The visa application centre in Thailand accepts UK visa applications from customers in
Thailand and Laos

• The VFS UK visa application centre is officially authorised by the UK Border Agency to accept visa applications for all visa categories, collect visa application fees and return documents to applicants. In addition, the VFS UK visa application centre arranges interviews with the UK Border Agency at the British Embassy.
  
  The UK visa application centre is run and managed by VFS (Thailand) Ltd. VFS staff cannot influence the outcome of your visa application. The decision to issue or refuse a visa is made by the UK Border Agency.
  

  Use of visa agents
  
  There are a number of visa agents operating in Thailand. Applicants may choose to use them to help prepare their visa application. These agents are in no way connected to the UK Border Agency and they have no influence over the outcome of a visa application. The UK Border Agency's outsource partner is VFS Global, who operate from the VFS UK visa application centre. VFS staff are clearly identifiable by their uniform. The decision to use the service of an agent is entirely at the applicants' discretion.
  

• Where can I get advice?
  
  VFS staff cannot give you advice on how to complete your application, or what type of visa you should apply for. If you need help with your application or advice about the UK's immigration rules and requirements, you should seek advice from a qualified immigration adviser. In the UK immigration advisers are regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC- www.oisc.gov.uk).
  
  You can also obtain advice from legally qualified professionals regulated by designated professional bodies. A list of legally qualified professionals who can advise on immigration matters can be downloaded from the following websites:
  
  Law Society of England and Wales
  Law Society of Scotland
  Law Society of Northern Ireland
  Institute of Legal Executives
  
  Please note: The Law Societies of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and the Institute of Legal Executives cannot provide direct help or advice on visa applications. They can only provide a list of law firms who can advise on immigration matters.
