Apply through GOV.UK
Thai nationals need a visa before travelling. Apply online on GOV.UK, then give biometrics at the UK-appointed visa application centre.
TB test for longer stays
Applicants resident in Thailand staying more than 6 months need a TB certificate from a UKVI-approved clinic.
Translations
Documents not in English or Welsh need a translation confirming accuracy, with the date, the translator's name and signature and contact details, as UKVI requires.
Frequently asked questions
How many months of bank statements?
It depends on the visa route; check that route's guidance on GOV.UK.
Is there an interview?
Some applicants may be interviewed at UKVI's discretion.
Do UK applications need a certified translation?
Yes — UKVI requires each non-English document to have a full translation that can be checked, with the translator's confirmation of accuracy, date, name and contact details.
