Evisa website keeps freezing Any solutions please

The Royal Thai Embassy in London only states that you must show financial evidence of at least £11,000 (≈ 500,000 THB), for example via bank statements or a sponsorship letter. It does not specify how long that money must have been in your account. Anyone from the Uk been turned down for not having it in there for less than 3 months?

Looking for advice – change of travel date after DTV e-visa submission (London)

Hi all,

I submitted my DTV e-visa application to the Royal Thai Embassy in London on 27 October. The portal still shows *Processing – Pending Document Check*. On my application I put an intended arrival of 1 December, but my plans have changed and I’m now considering travelling on 11 November.

I’m worried my case might be low priority because the original arrival date was a month away, and I’m unsure how best to notify the embassy so the visa arrives in time.

Questions for anyone who’s done this recently:

* Have you changed your travel date after submitting—did it cause any issues or delays?

* Did you email the London e-visa team? If so, which email address worked and what subject line did you use?

* Did you attach your updated flight itinerary or re-upload it on the portal?

* After emailing, how long did it take for them to respond or update the status?

* Any tips on wording so it’s seen as informational (not asking them to amend core details) and possibly helps prioritise due to earlier travel?

For context: I’m not trying to create a duplicate application—just inform them of the new intended travel date and check if they need anything from me.

Thanks in advance for any experiences, email contacts, or practical tips!

Has anyone recently had a Non O 90 day Marriage visa online from the UK (Royal Thai Embassy London)? If so how long did it take? I only have 9 working days when I'm in the UK

I am in the UK atm and I am going to apply for the DTV via soft powers , doing it through the royal Thai embassy in London but doing it online. Has anyone been approved or done this recently and what is the approx time from start to finish ?

I’ve recently been granted my Workcation (DTV) visa for Thailand through the Royal Thai Embassy in London. I’m now preparing to apply for a Soft Power visa for my girlfriend, who will be enrolling in a certified Thai cooking course during our stay.

What we’ve done so far:

• Transferred 500,000 THB into her personal Thai bank account last week to support her application.

• Secured her official enrollment in a six-month Thai cooking program.

• Drafted a sponsor letter confirming that both I and my company will cover her accommodation, utilities, and living expenses, as we will be living together in Thailand.

Additionally, she will be assisting me on the side with administrative and creative tasks for my company, which is registered in the United Kingdom and operates entirely outside of Thailand. This will serve as a supplementary, remote source of income.

I’d appreciate clarification on the following:

1. Should the 500,000 THB remain in her account for a specific duration before applying (i.e. seasoning)?

Some sources mention a 3-month history—can you confirm the requirement for the London embassy?

2. What exact documents are required from the Thai cooking school?

Is the acceptance letter sufficient, or do you also require the school’s business registration, class schedule, or payment receipt?

3. Is proof of relationship needed, and if so, what type is preferred?

Would personal photos, joint travel history, or a signed affidavit be appropriate?

4. Should we include a copy of our rental agreement in Thailand?

Will this help demonstrate shared accommodation and support her application?

5. Would you recommend including my employment contract, company registration, or income statements to reinforce the sponsor letter?

Documents we’re preparing to submit:

• Sponsor letter (detailing financial support and cohabitation)

• Thai bank statement showing 500,000 THB deposit

• Enrollment letter and payment confirmation from the cooking school

• Proof of accommodation (lease/rental agreement)

• Proof of relationship (photos, travel itinerary, joint documents)

• My employment and business documents (as financial sponsor)

• Explanation of her remote assistance with my UK-based business (non-Thai income)

Please let us know if there are any other requirements specific to the Royal Thai Embassy in London, or if there’s anything else we should include to ensure a smooth and successful application.

Workcation (digital nomad) DTV approved in 5 working days - London 🇹🇭 🇬🇧

June 12th - Applied online, via the freelancer/business owner route, selecting the Royal Thai Embassy in London.

June 15th - Received request for two additional documents (one more proof of current location, and three months of recent utility bills) which I sent within the hour.

June 18th - Received e-visa in my inbox.

Notes:

I sent everything as requested in the initial application but was still asked for the two documents above. Balance on statement ending on 10th June was around £14k, and I only sent this one month statement. The statement showed a starting balance of £12k though, and an end balance of £14k so that would have shown it wasn’t just deposited in the last month. I wasn’t asked for more bank statements, but I did include three months of payslips in my original application.

Documents I attached:

Cover letter confirming type of DTV I was applying and that I understood employment was prohibited and all my earnings would be from outside Thailand.

Employment certificate on my company headed paper, signed by hand and stamped with the company stamp, detailing my position, salary, and confirmation that I am a remote worker and can work from anywhere in the world.

Companies House document showing I owned the company, and that the company had been incorporated in 2011.

Three months of payslips from one client only (not all my clients) showing a steady income.

Flight ticket and hotel confirmation email.

Driving licence as proof of current address and location (but was later asked to send another document to prove my current location, such as three months of any utility bill, so I sent my last three mobile phone bills which was accepted).

Key tip: keep your documents in order, make sure all fields are correct, combine into one single PDF with a cover letter at the front and all the supporting documents after that in the order listed above, and keep an eye on emails in case further documents are requested. PM me if you have any queries 😊
