You are correct at age 20 he has no right British citizenship either by adoption or descent, you need to be under 18, so he would remain Thai and would need to follow travel rules that Thais do

TRUMP SAVES THE US EMPIRE, OR MAYBE NOT There are a number of reasons for greater Israel is one but there are other important aspects 1/ BRICS to maintain dollar hegemony BRICS must be destroyed Venezuela and now Iran 2 important brics nations, what are Russia and China going to do if Iran falls likley not many other countries will be rusing to join. 2/ The most important part as the World power, the US must weaken rivals, the US must make IRAN fall, with Iran 'fallen' this makes Russias underbelly weak, think of the proxy Ukraine war now the US and west can use those Azabjaan etc etc countries to have in Ukraine type issues this in the long term will keep Russia busy in the cost to manpower and the cost of many mini wars, AND the more important one CHINA, it gets most of its oil from Iran and middle east if the US controls the supply well great also Iran is importanr to Chins for its belt and road initiative a seamless supply route from China to Europe disrupt this well!

The important issue is that the English translation of any Thai rules and regulations are simply guidance and if not useless, only the original Thai script rules count in any dispute, having just gone through an issue(not the LTR) turns out the english version was nonsense, the Thai version actually helped me, so it is going to depend on any Thai dealing with the next 5 year of the visa, as it will be up to them to decide what the written rules requires, i have no doubt that there will be variations, trying to quote an english print out will be simply brushed aside.

LOL That is nothing but AI generated rubbish, the current state is nothing is going through the straits ReutersMaps and charts of the Iran crisisThe United States and Israel launched their most ambitious attacks on Iran in decades.Commercial shipping can not get insurance so they will not ship through there the US is not escorting anything through there

Regional Restrictions: There are reports of Halifax not posting cards to specific countries (e.g., Thailand) or closing accounts for non-UK residents in certain jurisdictions due to post-Brexit regulatory changes Restricted Delivery: In certain countries outside the EU, such as Thailand, users have reported difficulty receiving physical cards or being told their accounts must be closed if they are no longer UK residents. I found that on a quick search on google, it has no source though, so might be rubbish

It all depends on who you worked for in the UK and were they 'contracted out' i had to pay additional 3 years to get a full state pension. making 42 years of contributions, if you use the government gateway portal, it would show how many years you have paid. how many additional years you need to buy, and the reason why you need more than 36 years

No copies given they were in Thai, just brought out and told to sign about 6 of them, 2 signed copies of passport bio page, and current extension in passport agai signrf in blue ink, they provided all the photocopies, i did not say a word as this was done at a branch which was not the one i opened it at, i was expecting them to say go to the branch you opened the account.

China just needs to watch and learn, it is in it for the long term, watch the US spend trillions it doesn't have on another war it can not afford. remember every empire falls and the cause of that is its, financial collapse first then military colllapse. Just look at the increasing deficit at some point all those trillions added every year will come home to roost

I was asked to get a fit to fly certificate at Suvarnabhumi when i turned up for a flight limping, i had twisted my ankle a few days before, Thai check in said it was to make sure i could get out the aircraft by myself(i was travelling alone) they sent me to the medical centre which was close to domestic arrivals, they saw me and said fine signed the form, if you are any way infirm i suggest getting one

My bank (Bangkok Bank) noticed my passport number had changed a few months ago, this meant a new pass book, photo copies of current stamp, about 6 other bits of paper to sign took about 20 minutes

For the bank the non o and a cor should be enough for a bank account though i have seen a few reports of the bank wanting one, yes the lease must match your other documents for the bank account, it took me 9 visits to various banks to get one opened a few years ago

Every bank in Thailand operates to its own interpretation of the law and each branch will have its own ideas even down to the person you are dealing with, that said a 90 day non o and a cor from imigration with a lease should be enough to open a bank account, you will just have to visit a few until you meet someone helpfull

Once a TV is out of warranty throw it away, the cost of repair to an old tv does not make financial sense, bought a TCL last year to replace a LG and very impressed, bought at homepro where you can see the its performance against other brands

Sorry to hear of your problems, good job i am not moving there, my blood pressure could not handle it, nor my patience. for sure after that i would be having a holiday in my home country

Yes true, the link below shows what you have to provide to get free health care https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-nhs-when-you-return-to-live-in-the-uk

I read she had his travel records, i remember last year thousands of families lost their child benefits as their travel records showed their children leaving the UK but the system did not log them in on their return, the first the knew about it was when the benifits stopped It would seem this has now been actioned by the NHS if you look at the NHS guidlines it states that you should tell your GP and you are taken off the list if leaving for more than 90days, when you return to be a resident you re register, the question have they been taking people off the lists who have maybe been gone years?. I expect it will not be long before some find their pensions frozen based on their immigration records

Thanks for the report, i am sure many did not know this, i did not, so those who have been out of the UK for 90 days need at a time. lose their right to free NHS treatment and have to qualify again, very interesting that they see to have access to peoples immigration records, so those people who have just given a relatives address as their own, and return months years later, can expect the same treatment, idid look it up on google and it does say if you leave the country for 90 days or more you are supposed to tell your GP and you are removed from their list, and you have to register again when ypou return, This is going to be a big issue for many planning to return to the UK for treatment. Hope you are feeling better and all the best

I tried last year to sign up for the YOU.GOV ONE in order to sign up you need to upload your passport or UK driving license then take a selfie and you only get 3 chances before you are blocked the help line number only worked mon-fri i can not remember if you need a UK address or not

HMRC and all governemrnt services are moving to YOU.GOV ONE, though you should be able to log in with Gateway if you opened your gateway a while ago, but it will be fully integrated into the all one service including driving licenses etc https://www.gov.uk/guidance/accessing-hmrc-online-services-using-govuk-one-login

From the Thai London embassy Document indicating current location - Applicant’s local utility bills (shows your name and address) e.g. electricity bill/ gas / mobile phone / rental agreement. สถานเอกอัครราชทูต ณ กรุงลอนดอนSpouse and Family Visa - สถานเอกอัครราชทูต ณ กรุงลอนดอน

I do not need an inducement i have all the correct documents, BUT i have 1st hand experience how 'strange requests' can be asked for, i have been here full time 6 years, and before that would come 3 times a year since late 1980's and it was Thai friends who suggested a way around a possible situation, this is not about bribing an officer, clearly a bunch of flowers and a fantastic smile( i do still have some teeth) could be taken the wrong way. and if it does not work i can leave with the fruit basket myself, either way i leave immigration with something

We all know how immigration can be!, while things went very smoothly last year, the previous year when i transferred my visa to a new passport it was 5 hour nightmare, a simple 10 min job became an ordeal. So when i mentioned this to Thai friends, they said why did you not take a gift? i laughed but they were serious, so you think i should take a fruit basket this time trying to imagine myself in immiigration with a massive fruit basket, mmmm we meant a small gift like a pen will help. Any way i am still mulling it over, but in a few months if you see someone sitting in immigration with a fruit basket you know who it is.

I believe they no longer have to courier the applicationa to the UK the info is now scanned at VFS and sent directly to UK, when you applied did you get a DHL tracking number if you did then my info is wrong

Unless you have been striped of your British citizenship you can not be denied entry into the UK, the issue some may find for eg if you are say a Australian/British citizen and you want to enter UK on your Australain passport you need to fill an ETA before boarding and the system will not let a British citizen fill it in, there will be greyed out fields so no ETA no flight, iguess there are security features so if you lie on the ETAand get past it, then it is likley the will show at immigration in the UK so expect an interview why you lied about being a Britias citizen
