your wife will need to have been in the uk,on the day, two years prior to the application being received, a visit visa will do. remember to satisfy the time allowed out of the country, for ILR.

Eva air are good. I've booked a oneway ticket for the 4th April. Non stop to heathrow for 16,200 baht.

same price here but for the 30th March

At pattaya i only used IDP, no Uk d/l required

look out for cracking on the sidewalls, the tread may last 100,000 K's, but the rubber may not.

I dont think you will find anything much cheaper,i had a look at all the usual places.

I was looking for the same as you for early april, and had to travel on 30th march to get a direct flight at a reasonable price,

I can't even start a new topic. Where did that go? That's why I'm having to tag on to this one.

Also where're the avatars/emoticons, italics etc?

Assuming you refer to "Thailand News" clippings please note members can't start a topic.

READ MY POST AGAIN. I KNOW I can't start a topic in the 'News forum' Duh. We're not ALL thick on this forum, just more than most.

I also KNOW I can add an avatar. (Jesuz) BUT. Think careful now, read my post again. I CANNOT START A NEW TOPIC ON ANY BLOODY FORUM. Geddit? Where's the button gone? My guess is that during your last 'upgrade' your 'new' 'webmaster' bolloxed it all up. Am I wrong?

what a rude person you are, why not ask in a polite manner if you are asking a question, and explain in fuller details what the problem is

go with qatar good airline

OP

is this the first entry on a settlement visa, or a holiday visa?

if settlement, x-ray will have to be shown, i think non eu would be better.

i think the last episode of lost was a double episode,

intelligence a Canadian program, law and order, prison break, house, Californication, entourage, the listener, the good wife, justified. to name a few.

and if a trekkie - Star Trek Enterprise,star trek next generation,Star Trek Voyager,Star Trek Deep Space Nine. and all the stargates.

good viewing

could you not rent a small cheap shop house, register the business at that address, but get work permit to cover both address,

I am no expert just a suggestion!

Yes, I noticed that. However there is a very large difference between the two.

Returning fire means you shoot back at whoever shot at you first.

Responding to gunfire could mean a multitude of actions, ranging from getting out of a chair to actually moving to the source of the gunfire.

The US Navy responded to the shots from the yacht by going to the yacht and taking the appropriate action. It would have been irresponsible for the Navy to shoot back since they did not know what the situation was at the time.

The original poster was disingenuous when he said they "returned fire".

i agree with you

Hmmmmmm, they "returned fire" and after boarding found that the hostages had been "shot by their captors?"

Must be that military RRA - Rapid Response Autopsy - that I read about somewhere...

On another note, I never have had a satisfactory answer to questions along the lines of: how can people rich enough to buy an ocean-worthy yacht and sail around for ten years be so stupid as to sail in such a location?

Reminds me of the American I saw in Mexico who, when Hummers first came out, bought one and fully optionized it - probably had $100k in it. Then he stacked luggage and surf boards and other stuff on top and drove into Mexico. Decided to spend the night in Juarez, a border town known for high crime. Had to take a bus back across the border the next day.

Please advise where you found the statement, "returned fire"?

the quote is here -

"As they responded to the gunfire, reaching and boarding the Quest, the forces discovered all four hostages had been shot by their captors," Gen James Mattis of US Central Command Commander said in a statement.

no mention of 'returning fire', but the word is 'responded'.

The cop was right; don't be a slob, put something on! Even the lowest of the low in Muang Thai at least wear a vest when driving. If you're hot, turn down the aircon or just stay at home if you don't like covering yourself up. Although you were at least in your car, it pisses me off when farang amble around shirtless away from the beach - even if you have no self respect, at least have some respect for the natives and your family. Aren't you at least embarrassed for them?

I second that, the only place for no tee shirt, is on the beach, a lot of western slobs around.

yes you can use the Thai Licence in the UK with an IDP, and also the best thing is you cannot get points on your UK licence !

If driving on a foreign licence, any breaking of uk driving laws will result in a court appearance and not dealt with by fixed penalty, if the court knows you have a uk driving record, that will have points added.

A border run is the only way

what a mess, but i'm sure it could be cleared up, a new passport would be a good start. on entry keep the old boarding passes just in case they find the wifes details on the computer.

Don't keep away from thailand.

I know its online but i just used - www.moxtravel.com to book a flight to the UK, booked on their website, choose to pay at bank, they sent me an invoice by e-mail, paid at local bank ( can choose any bank company), by the time i got home, an e-mail was waiting, with ticket details, checked online with evaair and was able to select seat, a very good efficient service and at a very good price. no charges at bank.

why is your text so big? it is not very pleasant to read

Actually I have previously mentioned the ease with which I got my visa from Birmingham. Worth mentioning again, I think. The speed was the most impressive part.

When I was looking at the Hull, Birmingham and London websites to see where to apply to I chose Birmingham simply because I found I could get there from near London more easily and more cheaply than getting to London, just in case a personal visit was needed. In the end it wasnt, so I was more than happy.

What reason did you give for the multi entry non immigrant 'o'?

I can see on their web site a marriage certificate is required.

where are you richb?
