I had it done in about 1 hour, but that was 3 years ago, i would get there early, they will give you a rough idea how long it will be at that point.

Most thai women that settle in the uk realise that life is far better for them and don't want to return.

good luck

Spot on snowyy73 - exactly my wife's sentiments.

Perhaps this is true but many guys do not know what might be going on in the background regardless of what sweet stuff they are being told.

Sorry finger and brain trouble, Sadly Transam is correct most blokes do not have a clue as to the real state of their marriage, they believe what their wives tell them. not saying anything against posters here,

Resident cards do not expire they are issued for 5 years(but are not legally required), but if your wife is a visa national then she would be unlikley to board an aircraft with out a stamp. your next step providing you have been exercising treaty rights for the period is apply on form eea4 for permanent residence, if there are reasons why you don't meet the requirments, just apply for another resident card on form eea2. The rules changed last year so that dual british/eu citizens can not make use of this route, but those who had already been on the eea route, can continue. I believe permanet resident is the same as ilr, ie you can be out of the country for up to 2 years without losing it providing you still 'live' in the uk.

I use them for buying and selling silver, as there is no 20% vat as you don't physically hold it. i have not encountered any problems,, i'm based in UK, but that should make no difference.

This is the sort of thing you are looking for, if you have dependants i would just add them and state a figure you pay them, The Thai authorities payed virtually no attention to mine when i married 3 years ago, just another form. they never contacted my referees or checked any of the info. When i took it to the embassy they changed a few words but it was all done in an hour https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/188293/Affirmation_of_freedom_to_marry_in_Thaliand.pdf

There is no Form, just type the info onto A4 paperget the embassy to sign, they charge a small fee

Which school is this and do they require any teachers?

it all sounds like a can of worms to me.

a while ago a 29 year old farang male was asking for advice about relationships with Thai women.

TVF judging panel come down with:

If you don't know by now, you will never know.

Safe to say, all the posters were male.

My wife has gone to get the kids from school. Good afternoon.

Good go and get the dinner on, and set the table

Assuming your post is not just wishfull thinking, how about just being polite with,

sorry i'm washing my hair tonight (and every night for the next 3 months)

sorry i'm a lesbian

Obviously, as we're talking about the UK then we are going to be concerned with dual British and other EEA stat nationality.

The ECG does say

The McCarthy judgment determined that a person who holds the nationality of the host Member State (in our case British nationality) and has never exercised their right of free movement and residence does not benefit from the terms of the Free Movement Directive

(My emphasis)

Looking at the judgement itself (McCarthy Vs. United Kingdom) it seems that it does apply to all those who hold two or more EEA nationalities.

If you don't want to wade through all the legalese in the judgement, here is a summary from Free Movement.

So, assuming I've read all that right then, for example, a person who holds dual German and French nationality cannot use their French nationality and the EEA regulations to bring their non EEA national spouse to live with them in Germany unless they have at some time in their life lived in France.

I think.

What's the Good Friday agreement got to do with it?

This is a two part agreement. Part one between all the political parties of Northern Ireland and part two between the British and Irish governments.

Nothing to do with freedom of movement rights within the EEA.

You are out of your depth Sir, anyone from N.Ireland who holds dual citizenship, and does want to give up their British citizenship(it is the quicker option) should contact an immigration advisor from there. or google eea forum. As i am from said country.

I know a 24 year old waitress/cashier that explained to me how giving change is a science to maximise the tip potential. She judges the look of the customer, the dress, general demeanour, attitude, what they purchase, how they interact with the staff etc, whether they have a car or bike.... and that determines what format the change will be given in.

If the change is 100B, she will vary the denominations given to different customers to extract the highest possibility of increasing the tip potential. She explained the logic but some of the detail was way over my head. One example was that if she assumed the customer was a Baht Bus customer, she would not give any 10B coins if possible, only 20's. If she got good vibes from a customer she would make sure the change contained a 50 and a 10 - expecting a 30 or maybe a 50B tip. She had it all figured out and had her staff giving her feedback on the customer.

Where does she work ?

She sounds quite naughty and in need of a spanking.

I'm not sure this is the place to discuss your fantasies

I'll have to have another look, but thought it only affected dual british/european, i believe i am correct in thinking that there is a challenge to the british/irish rule in light of the good friday agreement.

But have read that quite a few are just dropping the british citizenship. As it makes little difference to living/working in the Uk

Just a point, these rules apply to all dual british/european people not just British /Irish.

Another quality expat,

On the subject of dual british/european nationals, why not renounce your british citizenship and keep you european citizenship, it makes no difference if you live in the uk(few exceptions of course), that way you could could still use european route. not my idea but read it else where

If they got to Europe they would of gone straight on welfare. Good riddance.

What a sad man you are, i doubt these people take these sort of risks if they had a choice, and to cap it all the end up living next to people like you. i just hope you are not from the uk.

I believe that for m/c insurance, any uk company requires you to have passes a uk test and you need to make sure and read the small print (eg wear helmet all the time) or they won't pay out

Are you saying this cutie took a shine to you after/around the time she put in her notice, either way my suggestion and i'm not a bitter man you understand is

Take all you money out the bank and give it to her with your house keys, it will save you a lot of time and effort in the long run.
