Use of Visa Agents
There are a number of visa agents in operation throughout Thailand. Applicants may choose to use them to support or prepare their visa application. It is important to note that these agents are in no way whatsoever connected to the UK Border Agency at the British Embassy and they have no influence over the outcome of an application. The UK Border Agency's outsource partner is VFS Global, who operate from the VFS UK Visa Application Centre. Their staff are clearly identifiable by their uniform.
Any decision to utilise the service of an agent is entirely at the applicants' discretion.
Where Can I Get Advice?
VFS Global and its 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 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.
We are the only OISC regulated consultants in Pattaya if you choose to pay ridiculous fees from unqualified ex pats then do so at your own risk.
