  1. With respect, I cannot agree with you. Register the divorce with which UK authority ? As I said in an earlier response, the OP has not explained what his "divorce paper" is. Depending on whether it was a court registered divorce or a District Office divorce, then it will be legal and only needs translating into English by a certified translator. I do not see, nor have I experienced, in 15 years of assisting in UK visa applications, any application that was a "non-starter" because a divorce was not registered with the UK authorities.
  2. No, it doesn't. The time spent in UK is calculated on a "rolling" 12 months. So, if someone enters the UK on the 1st January for 30 days, then the total time in UK, between Jan 1st and Dec 31st will be the calculation of time spent in the UK in 12 months. If that person doesn't re-enter UK until November, then that will be the start of the next rolling 12 months, and the time spent in UK from November until the next October will be the 12 month calculation. I know that might be confusing, but it is the total time spent in UK in any rolling 12 month period that the Border Force officer will be looking at.
  3. Its about time this thread was locked. It serves no useful purpose. The OP does nothing more than we have seen in the US election hate postings (by both sides). Lock the post, and ban the author. He is, currently, a dreadful troll..
  4. Hopefully this idiot will ban everyone, and end up talking to himself.
  5. That's all you have to offer ? You really don't have any idea what you are posting about. Who mentioned ratings (what ratings ?) and deletions (deletions of what ?) ? The agent is well known in Pattaya, and also on this forum (previously having been a sponsor of the forum). If you have any evidence that he is not a qualified, successful, UK government approved visa advisor, then let's have it. Otherwise, you are just wasting oxygen.
  6. Maybe yes, maybe no. On what do you base your statements ? The OISC registered agent, that I mentioned, has a 100% success rate in UK settlement visa applications since 2010. To back up this statement, I invite anyone who can show differently to post here. Can you give me some stats for lawyers ?
  7. OISC members are more than "I can do" alleged visa agents. This might help you: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulations-that-immigration-advisers-must-follow--2/regulations-that-immigration-advisers-must-follow Interestingly, lawyers in the UK do not need ANY immigration experience at all in order to give immigration advice: No additional formal qualifications are technically required beyond being a qualified lawyer However, most immigration lawyers will: Take specialized immigration law courses Gain practical experience through supervised work Join professional bodies like the Immigration Law Practitioners' Association (ILPA) Regularly attend continuing professional development (CPD) courses to stay updated Some may pursue additional certifications in immigration law So, it might be better to use an OISC regulated advisor who has taken, and passed, examinations, and is audited annually, and is accepted by the UK government as competent.
  8. Basically, yes, but there some qualifications. You should seek advice from a licensed immigration advisor or lawyer in the UK, or from an advisor in Thailand who is registered with the OISC in the UK (a UK government approved immigration advisor). There are a couple of OISC registered advisors in Thailand, and one is in Pattaya - Thai Visa Express.
  9. She can apply for a marriage settlement (fiancee) visa, to marry you in the UK. After marriage she can apply, in the UK, for Further Leave to Remain as a spouse. Without knowing what kind of stock portfolio you have, it's not possible to say whether it is acceptable to meet the financial requirement or not. If you have to sell the stock portfolio, in order to turn it into "cash savings", then subject to certain conditions it can be used as cash savings immediately. If you have documents showing that you are divorced, then that should be okay, but it depends on how the "divorce" was carried out. A "divorce paper" may or may not be sufficient. The amount of cash savings required is 88,500 GBP. You haven't said if you receive any pension(s) or "benefits" (due to health issues), but that could change the level of cash savings required. With respect, your post is a bit too vague to give exact advice.
  10. They were probably getting out of the rain.
  11. That was posted in July 2021. Why is the OP posting it now ?
  12. Thank you. I wonder why they are doing that ? Its sort of unusual, isn't it ?
  13. The police in Jomtien have handed out the attached to bars along Jomtien Beach Road. It seems to say that alcohol cannot be sold from 4 pm to midnight today, tomorrow and Wednesday ? or maybe it says they are carrying out inspections ? Inspections of what ?
  14. You bowed to him ! I'll make that a question - you bowed to him ?
