There is an option for 60 days (I am using that this time), though that is probably not necessary as you will be back before you need to put the application in.

Of course he will, what can possibly wrong.

Have just noticed Monday June 3 is a national

holiday....your options are narrowing,

@kimamey  That is plenty of time, as long as you get all of your paperwork ready to go on your return.

The application must be in before the extension finishes. You will get an under consideration stamp when you make your application, the consideration stamp is equivalent to an extension of your permission to stay. You can even go into immigration a couple of days after the report back date a there will be no problem. So please reassure SWMBO that there is no problem, apart from the English weather of course.

"Assuming he is not held up in the UK", being the critical phrase.

Think his wife may be more concerned about him getting

back in time, returning on May 27 he will only have a short

window to get to immigration before June 6, assuming

he is not held up in the UK. 

Would personally not risk it.

many thanks for all the answers folks

Curious to know how you have a UK bank account,

which normally requires UK residency yet your bank

sends statements to a Thai address.

thanks, do you know if VFL have this form at their office?

Yes

You need to fill out a separate payment form with your

card details and payment will be deducted only when

application reaches UK, for which reason payment

using Thai cards seem to have a habit of being

rejected....by the Thai banks.

Interesting, that a certain ex-con has just been visiting

his home town, what possible influence could he have.

So, you did not have time to check, as the snake was hunting you and your wife, pushing you into a corner, where you had no way out than to kill it? Is that right?

The only thing you do in you silly thread, is to over and over again justify that killing snakes and geckos are ok. Just get it! It´s not OK!

Leave it now, think this thread has been done to death....rather like the snake(ha ha).

No worries, actually thought it was quite a rstrained response,

particularly in respect to my unwarranted jibe about your age.

 

Have a good day.

 

Guys...There are so many "snakey" comments in Asean Now, and that was very heartening from you both.  Made my day thankyou.  Thankyou.🙏

Mind your own business...ha ha

Pity you were not on hand to educate me 

Not murder then, more a case of mistaken identity.

Actually cobras (which yours wasn't) are one of most shy snakes here.

 

It is usually much faster and easier to just use a broom to sweep them outside. They don't really want to be there either.

 

But if it makes you feel like a man......

 

Blah, blah.....should have guessed another stupid, ignorant American.

Looks like you fail to understand that this snake was not venomous. There was no mortal combat.

Was not to know that at the time.

I retract this comment. I don't know you so I should not have said this. However, please treat harmless creatures with respect. They can be useful to have around the place.

No worries, actually thought it was quite a rstrained response,

Have a good day.

This is how it is done.

 

Yeah right, and when I next come across a nice docile friendly snake.

You need to get out more.

My cat does that, should I kill it too? What possible harm could a snake do to your engine? like my cat it soon runs out when I start the car.

You not seen on TV items where mechanics are trying to 

extract a reluctant snake from a car engine

Seems you’re getting a bit of criticism, which seems very unjustified.

 

Maybe a lot of key board warriors here, who in reality would poo their pants, in the same situation.

 

Actually quite enjoying it, but surprised at the snowflake reaction of some.

Snakes generally will not attack unless provoked. It's best to not violate their territory and let them be.
 

Best way to protect yourself is to carefully get everyone including your pets out of the room immediately and shut the door, then call for assistance. Local rescue service or fire station, depending where you live, will normally come and catch it and remove.

 

If you are bitten the hospital needs to know what type of snake it was, before any treatment is given.

Watched this one being removed from a neighbours last year

Have no intention of violating their territory, if they don't violate mine.

But my house is fairly open plan downstairs and in the time it takes

to call international rescue the snake could be anywhere, my greatest 

concern being it could easily have climbed into the engine bay of my car.

But thanks for the positive input and adivce.

Why would you kill gecko or bother them, or kill a snake like this, absolute pointless.

Love having the small gecko around, but don't like

the big ones that have a habit of climbing behind

my fridge.

And for the record, can't recall the last time was

in mortal combat with a snake, normally I just

see them off the premises..
