asia_pilot Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Hello everybody, just checking if someone recently applied for a UK Tourist Visa here in Bangkok. How long did it take ? Last year at the same time it took 3 days to get the Visa issued. But somehow I remeber to read about beeing 8 weeks now ? Any info on that ? asia_pilot.

7by7 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 According to the latest (August) visa processing times for Bangkok, out of 1567 general visit visa applications resolved, 93% were processed within 15 working days of receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiVisaExpress Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 5/10 working days is more the normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 My wife submitted her UK visit visa application last Tuesday 13th Oct and just received the SMS notification from VFS that her passport is ready for collection today 20th Oct. Quick question; I have to collect new UK passports for my son and I next Thursday at the UK embassy so is it possible that I collect her passport at Regent House if I have the receipt and her ID card? We are in Udon and she is busy arranging a tambun for next Friday (her birthday) and it would save some time and money if I was the only one flying down to collect stuff in Bangkok before the holiday!

ThaiVisaExpress Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 You must have power of attorney form signed to collect her passport that's what my company have to do anyway as all applications come back to office via courier generally. Ask her to ring Regent house they will advise her accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a generic power of attorney form or do they only accept something specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need is a signed copy of your passport and her id and a note from her authorising you to collect to collect her passport, and of course the original receipt. As I say all very simple and straightforward, I did it recently, though for some strange reason they asked me for my phone number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called and they wanted a signed power-of-attorney from her, a scan of my passport and they asked me to write my phone number on it. Then they gave me the package. Good news, she got a 6-month, multi-entry visa good through April next year. Now we wait for the snow! Edited October 22, 2009 by NanLaew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
