Paul Bute, Chargé d’Affaires at the British Embassy said:
This new visa application centre will make it more convenient for our customers in Northern Thailand to apply for their UK visa.
VFS Global successfully manage UK visa application centres all over the world, and we expect that through having this dedicated facility we will welcome more visitors from Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand to the UK.
The new visa application centre is located at:

There will be no changes to the visa process for customers, who will continue to apply for their visa and book their visa appointment via https://www.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa. However there will be an extra charge to use this user-pay VAC which is £55 on top of the cost of the visa.
