VFS SMS service

Does this service tell you the decision for a visit visa application, are there other options to getting your decision other than going in person to Bangkok again? Can we have it mailed?

You won't know the decision until you open the package and check the passport.

 

If you pay for the courier when your GF goes to VFS it can be sent.

ok, I will go for the courier, less hassle than another trip to sukhumvit and probably cheaper than a return taxi from Chonburi, thanks

 VFS act as handling agents for a number of countries in Thailand; it would help if you said which country the application is for.

 

However, I remember, confirmed by checking your previous posts,  that your wife is applying to the UK.

 

The result of UK visa applications are treated as strictly confidential by UKVI. Passports etc. are returned to VFS in sealed packages..

 

SMS messages will only say that the package has been received by VFS and is awaiting collection by or is being forwarded to the applicant or their appointed representative, whichever option the applicant chose.

 

As rasg says, your wife wont know the actual result until she receives and opens that package.

 

If using the courier service, this can be 2 or 3 days after VFS receive it, and someone has to be home to sign for it.
