Compare Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket appointment arrangements and understand what VFS does.
Official sources checked: 5 November 2026. Check the live instructions for your appointment or application.
VFS operates visa application centres and handles the appointment services instructed for your application. UK Visas and Immigration makes the visa decision. We are an independent administrative-support service and are not affiliated with either organisation.
Begin with the relevant GOV.UK application. The application instructions determine the identity steps and whether you need a visa application centre. Use the official VFS UK-in-Thailand portal rather than a general appointment link for another country or destination.
Bangkok’s standard centre is listed at Belle Grand Rama 9 and normally opens weekdays. Chiang Mai’s standard listing has Tuesday and Thursday opening. Phuket is listed as a premium centre with weekday morning hours. Follow the individual location guides below and verify your actual appointment confirmation.
The directory also includes premium options for Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Pattaya. Listings and services can change. A named centre does not guarantee a slot; the booking system and your confirmation provide the available appointment and its exact location.
Check which document-upload or scanning steps your booking requires. Optional services can carry additional charges. Read what each one includes and its cancellation terms before buying. Premium centre facilities do not improve the chance of approval.
Government Priority and Super Priority decision services are separate from VFS premium facilities and our support packages. Availability depends on the visa route and application. No service package guarantees a UKVI decision date.
