Hello! Does anyone know if I can apply for non-immigrant type O (on the basis of being a spouse) via the E visa website without my Thai husband having a Thai ID card? He has a copy of his Thai birth certificate and tabien baan, and expired Thai passport.

I can’t seem to get hold of the London embassy to ask them and I don’t want to pay the fee if the Thai ID is an absolute must for obtaining the visa.

(For context: he will apply for his Thai ID card when we get to Thailand. It’s not possible to do at the embassy here because the first ID card must be issued in Thailand).

Also, would I really need to provide a DBS certificate and medical certificate? I struggled to check this info online. I’m assuming I’d need to pay a GP to issue a medical certificate… has anyone been through this process before and could possibly share some tips?

Thanks in advance!
