It might. The London embassy has been prone to ask for more concrete evidence, since address on a bank statement doesn’t prove you are actually in the UK. For example, I have not been to the United States for 10 years, but my bank statement shows my US address. The UK embassy has often wanted to see boarding passes, etc., especially if you are someone who already lives in Thailand. You can try the bank statement first and prepare to supply boarding passes if needed or just supply both up front.

There have been a few examples where they were not accepted. Don’t recall anyone stating they were accepted, it also probably varies by embassy/consulate

Yes, people have received emails over the weekend.

Proof that you are in the UK. They might also want to see your flight boarding pass showing you left Thailand and returned to the UK

- If you studied law, you would know that laws are mostly country level and therefore differ for country to country. I recently entered a neighboring country and 100% saw several immigration officers asking individuals from specific countries to show their balance via the ATM near by, as proof they have funds to be there.

@Schlitz *******
it might work then, as it is proof that you are in their jurisdiction .

then you will need to share more

details with them. Agree it’s intrusive; but if you want to go this route, this embassy

wants those details.

to be clear, it isn’t Immigration, it is ministry of foreign affairs. But yes, same holds true

Anonymous participant I didn’t say you didn’t apply “due to embassy guidance”, I said you should expect to hear back based on embassy guidance. If quicker, then you are pleasantly happy.

Anonymous participant - Ok, so you should reach out to the embassy when 15 business days have passed.
