MS Office LTSC versions are one time lifetime license and update with service patches as needed to always up to date. Very cheap to buy or free methods also available. Doesn't have all the functionality of MS Office 365 subscription service, but not everyone needs that.

Living proof why being allowed to vote doesn't always work out for the better of humankind.

Can a so called 'world leader' be any more unhinged with a celebratory exclamation mark. He thinks its going to be all about him!

Likely because they cannot find anyone not as thick as a sack of bricks to fill the slots? Key universities benefit from reserving slots for foreign nationals because it fosters diversity, global perspectives, and innovation. International students bring unique cultural and academic experiences, enriching classroom discussions and research. This global exchange enhances the university's reputation, attracts top talent, and builds networks that drive collaboration and economic impact. For example, in 2023, international students contributed $40 billion to the U.S. economy and supported 368,000 jobs. Prioritizing only domestic students risks insularity, limiting exposure to global challenges and reducing competitiveness in an interconnected world. But when you are isolationist and as dumb as a sack of bricks, thats hard to grasp.

Lets not lie. It's a case of follow the money, and its flowing out of the US in droves at the moment. #Isolationism.

For himself in case that passed you by. No conflict of interest perhaps?

Seem to be a few on this forum.

Think you'll find its only the US who is currently obsessed with the US.

So what happened in the end? Get a new pp yet?

Yes, once the credit is used up, if you even get access to it on Teams, there will be no way to top up.

I asked about Teams dial pad availability after May 2025 for existing Skype credit users, and was told by Microsoft's AI Co-Pilot it will roll out in phases, so there could be a gap whilst waiting of having no dial pad when Skype ends and waiting for it on Teams. Co-Pilot then went on to cheekily offer recommendations of alternative VoIP services to use during the gap period!

Please keep us updated kind sir how this turns out for you. Some of us are applying like you later in the year and next year.

I agree it is a shambles ! Blamed partly on the move from Liverpool to Corby but it goes deeper than that, losing your passport has to be the ultimate f### up !! What next ? Presumably they are fast tracking a new passport for you ? Unless I am mistaken @kidneyw is not saying he lost his passport but the UK is asking for lost passport forms to be completed for some mistaken reason on the UK side? I assume he applied normally through VFS, showed his real pp, still holds it and sent off copies and everything else as verified by VFS.

When we only got 15 days visa exempt, 7 days extensions and thought nothing of 100THB/d overstays. Not my first visit, but the older passport was stolen before scanners became a thing.
