ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello  

I am trying to apply online for a multiple entry tourist visa from London. 

I am being asked to include flight details but I am reluctant to book the tickets until I actually have the visa.. I am also planning to travel around Asia for a short while before arriving in Thailand but I don't have a specific date in mind and I may even enter over land..

Anyone got any advice? I am thinking of typing in a random flight number just so I can continue the visa application.

Last time it was a simple trip to Hull and it was sorted in a day...

Thanks

Dan

The visa is 6 months valid from the moment it is attached in your passport.

Thanks. Also will the 6 months visa validity start from when I arrive in Thailand? Or when the visa is issued?
