UK visa check list?

[Batty]

We have an appointment mid week in BKK about my wifes tourist visa to UK.  Just getting all our docs in order today.  We completed the online application a few days ago and nowhere in the process did we see any kind of check list for the documents you shoudl bring - unless I am being stupid.  

 

We applied successfully 4 years ago, and im just looking through some of the documents we used last time.  I have a print out of 6 months worth of statments from my bank showing all transactions, ending balances, the lot.  It seems a bit over to top printing off all of that, but im thinking there must be a reason why I did that - i remember reading off a check list last time so I guess the check list reccomended printing off 6 months worth of statments, otherwise why would I have done it?  Its a bloody thick folder showing every single transaction over a 6 month period and just looking at it now seems way way over the top, but again there must be a reason why I did that and Im guessing I was advised to do so.  if I worked for the VFS agency and someone handed over an inch thick folder of bank statments It would probably annoy me a little but again, there must be a reason why I did all that?

 

Another thing, I am looking at the letter my sister wrote to confirm we are staying at her address when we last applied.  Its a pretty basic letter, just confirming she has known my wife for x amount of years, have met several times and that we stayed with her last time.  Along with the letter there are a ton of proofs - her solicitor letter confirming she purchased the property, driving license of her and her husband, council tax statments, bank statments, a customs and excise statment and a few other things.  Just looking at all that now I am thinking blimey thats just way too much surely they dont need all that - but again there must be a reason why we got all those proofs last time and im assuming some kind of check list advised to do so?

 

I would feel a lot more relaxed about this if I could find a check list somewhere but I just cant see anything.  Does anyone have anything or maybe a link somewhere?

 

Appreciate it, sorry if this is a pretty basic thing, i should know this already and trust me I have scoured the internet but just cant find anything.

 

Old Git?

What does it say when you have to pay for a UK visa, in Thailand,    using USD !

Yes, there is a checklist to download, but be warned that VFS will then present you with a very different set of  pages behind which you will have to organise all your documents. So by all means use the checklist to make sure you have everything, but be prepared to re-order them when you get to VFS.

They do not use the UK government checklist. Instead they have 5-6 sheets of A4, each of which has a topic (e.g. financials) and a bar code. These are used to group documents for the scanning process. We had carefully grouped and cross-referenced our 69 pages of documents to the government checklist; and wife had to spend forty minutes with a clerk re-ordering them to fit into the topics defined for their A4 sheets. We asked for a set to take away but were told they "keep changing".

The topic headers can be downloaded.

 

69 pages? Really? My wife handed over no more than 10. Application accepted with no problems. All done and dusted in 11 working days.

Perhaps you could help the OP in providing a link? Different circumstances require different quantities of supporting documentation.
