That's a bit of a harsh interest...

Surely it's someone taking the p$@s !! If not i tok long with Chonabot & will be interested in this members debut post !!  ???    

Thanks for your responses.

What happens if you get caught?  Fine/ deportation/ prison / blacklisted for return to thailand?

I prefer to remain anonymous about the company.  Thailand is a small place and alot of people read this website.

If you get caught you may well have all four you mention thrown at you !!!    ??? Afterall T.i.t.

Hi Russty,

Having only experiences with the German embassy but since we are talking Europe and a tourist visa valid for the so-called Schenger states the procedure is most likely the same:.

Russty, We (the UK) are not part of the Schenger agreement.  So the UK would be the sole country your GF would be able to visit (I understand the for other european countries if they belong to the Schenger agreement it allows that person holding a Visa for let's say Germany to also travel to other countries belonging to this agreement without further Visa regulations, However it is a tourist Visa this may be different). Tok long with Richard there are quite rigeous procedures in place, Make sure you GF knows everthing about your family IE names and ages, where you live etc the ins and outs of a Ducks Arse !!!!! The interviews aren't a walk in the park and the more evidence you supply to the Emabassy concreting your relationship the better !!, When i was trying for my now wife go over to UK for a holiday they wouldn't have any of it eventhough i submitted bank statements, photo's, letters, phone bills etc etc and they rejected us in the first instant ?!!!?, However seems to me that if they have asked your GF to go away and come back you may well have got past the initial and highest hurdle. Not wanting to piss on your chips but you will have to sit tight and wait and see, No doubt your GF will have to go through another interview so get your story straight between you and keep as it was the last time and i'm sure they will let you GF visit you in good old rigid,cold and miserable Angkrit..tee hee.

For your info they never gave my now wife a visitors visa we were offered a six month fiances visa !, Which you do not have to marry after the six months and your GF can return to Thailand with no questions ask, But if you wanted to obtain further visas for your GF then that may raise some questions unless you decide to marry towards the end of the six month visa requirement. This visa seems to be used more as unfortunatley even in this day and age there are still people who's trade is women IE slavery/prostitution. But you guys seem genuine enough and the embassy staff are trained to spot anything dodgy, Also it is down to the discretion of the Visa officer at the time of decision, let's just hope they are in a good frame of mind......For now chock dii, good luck and make sure you stock up on socks and extra jumpers for your GF !!!!!              

So invest, er I mean give the thai's 30 million......I mean doesn't EVERY falang have 30 mil floating around??  

Mr Vietnam

err let me just check my wallet...umm, yii sip baht ! DOooooh  

You know you've been in T'land to long, when:

- You wear your crash helmet back to front and perched on top of your head

- You get your wife, 3 kids, pooch in the front basket and laundry on your moped and then do a Uey to go back and pick up mae-yai as well

- You wear your helmet as far as the intersection with the cop, then take it off as soon as he's outta sight

Plachon:

You are obviously living/staying in Issarn because that is *so* spot on!

Talking of Issan... You look forward to the day when that pickup arrives enabling you to exchange a manky flea bitten old mutt who howls all night for nice brand new, well behaved & quiet plastic bucket !!!       ???

Still can't work that one out ...  

Once they nicked my 'Loaded' magazine!

Those crafty officers....They must know that Loaded has pictures of quality birds wearing next to nothing, Let's face it they're not gonna be reading any of the stories, I rarely do !!!  

Not sure if this Web adr might help, Under the Export Procedure banner it tells you the full procedure based on each commodity shipped, IE if you want to ship rice ex Thailand then an Export license is required, It seems it varies depending on what good you wish to ship.

It may or may not be useful........!!!???    ???

How many of you out there are able to keep your penny in your pocket when you are away from your loved one in the LOS.

Unless i want Mr Nudge cut off and used as an ingredient in a Tom Yam soup, Then the mouse stays in the house !  :laugh:

SeaVision,

I have no idea about electronics, Cameras etc etc,

Not sure if this Website could help, I am probably way of the mark but  www.spyville.com    ???

I'm with tripxcore on this one, I am the second finest Native English speaker you would ever find !.  

Would your company offer the required work permits ?

Is your company Worldwide, Asiawide or just Thailand based ?

What about recruiting people from the UK ?

Can't you give us any idea what this is about !? Come on as per Daz Daz at least give us a peep at your Website, It would save me selling my house in the UK and dragging Khun Wifey and Son 6000 miles to Bangers just to end up delivering Newspapers.........!  I understand your reasons, but giving a little more info would install more interest/confidence.

???

Mr Sam,

Maybe the rules and regs differ between the UK & US immigration, But about 2 years ago i managed to get my then G/F a fiance Visa valid for 6 months at Bangkok, Yes there was a whole lot of paperwork involved but we got the Visa within 1 week of applying !  and we subsequently married in the UK.   ???  But it must be different for the U.S.A, How strange !   ???

