@Ivan ***********

cheers Ivan. As I’ve never done this before I just want to make sure I get it as correct as possible first time! If they require more documents I assume I’m notified of this and given the opportunity to provide them, rather than simply rejecting my application and having to apply again?

Once again, thanks for all the replies everyone. I’ll bite the bullet and buy a refundable flex ticket. The bank statements I provide will actually show the Emirates payment 😉

So from the top, I’ll send all of the below as part of my application, I realise I’m providing more than necessary but I figure this display of openness can only help:-

• covering letter listing the documents supplied.

• Flight ticket (depart mid Jan 26, return mid July 26)

• Passport (expires 15 August 2026, to be renewed upon return to UK)

•Recent photograph

• Driving Licence

• Utility Bill

• Bank statements from 20 November 2025 to approx 24 December 2025 showing 500,000 THB (neither in their email nor on the London Embassy website can I locate any stipulation that 3 months statements are required)

• Remote Working Employment Contract for UK company (I will not be supplying a letter from my employer as this is presented as an option instead of the remote working contract, correct?)

• UK Limited Company information from UK GOV website.

• 3 months payslips

Feel free to advise if I’m going over the top with all this (I’m over 50 so better safe than sorry!) and advise anything else you feel it would be worth including.

ArticulateSquirrel3605 fair point

Hi Chantelle, very interesting. I’ll have a look, don’t suppose you recall the name off the top of your head?

Thanks for all the replies. I always fly Emirates from Newcastle (NCL) > Dubai > BKK and return, and looking at my previous tickets to be honest the EK flight numbers never change, so I was just planning to take a chance and give them the flight numbers. If they then requested actual tickets I’d have to book an Emirates Flex ticket as that’s the only one that offers a full refund. Further comments/advice appreciated! 😇

@Chantelle *****

fantastic reply and advice, thanks Chantelle! 🤩

Anonymous participant 449 might be useful, just in case

@Ade *******

is yours a Workation or soft power DTV?

My balance showed equivalent 500,000 THB on 19 November, I’m thinking of submitting my application on 5 January, it’s not 3 months but as it spans 3 months hopefully it will be ok.

I’ll also give my remote working contract, payslips and employer Ltd Company info just for good measure.

What evidence was provided for being in the UK? Currently utility bill?

Thanks for all of the responses everyone, very helpful. This is all that’s on the London Embassy website
