I've done several border runs from Nong Khai and never had a problem, quite the opposite, they are very helpful.

You can cycle across the bridge from Nong Khai in to Laos. Just fill in a couple of forms either side. Go to booth 5D on the Thai side.

Good luck..😀

This might have gone unseen as it was at the end of someone's post.

'If your niece could apply for a tourist visa just in her name without your sponsorship I feel she stands a far better chance'.

Is that the case?

I assumed that she needed a sponsor to prove that she has somewhere to stay and that I have the means to support her and that she has to prove she has good reason to return to Thailand!

@David ******

She has Indefinite Leave To Remain.

I've just asked a similar question and have found out that your first port of call is VFS Global.

@Max ************

There's always one smart arse like yourself.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had never heard of VFS until mentioned by Phil Cefiro.

But now I know, guess what?

I have googled VFS and am now on the right track thanks to him.

Many thanks for your invaluable input.

@Phil *******

Thanks for that.

'If you’re applying for a UK visa from Thailand, your first stop will not be the British Embassy in Bangkok. You must first connect with VFS UK Thailand, a private company that partners with the UK government to process visa applicants and biometric data. They operate a visa application center in Bangkok that accepts all visa applications, regardless of the category they fall under'.

I never knew that and by the look of it others didn't either.😀

Much appreciated.

@John *********

She's 18.

@Simon ********

That's what thought at first. But how can they give the number out to someone else after another person has been using it?

I just got the same message!!!!!!!!!!!

1500 bht fine or use that money to hop across the border and get a bit of value for it.
