CharlieH Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 As per title. If you are requiring a "proof of income" letter from the British Embassy in Bkk and dont want to take the trip. You can apply by post, and the current stated turnaround time is 2 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbing Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have done this for the past ten years and the the turnaround time has often been by return of post and never more than a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJAS Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have done this for the past 3 years, with turnaround times of between 1 and 2 weeks. Beats me, though, why the Embassy insist on payment by postal order(s). Why can't they accept payment by credit card, just as Hong Kong do in the case of passport renewals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder about the people who seem to think completing a simple application procedure with Immigrations is just too overwhelmingly difficult. I'm pretty sure your experience (and mine) are quite typical despite the tales of woe from people who find it all too difficult to cope with some pretty straight forward requirements.

IsaanAndy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I did it by post once too and it was returned within a week, I guess they quote 2 weeks to cover themselves. I'm going to use the new service operated by Key Visa as I will be in Pattaya next month and don't want the overnight trip to BKK. I shall report on it then.

Never heard of them in Thailand. Do you but them from Thai Post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used key Visa and things went very smoothly all for the princely sum of 300 Baht + the cost of the letter. Good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