Daniel,

I will keep this a brief and as informative as possible, Your situation/circumstances may be different to mine, This how did it,

Met my now wife about 4 yrs ago, Visited her many times, wrote letters, Phone calls etc etc, But it would be different for you as you have been residing in Thailand so easier to prove your daily contact.

Visas we recieved over time were 1.) Applied for visiters visa (rejected). 2.) Applied for a 6 month Fiances visa (Recieved) 3.) applied for 1 yr marriage visa (In UK Croydon) (Recieved) 4.) Applied for Leave to remian permanent visa (By post in UK) Recieved.

First visa was a bitch to get they wanted to know the in's and out's of a ducks arse had to provide the following evidence/documents

- Visa forms completed.

- Visa fees (expect about 25,000 Baht non refundable if visa request rejected but the give you first screening as a block to see if there is any chance of a Visa in the first instance then you can get your money back)

- Your docs (Birth-cert)

- Her docs (Birth cert/House registration) Etc Etc

These need to be translated into English can be done for a few thousand baht.

- Proof of abode in the UK

- Proof that we had been in contact (IE letters/Phone bills/Photos)

- Proof of my UK income/Bank statments & savings

- Letter of reference from my work

- Proof of you G/F's employment in Thailand

- Proof of any income from your G/F

- Letter of invitation from you stating purpose of stay in UK

- Marriage cert

You and your g/f should expect to be interviewed on a seperate basis so the story needs to be straight.

Thats about all i can recall.

But not sure how you would get on, I would surmise that it may be easier for if you marry in thailand first then apply and it may well be easier as you have been living in thailand so daily contact with your G/F is a sure cert.

Depending on how long you intend to stay in UK i'm sure you should be lucky, I think they do have a daily/weekly quota of the number of visas accepted but i may be wrong.

Any other questions just keep posting.

Chok Dii.

Wolf,

An amazing tale !, I have met many Buddhists through Khun Wifey, who have had awful things happen to them (accidents/illness etc etc) They have all held their faith in the Buddha and pulled through some pretty much dead end situations.

Although i am not Buddhist (yet) seems that those who are have the inner strength/peace to help themselves in desperate situations, And the belief is in the protection offered from the Buddah.

Shall we say that Buddah may have blessed you on that day in London.  ???  

Meuk,

Depends, You can arrange at both ends, Best to prepay your move. If you need your P/FX in a hurry i would suggest airfreight. However if it is too large for airfreight and you are prepared to wait upto 1 month for shipment time then i would say shipping them is your cheapest option. I wouldn't go to a container line direct as they tend only to deal with the full loads, I would use an International Forwarder who will handle the full monty for your door to door !! These guys would do the booking/packing/delivery even prepare the Bill of Lading for you, There are thousands of fwdrs who have offices in Thailand & UK, I work for the 2nd biggest shipping line in the world P&O Nedlloyd and we do have a Logisitics division who could arrange this move for you, We would ship from Southampton to either Bangkok or Laem Chabang, Website is www.ponl.com and look for ponl Global Logistics, However you should shop around try people like Schenker/Panalpina/Kuehne & Nagel/ Atlantic forwarding who all will have divisions in BKK. These guys would use a host of shipping lines and will shop around to get the best price for you.

Chok Dii !!  

Could Buddhism be a religious term ?! I mean there are so many different strains of Buddhism i guess you choose the one that most fits you best !? But i think that they all aim in the same direction. Khun Wifey is Buddhist and belongs to a huge Japanese Buddhist organisation. I have looked into what it is all about, attended meetings etc,very interesting, When  i first met my wife she thought that the world was on her shoulders and that everything/everyone was out to get her !! This made her very angry at her family and my family, she already had Buddhism and she was aware that she could and should make use of it !, It wasn't until i discovered that where i live in the UK there is a massive Buddhist communtity which i was unaware of...(I guess that my pereception of Buddhists were all to be Monk like or Soap Dodger types !) My wife was assigned a Guru/Mentor and the change has been radical (for the better) My wife now is very strong willed and seems to be at peace with herself and those around her, This seems to rub off on others as in general we have a very happy household, My wife has strong belief that through her study and chanting for Buddha/herself and others that she and her loved ones are protected by her Buddha . I can't really comment any further as i do not practise myself but i support my wifes belief as it has changed her life and made her realise that she has "life" and is learning the art of living it.

Geez so we have now gone from Porn to Buddhism in one string !! How off topic is that...Sorry for all you out there who were hoping for a porn related post but i'm all porned out !    ???

I read this article in the Standard last night, Seems that the TG's were plucked for their paddy fields and told they would  earn as much in one day as they they would in a month in the UK working as cleaners !!! I can only surmise that they obtained Visas based on a false cleaning company set up in the UK by the two Meat counter bints !!!  

There was only two pictures in the Evening standard which showed the two women who were running the show. There wasn't any pictures of the victims.

Sad story.
