Were the covering, sponsors and reasons to return letters not one and the same thing. Could have done it with just that and a bank statement....yours or hers, please?

No separate items.

Covering letter.. sets the scene and covers the 3 key criteria.

Sponsors letter is about me... but reinforces the 3 key areas.

Bank statement....mine, I am the sponsor. Hers have no relevance...

Covering letter.

Sponsors letter.

Bank statement

Additional financial info (probably unnecessary)

Reasons to return letter.

Yes, really. Submitted on a Monday, approved on Wednesday, posted EMS on Thursday, received on Saturday.

I suspect there are far more British Criminals in Spain alone, than EU ones in the UK.

Highly unlikely, but those Costa crooks are putting money into the local economy.

We just got her 5th UK Visitor's Visa. To be on the safe side I included everything, PHOTOS, flight, hotel, insurance, etc. We got the Visa in 10 days no problem. NOW try getting a Schengen Visa............they (Italy) want everything.

Photos, flight/hotel bookings, insurance is not ‘on the safe side’ it is simply superfluous and unnecessary.

Five pieces of supporting paper with my last one...... took 2 days.

I sometimes call it Reg 90 which was an old travel allowance I used to get.

Most of us who use this forum know exactly what is meant and don't find it necessary to nitpick.

No no help whatsoever to those outside the clique.

Waste of time...

Bs. They know why, just cant be bothered changing. Like smokers. They dont want to make the changes.

Agree.

I lost 32 kilos by doing the right things.

I gave back 10 kilos by choosing not the do the right things.

The answer is within my own control, just as it was when I gave up smoking.

Tell your friend to go to the Amphur, they will do the will for him leaving everything to his Thai wife.

I did this everything legal, no need for lawyers, as he will probably find it difficult to find an honest 1.

It will only be in Thai.

He won’t get an English version and I doubt it will cross reference the English Will.

Note for OP...... I hope his English Will was executed after his Thai marriage - otherwise it will be invalid and the Thai wife will inherit everything in the UK. The rules of intestacy will apply.

I used to get a "poached" egg and a couple of the pathongko fried bread at the morning market in Loei.  They put an egg (in the shell) in a small glass and pour on hot water.  In the cold season, the eggs were cold and it took at least 2 if not three changes of water to get an egg that wasn't too snotty.  The locals didn't mind a warm, raw egg I guess.  But it was quick and cheap.

I know that as “kai lua”......used to have 2 of those, 2 coffees (which came with free tea) for about 50 Baht.

They (Camelot) advised me that providing the DD was set up whilst you were physically in the UK, or the IOM, then they will pay out, you’re not allowed to alter it though.

Another army coup on the horizon I fear if this keeps up!

Oh, I do hope so, I quite enjoyed this last one - loads of new roads and no bullsh1t from opposing political parties.

Gotta disagree with you on Kasikorn internet banking.  I've found it to be easy to use and robust.  Some vendors don't take Kasikorn but that's nothing to do with the paradigm.

It is even more pointless when you consider that it is reported that Thailand ?? has 24,237 Road deaths a year.......66 a day on average..

As opposed to faramg  hypocritical righteous indignation?

I don’t think many Farangs were exhibiting righteous indignation.......are you confusing your threads ?

Mmm Even a council "slave" is paid more than £150/week. So who is telling the Porkies? 

Maybe he works part-time.

Even the poles wouldn’t work full time for £150.
