Hi all. Am in London trying to apply for a visa online and getting nowhere. They don't reply to emails and no one picks up the phone obvs. Anyone done it recently? Main question is do I need to shell out for the flights and hotel up front before I get the visa and the CofE? Also they are asking for site of visas I have used over the last twelve months (I haven't) and proof of ID of the person inviting me to stay in Thailand (am in a hotel). Just a simple 60 day tourist visa is all I need. Driving me nuts.
