Can I use my Thai bank account to meet the financial requirements for a METV application while residing in the UK?

Christian **********

If your country of residence is in the UK you must apply from there. And the amount will have to have been in your UK bank account for the past 6 months. Once the visa has been approved you can spend it as you wish.

Application

@Ivan ***********

I hope you're right about that. I know of two friends here in the US who were denied visas (METV) and both lost their $200 application fee. Thankfully I haven't after three applications.

Timing is everything because validity begins on the day it was issued, as noted by

Because it's now an e-visa application the process is faster and less expensive. Mine was approved in 3 days by the Los Angeles consulate.
