Hi Guys, I need a new 1 year Multi entry Non-Imm "O" visa and was thinking of going to Blighty to get it.

My question is are they easy to get there and do you need to show funds to qualify for it.

I was also thinking of going to Perth, but I thought it would be easier from my own country.

Any thoughts?

Hi sinbadsailor,

The general view of contributors to this site seems to be that London is not 'visa friendly' and that the best places are Hull and Birmingham.  As to the requirements for any particular type of visa, you can use the very comprehensive listings on the home page of this site, where you should find the info you need or vist the Hull consulate website.

Anyone know about the Thai consulate in Perth, any good for 1 year multi entry visas.

Sinbadsailor ...heheheh I like it SIN-BAD-SAILOR  Perth is good for a multi, it takes a couple of days. Brisbane is better does the visa's while you wait. Don't go near the Thai Embassy London.

Does it matter I am a Brit, and also do I need to show any bank statements or anything. Cheers.

The Brisbane and Perth view is you need to prove all that when / if you seek extension in Thailand. So to get the multi there no problems.

Sorry Dr. I don't quite get that.

IF you go to Brisbanr or Perth you will not have a problem. Aussies will still help a Brit
