I'm a UK citizen. Can anyone advise on how to get the Yellow Book? Do I need to go the Bangkok UK embassy to get my passport certified first? Then get it translated? Is there a certified translator in Hua Hin? I live in Hua Hin so avoiding a trip to Bangkok would make this easier.

Okay here's a question. My friend is here in Thailand he's going to leave to Hong Kong. He is a UK resident and want to apply for a 90-day non-o Visa in Hong Kong. Is that fine or does he have to go back to the UK since that is where his passport is from?

Dear digital nomads,

If you've been asked for a utility bill/rental agreement/drivers license to prove your address, but you don't have that, what did you do?

(I've already sent my bank statements with my UK address, but my parents pay the bills and own the flat, so that's why I don't have those things)

Thanks so much ✨

Ps I'm a UK citizen applying in London

PPS my friend sent his mortgage from the bank, if that helps someone, but I don't have a mortgage

Hello. Uk citizen, i have a multiple entry tourist visa 180 days. Will i still be required to show a ticket leaving thailand with 60 days of arrival or not ? Thanks. David.

Update: uk citizen, applied via London embassy, approved in 4 days.

Got all docs prepared. Proof of work (UK business ownership, copy of tax calculation, and recent payslips). 3-month bank statement showing CLOSING BALANCE of appropriate amount (this wasn’t seasoned) and screenshots of other non-instant access accounts to show additional funds.

We had details for flight in. Nothing needed for flight out.

No additional documents requested.

Bank account update.

Hi last week I posted here asking for personal experiences opening a bank account and I got some helpful advice. I also got the usual doom sayer , keyboard warrior stuff suggesting I had no chance without an agent. Anyway, here is my experience and this relates only to one bank branch in one specific place but it may assist someone. It’s specific to me a UK citizen on O-A 12 month retirement visa.

I went today to Bangkok bank in Karon Beach, Phuket , I was there a total of 55 minutes including waiting time. I signed what seemed like hundreds of forms then left with a savings book and master card for my newly opened bank account.

What was required :

1. My passport showing entry stamp and long term visa

2. Printout of E Visa

3. I was asked for a Thai driving licence but they accepted my UK licence and International driving permit instead.

4. Thai phone number

5. UK UTR ( Tax reference)

I had taken a residence certificate ( some people in this group refer to this as “ a letter from immigration” )this was not required.

I also took TM 30 also not required and I was never asked for a tenancy agreement. ( I don’t have one anyway)

As I say this was my experience in a specific branch. The experience may well differ in different branches of BKK bank and different banks. It may also differ with different nationalities and different visas.

I paid a small fee 699 baht for my Mastercard. There was an option for a different card at 400 baht. After my account was opened I was offered insurance but declined and this was no issue.

One last thing, despite having a Thai sim I could not set up online banking but was told if I got a top up invoice from an AIS store with my phone number on it they would be able to do this for me quite easily on my next visit.

BKK bank in Karon is the first and only bank I went to.

Hope this helps someone

I've had my bag stolen with wallet and passport inside.I have a photo of .my passport on my phone.I fly home tomorrow at 6.00pm.Im a UK citizen . What's the procedure for replacing or getting a temporary passport.T.I.A.

I'm from the UK but haven't lived there for many years. I have been working abroad and travelling non stop for over ten years. I'm currently in Thailand on a tourist visa. What's the easiest way to go about applying for the DTV? I have enough in the bank and do not want to have to go back to the UK if I can avoid it.

Are there any differences in doing it from Laos or Cambodia?

A rough timeframe?

I work for an online teaching company. Is it better to state that, or to say I'm going to have Muay Thai classes (which I am, in fact)?

Cheers all!

Halo group.

I would like your advice please.

I’m a UK citizen, currently travelling on visa exempt stamps.

I entered Thailand on October 18th and stayed for three days, for which I was stamped in and out of the country.

I entered Thailand again on November 19th, with a new stamp that is valid until January 17th, but I would like to stay an extra two weeks beyond that date, if possible.

So, my questions are …

Is it possible for me to get a 30-day extension on this current stay?

If so, when would be the best time to apply for this at an immigration office?

The answer will inform my travel planning, buying flights home, etc.

Thanks in advance for your guidance in this matter 🙏🏻

I'm looking at the multi entry visa for Thailand as a UK citizen..... Is it applied for all online ? Do I have to send my passport?..... I am in Vietnam at the moment... So just wondering how to do it from here
