A few days before is fine

I only gave them 2 days of statements just to show the balance (London evisa)

Yes , you should but London processes applications very quickly. I doubt it’ll take more than a week

I just looked up a flight for a date close to when I wanted to leave and gave them that. They didn’t ask for confirmation. However if you want to be super safe for $15 you can get a temporary flight number which holds up under scrutiny from onwardflights.com

Foreigner turns up to Thailand 3 years ago and makes out like he’s Christopher Columbus and these “new” farang are ruining Thailand - please

Proof of income is not usually requested, just proof of money in your account.

They rarely ask for proof of flights and if you actually have a ticket you’re fine.

Screenshots are not allowed. You need an official bank statement with your address. Most banks let you download this as a pdf from your online banking.

@Bernardo ************

they did not ask for proof of accommodation or flights. I just entered the details of a hotel I found online and the same with the flights.

If you want peace of mind while applying- choose a cheap hotel so you can make a booking there if they ask for this (I don’t think they will, no one I know on here has been asked by the London embassy to my knowledge)

I recently used my driving license for a successful application

@Tom ********

you’re welcome- good luck with your application. Also just to be clear, my experience was with the workcation dtv and I work for a company. If you are self employed, I hear they often ask for tax returns too, but not in my case.
