Does this curfew mean that the champions league final in the clubhouse is now off?

No problems in Bangkok, I've out and about for the last 3 days, haven't seen a single soldier yet.

Champions league final still on at the clubhouse, 01.45am kick off on Sunday.

The Clubhouse is showing the game, but martial law could have a impact whether they will be open or not.

I've been in The Clubhouse quite a few times since arriving in BKK on 10th May, they are showing the champions league final on Saturday, although that now could be not happening with the martial law, I'll pop in there later on and have a word with the manager Ian.

I'll in phra ram 9 area, so sukhumvit 4 to 33 would be preferred area.

Yeah, I know that plaza, another option, thanks.

I will be going to Pattaya for a night or two, but I'm only really interested in the England games, mainly bars in Bangkok. I can always stream games in my apartment, but that lacks the atmosphere of a bar/pub.

Ok thanks.

Does anyone know of any bars in Bangkok that will be showing the 2014 world cup, especially the late kick offs like the England vs Italy game, kick off is 5am Thai time. I know The Clubhouse in Sukhumvit soi 23 will show the games, but they usually close at 1am.

We want to go to Thailand for an extended holiday, about 2 or 3 months, she prefers to get her new visa before we go, when the biometric card is received, then we will book a flight for the following day, so should be back in Thailand by the 2nd weekend of May.

I've been looking at UKBA's website for premium appointments and there is appointments for Saturday 3rd May 2014, but the UKBA website shows that the Croydon PEO is only open Monday to Friday, they are also appointments for Saturday 12th April 2014, both of these Saturday appointment are before a bank holiday, has anyone attended a Saturday PEO appointment.

My wife will be applying for FLR(M), she entered the UK on 31/05/2012 and she is eligible to apply 28 days before her two year qualifying period finishes and that will be 03/05/2014 according to timeanddate.com. I'm unsure whether to book this appointment or not, advice needed?

Classic.

Narz club in soi 23, normally open until 6am to 8am Friday and Saturday, not sure about during the week, but it will be late.

Yes ILR is as dead as a dodo, FLR for her, booked in for her A1 English test on 1st March. I had to persuade her to do another visa, she wanted to exit the UK and never come back, apparently the UK is cold and boring, couldn't agree more with that, but she likes the money she earns from her job, typical Thai lady, money #1! 555

My wife will be hopefully applying in person on Tuesday 6th May, we want to go on holiday later that week, would she be able to exit the UK with her passport with current visa stamped in to it or will she need the biometrics card to exit the UK?

The biometrics card will be posted to us by DHL or FedEx to where we will be staying in Bangkok, we will be staying Thailand for about 3 months and I want to book the flights soon.

Now it all makes sense.

Good luck.

I hope it makes sense and doesn't go pear shaped, only time will tell. I fancy doing something different, getting a bit bored in the UK and I quite like living in Bangkok.

I'm 45 and have a Thai wife, long way off retirement!

I rang the consulate in Hull this afternoon and they said 65000 Thai baht per month for any Non O visa, so that's £1300 to £1400 per month, I don't qualify. It maybe easier to get a 3 multiple entry tourist visa instead, I'm looking to apply to British Embassy in Bangkok in May for the visa department, I can get a Non B and work permit then.

You've lost me now.

Where do the British Embassy on Wireless Road come in to it?

Are you intending to live and work in Thailand? There are hoops to jump through if you want a business visa.

To get a non-immigrant “B” visa you need a letter of recommendation from your company that you present to a Thai consulate in another country.

The letter should state that the applicant has been offered a job, that the company requests that the applicant be given a non-immigrant visa so the company may apply for a work permit for them, and that the company knows the person to be dependable, upstanding, etc. Be sure to ask for the letter several days before you leave the country. They also ask for registration documents from the company you are going to work for. Ask a Thai employee to find out exactly what is required in this case. Recently, consulates have been warning people who have non-immigrant visas that they must present their work permits to get another visa next time (they even stamp this message next to the visa), but this may be just a scare tactic by the consulate.

Yes, the intention is to live and work in Thailand, I've done it before 3 years ago, the British Embassy advertise roles for the visa department at the start of May.

I was inquiring about the multiple entry Non O as a alternative to the multiple entry tourist visa.

So It's the multiple entry Non O visas that you will to need to satisfy the financial requirements in the UK?

You can get a multiple entry based upon marriage at one of the consulates with no financial proof. Try Birmingham.

All the topics and posts about needing financial proof are for ones based upon retirement.

Thanks for the info ubonjoe. When would be best to apply, we are leaving the UK on 20th April, I've had multiple entry tourist visas from Hull before and I it had to be utilzed within 3 months.

Would it be possible to get a single entry Non O without the financial requirements in the UK?

Based upon what reason?

You should be able to get one for marriage or retirement at one of the honorary consulates.

Marriage to a Thai national.

Not a problem even at the embassy,

I've been reading about the difficulty gaining a Thai Non O visa from the Hull consulate and also I'm looking into applying for one from the Birmingham consulate. At present mys wife and I both reside in the UK, we are both working and had a monthly income of £2000 between us, we also have cash savings of £8000, would this be enough to gain a non O multiple visa for myself?

We will be moving back to Thailand in April this year, I would prefer a multiple entry Non O valid for 12 months rather than getting a triple entry tourist visa.
