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?

try completely uninstalling and do a fresh install. the update option always causes me problems.

Is it when reading from one drive only?

Ok so good news on flights. Thanks for the heads up guys. What about changing money over? Any good advice to help me get the most out of it please?

Cheers

change with a friend/workmate and split the difference.

details of where you are, and of any hoops you had to jump through would be good.

why register, no need.

All the places you are visiting are amongst the nicest/safest in the UK. you should not have problems, have your family arrange a car to collect from the airport,

Travelodge are a cheapish motel group, cheap rooms suitable for 2+2children are available, the earlier you book the cheaper they are.

have a great time and don't worry,the UK is safe, just be aware of what is going on around you, same as most places in the world.

evaair are doing open returns about 33,000baht 3 month open.

where in the uk are your family?

what do you have in your passport a 'visa' issued at an embassy/consulate in another country or a one year extension of stay issued at immigration?

You will need 30 years contributions, for full pension.

are you coming up to retirement age? are you thinking of claiming as a married man?

if so lite beer post #2 answered that question.

Or do you just want to notify the uk government you are now married?

your wife could be entitled to a UK pension in the future based on your contributions.

if they are insisting on a return ticket just buy a cheap throwaway/refundable ticket

a friend of mine had the form endorsed by a solicitor, that was for uk pension,

Wish you luck.

First trip go there on a tourist visa double entry. While you are there get married in Thailand. Put 400,000 Baht in a bank account in Thailand. Keep the rest of your money in the UK.

Leave Thailand go back home and apply for a Non Immigrant O visa. Then apply for an extension of stay one year at a time when you are in Thailand. If you are lucky enough to get a job then you can get a work permit while you are on a Non Immigrant "O".

Failing that if you do not want to put 400, 000 Baht in a Thai account. When you go back home AFTER you get married in Thailand get a Non Imm "O" Multiple entry. With you will have to leave the country every 90 days. Road trip to a land crossing will do the trick. This will do you for 15 months if you time the exits and entries correctly.

Remember when you back to the UK for your Non Immigrant "O" Visa take your original Marriage Certificate and a copy of your new wife’s Thai ID card. Better still get her to change the name on it after you get married.

Best of luck... remember 40000 sterling will not last forever and you are only 37. Maybe you could start some sort of business when you are there (not entertainment). In any case you need to give some thought to long term income.

why leave Thailand to obtain a non immigrant 'o' visa, after marriage a 60 day visit Thai wife extension could be obtained, that would give the 400,000baht time to season, then a one year extension of stay based on supporting Thai wife could be applied for.

a one year multi entry non immigrant 'o' visa could also be obtained in kuala lumper, with 100,000 baht in bank account, if that route is followed.

No problem with a thai passport near to expiry, does she also have a uk passport?

RussBKK

To give you some breathing space get a 60day visit thai wife extension from immigration cost 1,900 baht.( form tm.7)

then if you still have money shortages, Kuala Lumper will issue as other posters have said a one year multi entry non immigrant 'o' visa, which will allow 15 months in Thailand with 90 day border runs,

I know its not perfect, but its a solution that will allow you to stay here.

It would seem the thread has been hijacked by people with calculators

Is Mumbai or Delhi better? or are they both as bad as each other

Eva air have a special offer on 31300baht 1 month stay, and 33300 3 month stay, see here - http://www.saveflights.com/

i have been quoted 34750baht for a 3 month open return flying out early april, by mtt see here - http://www.mtt-pattaya.com/

I have also been looking at the cheaper airlines as you have listed and after doing some reading kingfisher came out on top but who knows? i would prefer one of emirates, Qatar or etihad, but they are all looking at high 30,000's

did a quick check for late Feb , for 21 days Qatar were showing at 33,00baht see here - http://matrix.itasoftware.com/view/flights?session=979916af-85e5-4d03-8e3e-219b55739856

good luck which ever way you choose
