There is a lot of confusion on the different types of visas that you must get when visiting the UK. It is no secret that when visiting the British government help website that you can become very confused and not know what to do. We have all become accustomed to easy to use websites with big icons that point us where to click. You simply do not get this on the government website and you will find yourself looking harder for the links to the right source of information. This makes it very hard to find the right visa UK information and when you do you will find that the PDF documents are in English which will further confuse you if you English skills are not of a high level. This is due to the terms that they use and how they explain everything.

You will also not get much more help from the VFS help line as they will simply try to direct you to the website and get you to download a form. So overall this is why a lot of Thais find it hard to apply for a visa UK. In most cases you will need to at least get some sort of help.

Before you do decide to phone around and ask for help or pay an agent make sure that you have at least these very basic documents.

For a visa UK application it is important to have proof that you will return to your home country. This proof can be a job in Thailand, a business, or property that ties you to the country. Without any of these documents then you can completely forget making an application as it will be refused.

Next you will need an address in the United Kingdom where you will be staying. If you are going to stay with friends or relatives then it is important that you get a letter of invitation from them and also their identification. This will prove who they are and where they live. For those who are going on holiday then they will need to provide a hotel address and a booking for the duration of the whole trip as proof of where they are staying.

These are a few tips for you to consider when applying for a visa UK. The best way for a Thai to make an application is to use an agent who will be able to handle the whole process for you and make sure you have all the correct documents.
