i have an application Awaiting document approval at the London embassy. I did write to them via email and they responded just saying we are very busy but will endeavour to have reviewed etc. Within the 10 working days. Also bear in mind they will deal with visas that are needed more urgently first, so if your trip isn't for another month or 2 then you're not a high priority

Which country are you currently in? If you are in thailand you can't apply for a visa through the London embassy unless you are in the uk? If you are in thailand then unless you are planning on coming back to the uk. You will need to apply in a neighbouring country and use your entry stamp in your passport to show you are in that country. Go to Vietnam for example apply on their evisa system stay until you are approved.

Try virgin travel insurance as it will cover 90 day trips and you can list your current health conditions

you sound like you'll be ok 👍 it's baht or equivalent so can be in any currency. The chances are you wont be asked its just in case they are looking for a reason to deny you entry.

@Armin ***

yes you can in theory. The immigration officer in the airport may just wave you through or could question you about staying in thailand on visa exempt and possibly deny you entry. If you haven't stayed in thailand for more than the 1 visit and extension then it's more likely you'll be ok. I would suggest you make sure you have the entry requirements with you in case they ask on your return. These are cash in your pocket I think baht, a place to stay and an onward ticket within the 60 days of the new visa exempt. Unfortunately in thailand it's never a black and white answer it's always a depends on the IO even though the rules If you call them that dont actually change. I hope this helps

I said if, I didn't look into his nationality only that he was not obviously !!!! on a non o .

You can't have a non o visa as its valid for 90 days? And you can't extend it for 30 days either. It sounds like you entered on visa exempt i.e. no visa at all for 60 days and then extended at immigration for 30days. If you did enter on visa exempt then if you leave the country and then reenter then you should get another 60 days visa exempt but that of course depends on how many times yiu have done this previously and whether immigration will stamp you back in.
