    I believe what you're asking me is about the printed version of your portrait photo and not so much the uploaded version. Of course, my own guide is to help those who are having difficulties with the online process, not so much the requirements that are stated on their own website before and after this procedure. For that, I must refer you back to the embassy's website.

     

    Personally speaking, I didn't use my iPhone to take a self-portrait due to the lighting issues and the need to crop it afterwards, as well the need to print it off on photo-quality paper. I simply popped along to a Photo-Me booth at W.H. Smiths (though they're also in Tesco and Sainsbury's) and got the necessary prints for just £6. I then scanned that photo and turned it into a JPG and uploaded that. No fuss and no problem with sending it afterwards. One of the many requirements that are listed on a taking your own digital photo (I trust that you've read them) is that you need to print it off on photo-quality paper. If your printer doesn't have this, then it's pointless going down this route, and I suggest instead just visiting a photo booth which will give you everything you need.

     

    My guide is for the 60-day SETV, which is what I applied for. There is no such thing as a 90-day visa. That would involve extending your SETV when you're out in Thailand close to the end of your 60-day stay. Personally, if you're intending to stay beyond the 60-days and extend to 90-days, I wouldn't tell the London Thai Embassy that you're thinking of doing this.  

    Thank you that makes perfect sense.

     

    When you scanned in the photo from the photo booth did you scan it as A4 or did you have to crop the image to just include the small photo?

  2. What duration are we allowed to have?

     

    Is it ok to have 90 days?

     

    Was your return flight details within 60 days or 90 days?

     

    From your reply about the photo I take it you mean we can upload a photo we have taken from a digital camera and the dimensions do not matter. We then print this photo onto A4 also to send?

     

    The size limit states less than 0.5mb when I upload the biodata and photo, not 200kb.

     

    What I am checking is we don't need to scan a standard UK passport photo and then upload this and include it when we send the application? 

     

    Which one did you use?

    As my original post states (along with the information supplied on the embassy website) the photos can not exceed anything larger than 200KB, though I think it'll probably except a file that's marginally larger than 200KB. With regards to a personal photo, it says it must be one taken within the last 6 months (presumably if your appearance has changed from the original passport one). If the website has said PASS below it, then I assume it's okay and negates your earlier question.

    I am asking the size in terms of dimensions of the photo not the file size.

     

    What i need to know is can i use a large photo size I have taken with my digital camera or does it need to be a small normal 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm UK passport photo.

  4. I did fly from London with Thai Airways last Septembr the same airline I am planning to use this time.

     

    I had a return flight and no visa just the visa exemption stamp and they didnt ask for a forward ticket. 

     

    Is this different because my return was for three weeks time then and now it's for January or do they only ask for a forward ticket if you are on a one way flight?

     

    Will Thai immigration ask to see I have a booked flight to Vietnam within 30 or 60 days?

     

    Do you know how long it takes for the Thai Embassy to send back the passport and visa for the SETV from London? I am planning to book my flight to fly out on the first week of September. 

  5. Can someone give me some advice please

     

    I am a British citizen.

     

    I wish to come to Thailand as a tourist in the first week of September on a return flight returning the middle of January.

    I am planning to stay for two months in Thailand and then one month or two in Vietnam as I have never been there.

    the last time I was on holiday in Thailand was last September but that was just on a three week holiday on a 30 day visa-exempt. I have a total of three visa exempts over the last 3 years.

    Can I fly in on my 30 day UK visa Exemption then extend for 30 more days then fly to Vietnam before returning back to Bangkok to catch my flight back home to London?

    I want to purchase my ticket to Vietnam nearer the time as I'm not sure of the exact day I want to travel yet and I also will be getting a three-month visa letter. I will have a flexible return from Thai airways so I can move my return date forward or backwards depending on my plans.

    Will I have any issues boarding the plane at Heathrow or at immigration in Bangkok or will they just see I have a return flight and not have an issue with the return date being January?

    or

    do I need to have my return flight for the beginning of December to keep it in 90 days and get myself a SETV from London?

    I'm not sure how long it takes to send your passport to London and receive the SETV inside back in the post with the new online application system.

     

    Thank you everyone.
