I found the webpage for Thai consulate in Wales had different info than the London embassy page, scant though that was. That's why I asked for England specific. Thanks anyway.

@Dawn *******

Thank you . I will PM you.

@Henrik ****

Do you have relevant information pertaining to an English application?

@Brandon ***********

Timescales seem unlikely to allow that.

@Graham *****

Yes, on the official Evisa site.

That's good news about the tourist visa.

The OA seems to throw up unexpected questions and documentation requirements, not helped by intransigence of UK banks!!

Am I correct that my wife (u50) needs a tourist visa before applying for a 'spouse' visa once my OA had been granted?

Capital for her visa is in a joint account, is that a problem?

Thanks

As proceedures appear to differ at different places I need guidance pertaining to England only via evisa.

Processing timescales, acceptable documentation, joint bank accounts

Is it possible to apply for OA and tourist visa simultaneously.

Flights date approaching rapidly, e-forms not co-operating.

@ธรรมะ *****

I think you misunderstand. To me he is criticising the visa system, not you personally.

Silly even to do that though, their country, their rules.

@Dawn *******

thank you.

@Graham *****

thank you.

@Dawn *******

I'm trying this but funds are in UK bank in £ as I've not got a Thai bank yet. Did you have funds in UK or Thai bank please. I asked online at embassy site but got no answer to that.

Thanks in advance
