Good advice thank you. I'll be in Surrey next week for two weeks. The cost of going to London twice, especially as I'll have to take the commuter train at double the cost plus the time makes it prohibitive.
Aaron Thomas could you inform us of the time it takes from posting to return please.
Can you provide the link you used for the visa form.
Apparently the page is just an endorsement page and not a visa page. I'm going to get a new passport and then just deal with the visa, etc from Thailand.
