If she is not settled in uk, then she will need a schengen visa,

Under eu freedom of movement you should be able to travel in europe if you have your marriage certificate and translation, but this is a bit hit and miss, depending on the person and if you want to argue the toss with french immigration, i would apply for a schengen ast the french embassy in bangkok, to be safe

Thanks for all the positive helpful reply's,

Yes she has had the police attend on one instance, So that is documented, also the two trips to Pattaya alone leaving her in the UK. would that class as desertion.

Does he live there for extended times or is it just holidays, there is no crime going holiday alone, but keeping all evidence builds a picture which is what will be needed if she wants to remain in UK

If abuse is occuring make sure it is reported now, and keep a history

I am going to send my wife's EEA2 application tomorrow and am hoping that the new rules don't apply to us as she already has her family permit?

I am thinking they might refuse it and then I will have to complain again.

The new rules came in on 1st Jan, as you applied under the old rules, you will be ok, but you never know how they handle things at Liverpool, expect a wait of 3-4months

your husband might get it polished now and rhemy, you could look on the bright side and break out of being a prude and use this a great chance to have a threesome with another man and your husband, become a cuckold or hotwife or something like that and your sex life will be improved, your orgasims will be the beast of your life.

I'm afraid the lines between fantasy and reality have become blurred

Well done, at least they reviewed the decision and didn't make you use the appeal process, the EU isn't all bad

Same as everywhere, illegal, but this is Thailand so a lot is possible providing you show dough

Legal in Holland, (by a 3rd party),

Pretty stringent requirements, you better be in a wheel chair with only one eye brow working, where you can actuate some device, ie, Hawking, etc,

Must also be diagnosed as terminal by several physicians, and be of sound mind, etc.

Sound mind, would rule out quite a few Falangs

You can hardly blame people casting assumptions, how many times have you walked around Big C and seen the obligatory fat hairy falang with a 45kg Thai girl. You can't help but find it funny. It's hilarious!

I resemble this remark

Thailand is not a place where i would be upsetting neighbours even if i was in the right, i am surprised your girlfriend hasn't said something. How long have you been living in Thailand?

So the alternative is simple to just back down, even if you are in the right?. No wonder Some Thais think they can get away with anything, if it evolves a farang.

No the same thing would happen to a Thai, And they can wait a long time if needed, Falangs arn't that special, Thais are also victim of corrupt officials, but they know the score before they start anything.

In my observation, local house sets up the "card den", word of mouth spreads, busy all day and night, more so on weekends stopping about 3 am. People coming and going all hours, house takes 10% of every game pot.

This house has been running now for around 7 years, as guess who owns the property?............

C'mon you guess...........local buisnessman?,......Ferangs wife?........nobody special,?.........Policeman?.....Puu Yai baan?

Answer revealed later dependant on how many are interested .

I tick yes to all the above , but it is big business, and for people who think that their wives are only playing for small money,with friends, , friends has a very broad meaning, and you won't see a fraction of the real money that is being used, until it's time to pay, and debts are payed one way or the other.

At least your handsome man status is intact, having her leave you for a more handsome man is something of a bitter pill to swallow. enjoy your holiday

Thailand is not a place where i would be upsetting neighbours even if i was in the right, i am surprised your girlfriend hasn't said something. How long have you been living in Thailand?

She started it.

12 years.

Anything else ?

Well she might have started it, and she might finish it, either way i sleep well. good luck.

perhaps you could start by attracting older falang males(plenty here), You would need to be moving in the rich Thai circles, maybe start looking at some up market karaokes, but i think we need to see photos before we can part with anymore advice.

All the info is on the website, take your time to read it, you can download from the internet, the form needs to be signed by the British embassy, can't remember the fee think it was around 2500 baht, it's freedom to marry.

There has been a lotin the papers here and things are not quite as portrayed, as there seems to be some family members getting their hands on his pharmacy business, it was someone who was being evicted from one of his propertys who made the fist complaint, he also belongs to a minority(ahmadi) sect which are persecuted in Pakistan.

She applies in Thailand, if you use an agent, i suggest you use an' oisc' registered agent, and make sure they are by checking!

Well i feel a little insulted not to be invited into the club, i will have to investigate further, i was aware of girls paying their way through college.

Yes much clearer, the information she used on her 1st application is being used against her, and they do have some valid points, such as stating she had no friends in uk, but can't explain what she was doing, amongst other things, until you can sort these issues out and baring in mind they also have the information in her last application, i think you will need expert advice on overcoming these issues for a visit visa, i would take up Tony M''s advice

Ha Ha,

She would have been given a 6 month visa, that could have been reduced by immigration when she landed if they were suspicious, was she working? if she was caught and went back, the she would not have been illegal ,but would have breached her visa conditions, a refusal would never say' we think'

Thailand is a class based system, so it depends on the people you interact with on a daily basis, i have number of friends who are engineers, air traffic controllers etc, they have very middle class lives, children in private school etc etc, these people have very little contact with foreigners, but i believe the saying is .'up to you'.

Not sure what went wrong with my quote, but Scarpolo, i haveThai wife and have been coming to Thailand for 30 years, i simply don't recognize the Thailand you are talking about, it is there if you want it, but it is not in your face unless Pattaya, Patpong, Bangla road are the places you stay, as a normal person going about your life you will not see it, simple.

For a visit visa the reason to return to Thailand is going to be the main issue that ECO are looking at, family ties, children,job, concentrate on that
