Hi All

Will be heading to the UK on Wed and will need to use this trip as a visa run. How easy is it to get a TV from the Thai embassy in London? I have had a look at the website but can't see anything about how long it takes to process. I have an NZ passport. Do I need to make an appointment? Is it same-day processing? Apologies if I have missed seeing these details on the website.

Alternatively, does anyone know the best place to go for a TV if I am staying in Gloucestershire? I have read that Hull is the bees knees for obtaining visas (v.helpful website!), but getting there seems to be awkward by train from where I'll be staying. Anyone know how long it takes to drive from Gloucestershire to Hull?

Thanks in advance

You can apply by mail. Call them when you are in the UK.

Birmingham may be within range if you wanted to go in person.

Thanks for the replies. Oops, I should have mentioned we are only going for 7 days, and 2 of those days are a weekend. Birmingham might be worth a crack!

Cheers

Cardiff is an easy run from most of Gloucestershire (where are you staying?) and is a much nicer city than Brum

Hull is very efficient. Have seen recent post were people mail on day 1 and get their passport back on day 3.

2 working days (including the day you apply). Walk-in service. I've seen them do it faster, but you would have to provide real evidence of some kind of extraordinary circumstances...

Just back from UK this morning...zzzz....

Just want to say a big Thanks to Crossy for recommending Cardiff! Nice to be treated like a human being and have a laugh with the lovely lady at the consulate. Very quick and no dramas.

Cheers
