Tell me how you transfer a visa sticker. Only exit/entry stamps are transferred to a new passport when someone holds a "visa:".

Joe is awol. You don't transfer "visas", they remain in the old passport.

I would still vote to leave. But you are absolutely right, had Cameron (a decent PM IMO) done his job properly the 'leave' option would not have been necessary.

They should issue the visa for 12 months. The visa validity is unrelated to the expiry date of your passport. You cannot transfer the visa to the new passport, you will need to carry old and new passports when traveling/doing a border run.

True........but perhaps Thailand does it better!

Apology unnecessary, thanks. I thought I was quite clear in explaining that IMP immigration/handling refugees was already a clusterfck and would not be improved by leaving the EU. Unicorn, or not, my reasons for voting leave were clear - I did not wish to remain part of the monster that I believed the EU had become. I was a fan of the EEC and the concept of 9 similar countries becoming a trading bloc (similar to ASSEAN) but I am a great believer in independence and the right of individual countries to make their own laws etc. The bloc is secondary to that IMO. I do think that the EU became too large and was wrong to treat all members as equals - there should have been grades of membership. That nice Mr Cameron gave me the choice to leave or remain, I voted accordingly.

Nice thought...................but it ain't going to happen in our lifetime.

I rest my case.....

No, you didn't comprehend my post. I said Immigration was not a factor in my Brexit considerations.........governments were already mismanaging that. You are making the typical Remainer mistake of trying to think for others - please don't do it for me. I love Europe/Europeans, I detest the EU. I voted to leave, we won, we left. There was always a price to pay for leaving the 'club', the only disappointment is the Schadenfreude of the losing side in milking every negative opportunity.

Please don't label all Brixiteers the same. I voted to leave the EU in the full knowledge that successive UK governments had failed to implement it's own immigration policies - illegal immigrants were a separate factor and governments failed to get to grips with the problem. I was also aware of the value of European labour (commonwealth and Asian labour prior to that. Whilst many UK workers will be pleased to see the back of 'cheap' imported workers but that creates an inevitable void.

They are all willing........ They are not all ladies....

Then you are suitably registered with the amphur - and that will suffice more the Affirmation to Marry when you next get hitched.

Could the house not be bequeathed to your daughter, with rights of lifetime occupation for you? (i accept that a usufruct/superficiary achieves the same)

Go to the local amphur with your ex and exchange your marriage certificates for divorce ones. Don't bother telling Immigration.

I am not scared of anything. Go tough man....the world is your oyster.

Standard advice:- Apple Cider Vinegar also helped me.

You can still have foods that contain a healthier type of fat called unsaturated fat. Check labels on food to see what type of fat it has in it. Try to eat more: oily fish, like mackerel and salmon brown rice, wholegrain bread and wholewheat pasta nuts and seeds fruits and vegetables Try to eat less: meat pies, sausages and fatty meat butter, lard and ghee cream and hard cheese, like cheddar cakes and biscuits food that contains coconut oil or palm oil Exercise more Aim to do at least 150 minutes (2.5 hours) of exercise a week.

Confirm - your wife is 'different'. Well done for discussing post-death matters. You will understand that "most (rural) Thais" are not so comfortable. In many cases they don't understand the process and effect of bereavement of their Farang - in many cases the Farang is not good at explaining these. When Buddhism says that you go to a next life (and that life is going to better because they tamboon often) it is difficult to deal with the cold reality of death. I have seen several situations where things have not worked out as intended following a death of a Thai. My wife's family is one example where a house did not get transferred to the intended beneficiary. My wife has done nothing about arranging a Will to ensure that, as per her wishes, her nephews inherit her property.

They would have died whether this raid took place or not..................

So he wasn't wrong then?

Not even hypothetical ????...you are in the clear, having reported within the 15 days before/7 days after.

7 days is the official 'grace period' if reporting in person. 15 days before... No grace period for online reporting.

I understand your point, but in reality, with EMS, a passport can be retrieved within 48 hours. I know people in the Boonies who post their passport, and application, to agents.....it is often the best option available for them. The risk of not getting the passport back in time for an extension renewal (or even a 90 day report) is of greater concern to most than not actually being in possession of the passport.

Trolling again..

1. Registration is at the Land Office. 2. There is no time limitation, the usufruct remains on the chanote.

I think the only purpose of presenting the current passport to VfS is for identification purposes - and to check the photocopied pages. It is therefore logical to return the current passport to the presenter. Where an agent is involved the passport should be immediately retrievable by the applicants. I am trying to recall the previous procedures for processing through Hong Kong - I can’t imagine that the current passport left the possession of the applicant.
