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.

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.

I'm in a similar position, but I will be visiting with and staying with my Thai partner on her parents farm.

How do I prove where I'm staying?

Is a letter from my partner proof enough?

I'm happy to get a 3 month visa but see nothing on the Thai visa website applicable to me. A 60 day tourist visa appears to be my only option!

'With a Tourist visa, you can stay in Thailand for no longer than 60 days. If you wish to stay in Thailand for more than 60 days, you can extend your stay with the Immigration Bureau'.

What visa should I be looking for?

Am I correct in thinking that a 60 day can only be extended once at an immigration office?

I've done this every year for the past 3 years.

I get a 60 day tourist visa, renew once at immigration for 30 days and then again by visiting Laos for 3 days via Nong Khai for another 30 day extension.

I do this once in a calendar year.

I've never had a problem!

Which is just as well as I cycle across the bridge in to Laos!😀

A refusal to enter would be 'inconvenient' to say the least!
