Are you leaving the UK to come to Thailand or another country? My understanding and I may be wrong is that you just need to be outside of Thailand.

@Sophie *****

yes exactly that's fine.

It is quite straight forward to get a DTV as you have everything required. Upload your contract and evidence of your work if you have some collate into one PDF using merge on ilovepdf.com and condense if the file is too large to upload. It's free. Put a cover note explaining what you have collated and a nice note about why you want to come to Thailand. Then add 3 months bank statements showing your savings again a little note explaining - collate and compress if needed. Be careful to fill everything on the form with no mistakes double che k everything, one typo and your application will be cancelled and you have to apply and pay again. It's easy but just check the detail. You'll be fine. Hanoi is quite quick I've heard.

DTV for sure but you need to show about 500,000 baht savings (£12k roughly) for 3 months in your personal account. You can get the familyin as dependants.

One other thing, when you upload your passport picture it tries to automatically read your name. Double check this as it can change your name and then your application won't be processed if the name is incorrect. Had this happen to my friend.
