UK Issuing O-A visa yet?

[MRToMRT]

Does anyone know if the London Embassy is issuing e-visa again yet? I am not in the 11 groups that can enter but need a new visa (o) in anticipation of coming back in next 3 months.

No, unless you are 1 of the groups allowed in. i am also waiting was hoping oct/nov, but not sure it will be this year

You cannot apply for and have a visa issued at this time. The are only issuing visas for those that qualify to apply for a certificate of entry.

Thanks!

Hi, only when the criteria to be able to enter Thailand have relaxed again, you wlll be able to apply for the Non Imm O-A Visa at the Thai Embassy in London.

But as you are probably aware already, since October 30, 2019 you are now required to also meet the health-insurance requirement when applying for that Visa, which makes it somewhat more difficult to get it.

Contrary to the popular narrative on the Forum, that this insurance requirement has 'killed' the Non Imm O-A Visa it is actually not so difficult to meet that insurance requirement (if you know how).

>> I did PM you a Guideline document outlining how to meet that health-insurance requirement when applying for the Non Imm O-A Visa in your home-country.
