I recently went with missus to submit biometrics at Dusit Thani in Pattaya. Was 4,500B and I guess it just saves an all day trip to BKK. We were in and out in 20min. 6 days later, get notification that visa application has been a successful. As its an eVisa, no need to submit passport. Then had to go through a long winded process to link the visa to UKCI account before viewing eVisa. Just not sure what to do next, they seem to be asking to get a share code, is this necessary as she will be just visiting friends?

OK, will try starting with their website, any links?

So am thinking of applying for UK visa for my Thai wife, the VFS sounds the way to go. What is the first step in the process?

Do witness have to be Thai or can be foreigners?

I am considering doing the opposite-going from retirement to marriage visa. So am in Pattaya, have the 800k and just looking to free up 400K. Just renewed my retirement visa, so have time to consider pros and cons. How long does the process take, and how long before my retirement visa expires should I start the process?

Will they pay UK state pension directly into your Thai Bank account?

So I entered Thailand mid Dec, got 60 days, which expires soon. Plan was to extend for 30 more days and then leave. Now I have a health issue that needs immediate attention, likely an operation in a few weeks and a period of time recovering that will overshoot the runway even with the 30 day extension. So is it possible to go onto a medical visa and what are the ins and outs of the medical visa?

So I understand about being able to stay only 90 days. Say someone leaves after staying 90 days, how long to they need to stay out before revisiting on a multi entry Schengen visa?

Way too much flak going Southgate's way but he had to go, one way or another. Keeping him on would have been rewarding failure. The players have to take some of the flak. Pickford hoofing the ball long continuously was just retarded, no top sides ever go down that road. How many times did the Spain keeper go long-none. Its like saying I dont trust the boys in front of me. And why did the like of Rice never show for a pass from keeper? and that set the tone. Severe lack of leadership amongst some senior pros. Can blame game plan, but as the game develops, leaders lead on the park.

Come on Scotland, a win tonight and they go to next round, extend party for outstanding fans.

Trophy day at Paradise today, what an occasion, would love to be there. Glasgow will be green and white today Hail hail.

Absolutely love the way big Ange takes no crap from the gutter press reporters, was the same in Scotland

Half way into the season and a tad underwhelmed, despite last few positive results. CL and League cup tame exits, dropping too many points to teams that we should be scudding. Mainly due to a shambolic transfer window-9 players in and none have grabbed their chance, Bernardo showing quality lately. We spend 7M on 2 center halfs only to deem Scales and Welsh better options. WTF? Jota not replaced, despite Palma making an initial impact, he has looked bang ordinary lately. Mooy replaced with Bernardo, who is looking the part lately, suspect if he continues this form, that 6M fee will be a no brainer. Scales has done himself proud with his displays so far, so not a downgrade on Starfelt. Overall, we are reasonably well sorted at center half. Our midfield is functioning reasonably well and with 3 out of Cal, Reo, Bernardo and the outstanding Matt, we should be fine till next transfer window, as long as, God forbid, we don't sell any of them. Both full backs have regressed under the BR system, Benny looks well out of the picture. Big Joe is just hanging in there, should be adequate till seasons end-always risky to change keeper mid season but need an upgrade. Up top, Yang and Palma have shown flashes, both young. Abada back will be a massive positive and should see Maeda return to the left, looks all at sea recently, suspect a tad rusty and having to play RW. Kyogo frustrates me, does so little during game and then nicks a goal, OH not clinical enough. If we bring in the proper players this window, we will win the league. If we dick around with young, midget, projects, kiss bye bye to CL coin. We need to bring in a few proven players that will have an instant impact. A striker and LB are priority, keeper can wait till next window. I say this every window, but shifting the deadwood non contributors will be the biggest challenge, as there are about a dozen. A set piece coach also, we continue to be so poor at set pieces both ends, there was a game a few weeks ago we had 23 corners and apart from one Scales header, threatened zero.

A poor performance at Fir park masked over by end result and other results. We were at nothing for most of the game, failing to test keeper, Bain dug us out with a few decent stops with his feet and then all hell breaks loose in the last 10 min. Unbelievable last few minutes, total snatch and grab job. Fair play to the boys for keeping at it, when it looked a done deal at 1-1. Phillips got some badly need game time, looked rusty but we need a big performance from him mid week, with Lager suspended, we are down to bare bones center half wise. Big test mid week with the Romans coming to town.

Reading between the lines, you have pissed them off and this is their way of getting back at you-and maybe even trying to extract some coin from you. Insinuating that they dont know what they are doing, getting mad at them and the cardinal sin of bringing your wife, suspect she may also have said something sarcastically to them in Thai. I just dont understand why people bring their wife with them to do retirement visa, the officers speak good English and I know for a fact, it pisses them right off too. Just be careful, they may try stitch you up, make sure your ducks are in a row.
