My Wife has come across something entitled 'Letter of Confirmation' which we should both sign - Thai embassy website. ( I know it says old - but she also has a link from the Vancouver embassy ) http://old.thaiembassyuk.org.uk/pdffile/buyland1.pdf As she bought it in her own name, before we were married I don't think we need it, but apparently "chatter" on Thai websites say we both need to sign it as we're now married. Anybody signed such a document? Regards P

Thanks for that. I already have someone that's offered to buy it - I just want to get the groundwork in if I decide to sell.

Hi Question re selling a condo in Thailand. My Thai wife ( then girlfriend ) and I bought a condo in BKK about 10 years ago( in her name). We subsequently got married and still are. We're looking at selling the condo. Are there any requirements from my side(British) for my wife to sell it - any official documentation required? If so what, and is it better to get it in England or Thailand We currently live in England, but are back to BKK for a few months next month. Thanks in advance. Regards P

My Thai wife - obtained her British citizenship recently. She applied for her first UK passport - which requires additional documents to a simple renewal and a face-to-face interview. The interview they skipped, notified by email. From application(incl' sending her Thai passport ) to receipt of UK passport ( from Liverpool ) it took 4 weeks. This was in the last week. So not too sloppy !!

I applied for 60 day tourist evisa from London last Friday and I got a successful email the following Tuesday morning. ( This week ) It contains a PDF to print out ( same as the evisa site) Cost was £30

That says the 1949 version - according to the UK government website it says THAILAND 1968 https://www.gov.uk/driving-abroad/international-driving-permit FYI - if you go to the Post office website that says 1949 too

I believe there is only one place ( in Silom ). Kasemkij building 8th floor 120 silom rd bangkok 10500 ( Not far from Bangkok Bank main branch ) Appointments to be booked online

We fast-tracked our ILR application ( the one before citizenship ) and it cost us £800 in Feb' 2022. Next day reply. Cheers

My Thai wife, just got her citizenship - her British passport delivered last week ! Does this cover it: ( https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-fm-se-family-members-specified-evidence ) 2. In respect of salaried employment in the UK (except where paragraph 9 applies), all of the following evidence must be provided: (a) Payslips covering: (i) a period of 6 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for at least 6 months (and where paragraph 13(b) of this Appendix does not apply); or (ii) any period of salaried employment in the period of 12 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for less than 6 months (or at least 6 months but the person does not rely on paragraph 13(a) of this Appendix), or in the financial year(s) relied upon by a self-employed person. I know how daunting those forms seem ???? Hope it all goes well. The missus kept a record of most things re requirements and timelines. We went via Croydon(London).

The National anthem is also at 8 a.m. ????

I know an ex teacher who was 65 did the same in Silom... ( and still married )

You really need to get out of your cave - there's a whole world out there ! Since I was 21 I could buy a beer in Thailand between those times - religious hols aside.

I probably go to Pattaya for 30 days a year - never not been sold a beer between 2-5. My favourite time to get out of the sun across the road from Areca Lodge. I used to walk by Witherspoons or whatever it's called people were drinking at 9. In Bangkok CBD where we live - never. Note: This was pre covid

Just watched Trigger point - Series 1, 6 episodes. I guessed the outcome very early on, but Ok if you want to veg on the couch with the missus for a few hours Cast is usual suspects and a few from the past.

At 70 what exactly are you saving for ?

Never buy anything you can't see, feel and touch ????

For my/others interest. Is there any benefit to being to married to a Thai re work permits ? I've had them doing consultancy work, even though at the start I wasn't married to a Thai at the end I was - company used same process. TIA.

This is not Issac Newton's logic(what goes up must come down) - retailers don't tend to reduce their their prices to match conditions ????

Phuket - the new Ko Tao ????

I think you scratched my car too - luckily for you nothing too major - I'll accept 50,000 ????

Not to read rubbish and waste many hours of your life on something that doesn't concern you. ???? Much the same as the Rooney v Vardy case P.S. I didn't read the article, just commented on the title

Should have replaced their heads with farm/reptiles heads - would have looked much funnier...????

Which joker(pun intended) is going to go somewhere for their summer hols for a tan & fun - where they have to wear a mask on the beach and walking outside? They'll come back with a nice tan and white mask around their mouths - they'd be a laughing stock ????

Anyone coming from the West, there's a nice(it's not bells and whistles,but rustic) pub called the Green Man by Hatton Cross station off the A30. Has a large garden and 7 mins to the T1-3 car park Have a drink there as the current T3 parking charges are 5.20 for 29 mins from entry ( considering the queue to get in you have to be L.C. ). Note: I have no association with the above, haven't been in there for the last 15 years, but I was a consultant travelling abroad every 1 to 5 days per week

For someone who is a Crypto /NFT billionaire you should let the rest of the people worry about it. ???? Time is money ????
