Basil B Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I thought you could apply from any country as long as you were legitimate but seems I am wrong. From the VFS site in KL If you are a non-Malaysian without any long term visa status in Malaysia you should wait until you return to your home country or the country where you are normally resident in order to make your UK visa application. If you are a third country national with a long term Malaysian visa you can make your visa application in Malaysia. There may be some delay in processing your visa application as the UK Border Agency may need to refer your documents to your country of origin/normal residence.

7by7 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The usual procedure is that one applies in one's country of nationality or one's country of residence if different. She is Thai. She has a full time job in Thailand so presumably lives there. Applying in Thailand seems simplest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
