Not excusing the detestable Starmer but the Conservatives were equally inept. .....and where the <deleted> are the even more inept EU in all this.

You provide no detail, or link to a story, l so your argument is redundant. A while ago someone drove into a group of Muslim worshippers. It could have been that story regurgitated for all we know. The police in Liverpool acted swiftly to ensure that it was known that it wasn't terror related. They also learned the lessons of the earlier Southport attack.

It is to me and always will be. Thankfully my Jewish friends are not like you

Paranoid?.......or what ? I could see the attempt at humour.

Certainly did get laid, thanks. Your comprehension is pathetic, I never look down on Pattaya - sone of the miscreants who live there, maybe. I have been a fearless defender of Pattaya for 20 years and although I don't go in so often (a shag usually) I have always maintained that Pattaya has something for everyone - the secret is to use Pattaya and not let Pattaya use you

I think the OP just wants to thin his blood - he obviously hasn't read advice from American College of Cardiology.......but I agree about Ultracet.

Every Aussie has a it of Brit in them.

Those that don't are rather stupid because the driver is responsible for any fine.

Absolutely correct, but you omitted the fact that there is usually a traffic cop on duty waving these helmetless kids into the school. Start the education right there; impound the bike for the day and put the students into detention. A few years ago I spoke with a policeman in HCMC (where there is 99% compliance), he said it took a few years of consistent punishment but eventually they conformed. He also mentioned that they hadn't yet managed to stop them riding on the pavements!

In Pattaya every M/C taxi I have used carries a helmet for their fare.

Please don't tell me that qualifies them as good drivers. Anybody can buy a licence.

Family

Excellent. Much of the static data doesn't change; parents names, DoB, ID card, visa/travel history and often the address. If I was a smart IT guy at UKVI I would develop a way of bringing forward any previous input, with the ability to edit certain sections if appropriate.

Mine expired in March and I will renew in July when I get back from Europe. Because a DL runs to your birthday many people time renewal to get virtually 6 years

No apology required. It doesn't help when Thai Immigration refer to extensions if stay as "visas"....took me several years to get to grips with the terminology.

I am confused. Jeez Dude. You probably mean a Multiple Reentry Permit.

Can you still get ME's? You can't in the UK.

I think he already has an extension - based on marriage.

You said you had a visa. You can change an extension type at 'renewal' IF you have satisfied the terms of the original approval (400k) and satisfy the requirements for an extension based on retirement e 800k seasoned for 2 months.

I am currently in Spain and I would happily bring back strawberries (which are far superior to anything in Thailand) and other fruit. And, of course, wine.

I don't know the direct answer to your question but I suspect not, I would think that a visa category cannot be changed - indeed, when you enter Thailand your visa is 'used'. I believe a new Non-O will be required...perhaps that could be arranged - others with better knowledge of your situation could give a better reply. My question would be (given that your stay is short), why not get a Retirement Visa on your next (longer?) visit and extend then?

Then create a separate thread about it. This thread is about a UK resident. That is how the forum works.
