), Sponsorship Letter, Bank Statements (I used 6 months), Copy of My Dads Passport for ID verification, and Employment Verification Letter. I had already purhcased my flight and made a hotel reservation for my travels (March 31st is my flight out)

I wanted to say thank you to this group as I combed over tons of posts before submitting my application. I have never been anywhere outside of the US and Mexico (right across the border) but this has been a dream for going on 10 years now so I am so hyped to make it happen.

I used ChatGPT throughout my process to help me draft letters and follow the requirements with the DTV. I had ChatGPT make editable templates of all the letters I submitted if that would be helpful I put them here in a shareable folder (just make your own copy of them as needed).

The application form asks for a Local and Thailand Guarantor. What are you putting here?

Hi everyone, yup I'm a bit slow. Been coming to Thai many years and have had many a wonderful trip. I often visited other countries whilst here so didn't need to worry about 30 or then 45 day visa. Now getting on in years and a permanent girlfriend ( unless she nags too much) need to think about the 60 day online visa for when I'm back in the UK in April to come back June. Best advice please. Thanks.

A very big Thank You to all admin .. your advice has been much appreciated.. I applied for O-A visa ( UK ) last Monday by post , received back Thursday.. looking forward to being in the Kingdom very soon...

Just a word of caution to anyone looking to get your Visa at Thai embassy in London make sure your statement showing funds is of your current account not your savings account. Had mad dash to get transfer & a fresh statement from local bank. Hope to collect in morning.
