British Embassy announces changes to visa-application proces
From the Letters section of todays The Nation
----------------------------------------------------------

As part of our commitment to continually improve our visa services, the British Embassy has entered into a partnership with VFS (Thailand) Ltd to expand arrangements for the receipt and return of visa applications.

From April 21, applications for all categories of UK visas should be made at:

UK Visa Application Centre 2nd Floor, Regent House183 Rajdamri Road Kwaeng Lumpini, Khet Pathumwan Bangkok, 10330

Opening hours: submission - 8.30am to 3pm; collection - 3pm to 4.30. The office is situated within five minutes walk of BTS Rajdamri.

Most straightforward visa applications submitted through the Application Centre will be processed within two working days. A service charge of Bt425 (plus 7 per cent VAT) per passport will be levied.

It is appreciated that the service charge is an increased cost to a visa application, but it is hoped this will be offset by the convenience, comfort and efficiency that the new system and premises provide.

The Visa Section at the British Embassy will be closed from April 19 to 21 to prepare for outsourcing.

VFS, operators of the UK Visa Application Centre, are an experienced company offering visa support services to British and other diplomatic missions in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the UAE, the People's Republic of China, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, among others.
