Uk Visa, Appointments At Vfs

[bifftastic]

Hi, another quick question for you good people in this forum

After submitting the online application via the website. An appointment is booked, also online. Does anyone know, roughly, what kind of time frame we're looking at here? My wife will be travelling to Bangkok to stay with some friends of ours who will be helping her with the online application and general presentation of her application for a Family Visit Visa, and I'm trying to get a rough idea of how long she might have to wait for an appointment.

I've tried to look on the VFS website, but until you actually submit the application, or at least have a saved application, you cannot see the appointment scheduling.

I understand that any advice will only be an estimate, but I would like to know if it's feasible for her to stay in Bangkok or if she will have to go back up to Chiang Rai and then come all the way back again for the appointment.

Cheers,

Biff

once you submit the application you cannot amend it. you will be given the option to choose an appointment date which is 1 week from the submission date.

Thanks, kunash, so it's one week? Are there options? Like two weeks or, tomorrow? (A bit hopeful there with the last one, I know )

It's the luck of the draw on the day, you certainly wouldn't get one tomorrow though - it's Sunday

I just looked at the system, by entering a moody passport and telephone number, and appointments were available from the 4th - 7th July inclusive, but not the rest of the month. So either they only book a few days ahead or they are booked solid. Certainly when my partner got her appointment it was for the next day, but that was last year.

When we (my Thai GF) applied the last week in April (on-line UK tourist visa application), appointments were available the first week in May only.

The application was processed in 10 working days (2 weeks).

Thanks all

we'll just have to see what happens and take it from there.
