You can phone them up. There are 4 ext numbers to speak to someone in the Thai Embassy in London. You can only phone between 2pm and 5 pm weekdays. Unless they have recently changed this. But be warned it usually takes 45 minutes to an hour to speak to someone.

Thankyou.

Who did you take that cover with

@Cris *****

opened an account this week with Kasikorn in khon kaen with a non o visa and a certificate from immigration to apply for a yearly retirement visa after funds in back for 2 month. The bank wanted my U.K. tax reference which I was not expecting

Hi Stuart. I am doing actually the same. Landed in Bangkok yesterday. Apply for a Non O 90 day Visa in the uk on line at the Thai Embassy London. You do not need the medical certificate or police clearance with the Non O. Not the Non OA visa this one you need them. Then after the funds in the Thai bank account you apply for the yearly retirement visa. If you need to speak to the Thai embassy in London be prepared for a long wait to speak to someone. You will be put on hold in a queue and then told that there in a technical problem try later. They have 4 extensions to speak to someone in the visa dept. Try another extension straight away.

spot on

I applied for a non o visa recently. It took less than a week. I did not find it easy completing the application online. Down loading the required documents. If you are not good with technology get someone to help you. Also if you feel the need to speak to the Thai Embassy in London. Be prepared for a long wait to get through. Can take from 45 minutes to 2 hours. And they keep cutting you off saying they have a technical problem phone later. They only take phone calls from 2pm to 5 pm weekdays. Thats why it so difficult to speak to them. Also!! They issue the visa from the date of approval for 90 days. But I understand that the date of your 90 day stay starts from the day you arrive in Thailand. Immigration will stamp your passport for 90 days from your arrival date. Best of luck
