Mine was in Revolut, approved back in November so should be just fine

Anonymous participant absolutely. This is why I personally had a slight reservation on soft power. If I did go that route I feel I’d keep booking courses just to keep it up. Last thing I want is to be pleading my case for a course that’s already ended. Fortunately I was lucky enough to go the work route so as long as I remain working, it should be good. Nothing guaranteed but I’d rather this way.

I can also see why they wouldn’t. I have to be fair and say if I was an IO and someone said they were coming on the visa for X course/ reason and I can see that the course ended 6 months ago. I’d probably refuse them too. It’d be like someone saying they’re coming to study, but they graduated from the school a year ago. Again, I don’t say this to deter anyone… just to provide open context and a viewpoint.

THIS! Whilst I hope it doesn’t deter or restrict anyone, I can’t help but feel people are missing this very point. The visa is only as good as the IO and their supervisors decision.

I look at this way. Is it likely to flag… probably not. However if it does flag they will rightly and justifiably cancel your application and you’ll have to start over. Is it a pain… YES. Is it the rules they clearly state regarding the application process… also YES

They specify in the application that you are supposed to apply from the country you are in and remain there until the application has been processed and completed to approval or rejection.

Seeing that you have now left the UK your options are to either return back to the UK, provide the requested documents and a flight from the UK to Thailand. Alternatively, you can cancel the current application and start a brand new one from the country you are currently in, but will need to remain there until the application is complete and processed through to acceptance or rejection.

I plan to take trips every 2-3 months around the APAC region thus eliminating the 90 day and 6 month situation, but if I was staying for a straight 6 month stint I'd take a trip over attempting to extend in country.

Change your flight 100% if you can. Better to reschedule then risk a visa cancellation because you’re no longer ‘in country of application’

Hoping you get an answer and response soon but if not I would recommend calling the London Thai embassy on the next working day nothing hurts by calling and asking and you may get lucky and pushed up a bit.

Anonymous participant 430 as teeth implants can be quite a straightforward procedure, I would stress that you’re looking to take time with your recovery and looking to spend that time in Thailand. Whilst a tooth implant doesn’t take too long to do full healing recovery can take six months so you spending six months in Thailand makes more sense for the DTV as opposed to you just coming over for a one-day procedure and then requesting a five-year visa for it. I hope that helps and makes sense and I’m happy to answer any questions you have if I can be of help.

Unlikely to affect your application in all honesty. Just strange it's taken so long from London. Even with the English and Thai holidays most are approved quite quickly. Wishing all the best for you.
