Almost as terrifying as when people announce they are putting someone on their ignore list.

Yes, it is like throwing stones at someone's front door and running off!

Both you two blokes are having a bob each way, VFS have a say/ no they don,t. Clearly they do or they would,nt exist. Ask any agent working in Trendy Building! 🤪

They have no authority whatsoever. VfS are simply processing agents for UKVI.... a glorified post box if you like. That said, they have become more professional and helpful over recent years.

We need 2 laughing emojis.

Because you could be laughing "with" someone (ie that was funny) or laughing "at" someone (ie you don't know what you're talking about).

We need a sarcasm emoji........ because sometimes people can't see it.

So, there are guys who are "weird hermits" because they're just chill and keep themselves to themselves, who I guess people who think are bad; and then there are guys "cool guys" who drink every day and use prostitutes, who I guess people think are good, is that it?

Half right in my case

You don't renew visas.

If you really have an O visa you need to apply for a new one.

If, as is more likely, you have an extension of stay you will need to provide more information:-

Basis of extension ie retirement/marriage. Money in the bank or income method.

Immigration office used.

It happens to me all the time. I allow 3 to 5 days for a transfer.

It never happens to me......only once was a transfer delayed until the next ay; the significant majority have been within seconds.

Transfer Sterling to your WISE account then remt to your Thai bank account rom there. Usually arrives in seconds to Kasikorn and Bangkok Bank.

I have been hacked several times!

i try to stay away from pos( point of sale)terminals , the kind that swipe the magnet strip or the front slot insert.

Also I dont allow a cashier to expose my card numbers to the overhead security cameras. I try to only handle the card my self.

If I need to use booking.com or a online purchase I use a specific card for that and immediately lock my card after purchase.

I use a card with the chip and tap vs insert at Pos terminals such as Home Pro & Watsadue & Lotus. So far so good. Big C & Makro I use cash.

Its becoming more & more dangerous using ones cards.

Good luck

Much safer than carrying cash.

Are you paranoid about cash as well ?😏

55% of people in the UK now think that Brexit was a mistake, compared with 30% who think it was the right thing to do.

If Starmer loses very soon it won't be because of a Brexit reset.

Only 55%, that sounds low for hindsight review after the governments failure to "Get BREXIT Done" properly.

With my Asus bought in Thailand and with a Thai keyboard, but set to US keyboard, Shift and number key 3 gives me the #

I use ALT 0163

To get the pound sign (£) on a Thai keyboard, you can use the Alt key code or the number pad. Here's how:

1. Using Alt Key Code:

Num Lock On: Ensure Num Lock is enabled.
Hold Alt: Press and hold the Alt key.
Type 0163: Type the numbers 0163 on the numeric keypad while holding down the Alt key.
Release: Release the Alt key, and the pound sign (£) should appear.

2. Alternative Method (If you have a UK or similar keyboard):

Shift + 3: On some keyboards (particularly UK or similar layouts), the pound sign may be directly accessible using the Shift + 3 combination.

A whinging UK person on a frozen pension living in a fan room comes to mind.

Yes, I imagine you can relate precisely to that.

I have been dealing with VFS for over 15 years, not just UK, also Europe and Canada, and have had many issues in that time. You are quite right, they did have far too much power. Also more interested in selling a service than providing one.

However time has moved on and these days with self online submission they have a lot less opportunity to stick their nose in. If you upload yourself and avoid involvement with their services there shouldn't be a problem from them.

A few years back we had to do Canada visa followed by UK visa, They screwed up on the Canada visa making the time for the UK visa tight. When I threatened to report them to the UK embassy they wrote across the top of the UK application "Urgent Fast Track" in large red letters.

Then there were people saying VFS had no influence on visa applications.

VfS have no influence on the decision making process.

In the past they have come across as being obstructive on occasions, not so in recent years.

Morocco......that's an interesting choice @sandyf not a place I have considered.
