Please report how you get on at the Manila Thai Embassy as there appears to not be a single report of ANY visa gained there since their website was updated requesting a copy of a Fillipino ID card for visa applications.
Until you actually go to the Embassy and hand in the bar code you have printed, they have no access to your application and cannot check anything. It is next day collection, if they are not busy but can be longer. They do say to allow 2 weeks.
Even if your the only person there, it is still not a same day service
The photos are easy to sort. Either take low res pictures from a mobile or camera and upload them OR upload pictures to your Facebook album. Facebook compresses them to very little. Then download them to your desktop and delete from Facebook if you want too.
The consulates list this. Hull still lists the single entry Non O for being 50 yrs old. Whether London will issue it though if Hull request it, is another question.
If people are looking for the Non O single entry for retirement, it has gone. It is now this option BUT they appear to be issuing to state pensioners (65 years old plus) only.
The first screen shot Robert put up, if your a UK passport holder, if I remember, you leave that blank. It's referring to people that have a non UK passport with UK residency of 6 months or more
