The title says all really, I usually send my passport to hull consulate of Thailand then get it back in a week. But now it looks like I have to go South Kensington on one day and come back next day to collect my passport. Anybody know if this is correct or am I misreading what I am seeing on the internet and I can still just send to hull?

thanks if anybody can help or point me in right direction

You can mail your passport to London. You can find all information about easily on this forum or Thai embassy website.

Thank you for your kind appreciation. I guess that scrolling down in the same page is too much for people of your fine education.

All postal applications have to go to the Embassy in London, at the Consulates you can apply in person.

It is correct that Hull no longer accept postal applications.

So three options:

1) Apply in person at Hull. Tourist visa (but not other classes) are issued while you wait.

2) Apply by post to London - report s suggest this normally takes 3-4 days and cost GBP 10 more than personal application.

3) Apply in person at the London Embassy. I did this last month. You have have 1,2 or 3 entries. Download the form from the Internet. Take it with passport, 2 photos and gbp25 per entry - cash only - between 9.30 and 12.00. It took about 15 mins when I did it. Return the following day between 11.00 and 12.00 to collect. The Embassy is about 10 mins walk from South Ken tube.

You can still apply at Hull or any of the other consulates but you have to do it in person.
