💡 My Tips:

* Submit as much documentation as possible to make your case clear and reduce back-and-forth delays.

* Combine documents into clear, structured PDFs

* If you’re not a UK national, expect them to ask for a screenshot of your UK immigration status (I used [www.gov.uk](www.gov.uk) and took a JPG screenshot).

* Be proactive — respond quickly when they ask for additional info.

Hope it helps. Good Luck!

I will be applying for my next visit for a tourist visa via the e-visa system, via the UK embassy.

Probably a simple answer, but it asks for proof of finances of no less than 20,000 baht. Will they accept the £ equivalent as shown on uk bank statements?

Hello everyone. I am looking at getting a 6 month, multi entry, travel visa. Travelling from the UK. What are the best ways to stretch this out, and any advice on anything related. Thanks in advance. 🙏

I’m a Uk national. I work in China and My mum lives with me in China on a dependent visa. I will move to Thailand in the summer for a new job and she will move with me. Does anyone know the documents I need to prepare to get her a dependent visa in Thailand? Or what the visa requirements are?

Thanks in advance

I just got approved in Cambodia - besides the wait time the whole process has been a total breeze.

I’m from the UK & applied for the workcation (I’ve been freelancing for 5 years).

I submitted my application on the 14th Feb. It changed from pending document check to pending approval on the 17th Feb (after the weekend). It then got approved today (27th Feb) so 9 working days later.

I wasn’t asked for any additional documents so here’s what I submitted in case it helps anyone.

Proof of location:

- Photo of entry stamp into Cambodia

- Hotel booking for 1 week

Proof of finance:

- Cover letter highlighting my closing balance and what that is approximately in Thai baht.

- 6 months of bank statement with a closing balance of over 500k. The previous months did not have that amount.

- 6 months of invoices from my main client + 3 from additional clients.

Proof of work:

- Cover letter explaining what I do for work as a freelancer and why I want to live in Thailand then I highlighted which documents I had included.

- Screenshot of my HMRC account with Unique Taxpayer Number as proof of me being a freelancer.

- Cover letter from my main client stating they have worked with me for 2 years and happy with the work I produce remotely.

- Full contract with my main client, signed 2 years ago.

- Screenshot of about 6 pages of my portfolio.

- Screenshot of 3 pages of my website.

Done & dusted. They asked for nothing else.

If you want a quick turnaround then avoid Cambodia! But if you’re happy to go somewhere new and chill, then Siem Reap really is a beautiful little place and I highly recommend to stay at Vihara City of Temples hotel, it’s $30 per night.

When applying for the DTV and showing the bank statements for the proof of 500k baht, can the money be split across two accounts or must it all be sitting in one account for 6 months before submitting the application? UK citizen applying via London embassy.

Advice please! I am from the UK and flew into Bangkok at the end of February on visa exemption - stayed 28 days. Travelled around and re-enerered Thailand through slow boat from Laos, start of June, on second visa exemption - stayed 2 weeks. I am now in Cambodia and have been here for 2 weeks. I want to go back to Bangkok to fly to the UK. Can I enter Thailand again through a second land boarder crossing with the visa exemption? It would be 3 visa exemptions in total, 1 flight and 2 land boarder. I have heard Poi Pet immigration is is notorious for refusing entry. Thank you very much 🙏
