Usually when there are any errors on the application, including names misspelled, incorrect dates, etc, your application will be canceled and you lose the application fee.

It will be in person. You bring all your documents (and anything else that might be useful) with you.

It all depends on the conversion rate they are using. They might actually not be converting UK pound into Bhat but UK pound into Vietnamese Dong
