Thai Visa Express



I was looking through one of my favourite web sites Mangosauce, when I came across an advert for a visa consultancy. This is what it says:

"Unfortunately Strict immigration laws mean that it is virtually impossible to obtain a visa without professional help. Thai Visa Express can help you through the complicated processof successfully applying for a holiday or residential visa into the UK.

A succesful visa application many visits to a number of goverment departments and hospitals in both the UK and Thailand. Each of these departments require different information, in different languages at different stages of the application. Don't be fooled by other companies, each of these visits need to be made in person by those requiring and sponsoring the visa application. Also don't be taken in by claims of gauranteed success of a visa application. Everyone's circumstances are different, no one can gaurantee success. However your best chance of success is to use a trusted reputable signposting company like Thai Visa Express."

I have never read such a load of crock in my life, we have just been through the visa application. Nuch had to visit one Hospital to get a TB free certificate and visited the Visa application centre three times. Once to hand in the application, a second time to give more documents and the third time to collect her passport with the visa stamp in. Five working days.

In the notes for sponsors on the application form, it says that spnsors can accompany the applicant, but will not be required to attend the interveiw. I also don't know what hospital visit I needed to attend?

These people make it sound like a real headache, it is hardwork, but if you read the guidance on the visa web site then you should be able to get the desired visa.
