  1. Think you need to expand on your situation a bit more, I've never been asked for previous passports, they go in the bin.
  2. I wouldn't bother with an agent, my wife recently got a visa and we thought the agent route would be the best option but after getting nowhere for 10 days we dumped them and did it ourselves, very easy and painless. I live in the UK and she lives in Thailand so with you already retired there that has to be a bonus. Best of luck ????
  3. Simple Scanner app on my phone, scan passport photo and save as jpeg. Tried to do it on my scanner and laptop but couldn't get it small enough without losing quality.
  4. Nothings really changed, you can still get good cheap accommodation, a meal and a beer.
  5. The criteria for the visas are more complicated but the system works OK, applied Friday, confirmation Monday. Don't like how you just get a piece of paper now instead of an actual visa in your passport.
  6. The first and third question I just uploaded my passport page again, not sure about the second as I used my wife's ID. Can't see why you couldn't use a photo off your phone, I had a passport photo which I scanned with my phone and uploaded. Applied Friday and got confirmation yesterday. Didn't realise you just get a piece of paper now instead of a visa in your passport ????.
  7. I can't believe it's been so complicated for you. I have a 2yr car licence which is up for renewal, have things changed so much in the last 2yrs. Normally it's a trip to Saiyok city hall with the wife's house book to get a letter then to kanchanaburi to renew, in and out usually within 1½hrs with my new licence in my hand.
  8. She keeps going on about the "fine print", the 31 day cover isn't in the fine print it's a standard duration which he will have clicked on, probably thought he was getting it cheaper. Hope the lad recovers but can't believe people have paid up £20,000 for him.
  9. Any recommendations for health insurance for a Thai travelling to the UK for 6 weeks holiday. Thanks.
  10. I would go at the normal time, 15 minutes before the appointment. We paid for the scanning assistance and my wife said they were really helpful, no problems.
  11. I have a 2yr car licence that will be up for renewal in February, can I renew it entering visa exempt or will I need to get a tourist visa, thanks.
  12. Literally seconds ago VFS have emailed me, hopefully successful ????.
  13. Do they tell you if you've been successful or do you have to wait until you pick your passport up.
  14. My wife went to VFS on the 10th November and not heard anything yet.
  15. Hi, I am going to apply for a visit visa for my wife, I am currently working in the UK and she is in Thailand. If I write a sponsorship letter for her would it be OK to scan and email it or would they want the original letter. Thanks.
  16. This is what I did, it was 19yrs ago but wouldn't recommend it, was a nightmare.
  17. Yes but that's got nothing to do with the yellow book or ID card, that's available to anyone.
  18. Arrived Tuesday, Qatar Airways handed them out, handed it over at immigration but never returned it, I asked about this and he confirmed they're not used anymore. Why airlines are continuing to hand them out I have no idea.
  19. Just spotted this nest in my garden, amazing how it has stitched the leaves together. received_402564038308605.mp4
  20. The Morchana app does not work on my phone, the Thailand plus apps didn't either.
  21. Any recommendations for Covid insurance, preferably from people who have needed to use it and made a claim. Flying from UK.
