Reading the site, it says that to schedule an appointment you have to complete an online form. On trying to fill the form out for my fiancé online, the first choice is, where are you now? It has no option in the list to choose Thailand, or is there no option due to me not actually being in Thailand and it doing a lookup on my ip address? Then, as a test I decided to do a dummy appointment. On putting in your details you get a page with the calendar for January on it, nothing else and the message that there are no dates for scheduling an appointment... no option to move to Feb, a complete waste of time.

I guess I will have to just do it the old fashioned way by filling a paper form out and handing it in after standing in a queue.... I am less than impressed by the whole UK Visa Application website, I hope the actual place is a bit better set up, although I guess I better not hold my breath judging by their website!

The same firm runs the UK visa applications centres in various different countries. In some of them, they offer a "premium" service whereby you can book an appointment and avoid having to wait with the hoi polloi although, as ever, you have to pay for the privilege. It might be that they are thinking of introducing this at the application centre in Bangkok, but that it's not operational yet.

Scouse.

You'd think they would 'hide' the relevant pages until the service is ready to roll out.
