Thanks You can close the thread if you want....thanks for replying

Excellent thank you.....

In the past I have never stayed beyond 60 days in one trip....hard up against it many times via SETV etc but not exceeded (I did have one days grace overstay last Xmas day but thats it) Simple question. Firstly I dont want to do it myself for a myriad of reasons. If you walked back Soi 5 immigration as I do often its utter chaos. I read of sitting around for hours and often told come back next day to my mind madness Agents all seems to charge roughly same price (no issue with cost) Question because wasnt convinced the Thai Visa place quite understood my final brief question When is it prudent to take passport and photos etc to them. I explained it didnt expire to early December but she insisted you can come anytime prior to that Is that accurate ?? She seemed switched on to be fair. 5 minutes walk in with me and back out again she said all sorted Does the 30 day extension (if granted) follow on from existing expiry date or from when you actually go in ?

I'll never understand why so many appear to have problems with Wise 7 days a week no matter what if I send monies it lands in SCB before I've even had a chance to click on the Wise icon "I've sent my monies" I wonder if its the method I use. Simple bank transfer from my bank to Wise. No Credit cards debit cards no money sitting in Wise accounts or any variation of it RBS to Wise to SCB......3 seconds all completed

I walk past that place probably 3 or 4 mornings a week it looks an absolute nightmare I dread the the thought of going without having an utter clue as to whats the process I actually only yesterday emailed an agent to sort out my 30 day extension when its due rather just pay the additional

DWP systems were fully interlined with Passport Control in December 2023 DWP with one click can see I departed UK on October 9th (they'd have no reason to enquire) with a final destination of Thailand Until Passport Control notify them its been further activated (if its being requested) then they know exactly where I am (or you) etc If you are on watched list the minute you check in from overseas to return to UK then the moment the passport is scanned at check in then a reception committee is organised at the landing port of call Again I have first hand experience of the latter in 2014 totally unrelated to what I posted earlier The UK government knows exactly what country you are in (but not exact location obviously) 365 days of the years 24 hours a day

Any recommendations ?? Looking really for something older like a Honda Jazz Toyoto Yaris that sort of sized car On a private site they were somewhat lower than I expected and was mentioned elsewhere 2nd hand prices had dropped this last 12 months (I have no idea as not looked previously)

95.000 it was I saw it on one of the sites were people advertise privately THought it was priced to low myself

You guys are getting bent out of shape over this and more to the point seem to be oblivious over what our Government and other official bodies know about us routinely I have every reason to know thats accurate.......for reasons I'm not going into but those said officials in the UK even knew what tiny clinic I was born in West Germany island of Sylt (I'm British) despite myself never knowing it or my parents ever mentioning it.....not (obviously) on birth certificates or anywhere.......when for the first time I raised a wry smile and the guy said do you want to know the colour of your first babygro I'm not remotely joking Background checks run on 75% of Brits routinely without us every knowing or any action taken Rest assured if you're in Thailand (or anywhere overseas) it takes the DWP 30 seconds to validate and in which country It all comes down to "resources" and is it worth going after the individual. 99% of the time it isnt

i can assure you that they've always had that "aquiring information" facility and I'll leave it at that lol I suspect with the new act they wont need a magistrates or judges direction as they do currently and thats the difference Should be noted that the DWP are not going to go willy nilly into peoples bank accounts who are not in receipt of "state benefits" per se Pension Credit or Housing Benefit blah blah blah This act is mainly aimed at those on benefits and not entitled to them albeit this frozen pension dedection is a step too far Should also be remembered this frozen pension bit has been like it for 70 years.....i

I dont believe any of the hype that its a staged fight with a staged outcome Quite simply if Tyson catches him in the 1st round then its quite simply lights out

So after the 2nd 3rd 4th time............................why did you continue to use them (I have absolutely no idea what you were actually trying to say anyway)

On an aside Britain currently provide £13.3 Billion annually in overseas aid to countries that even have space programmes Yet lets crucify pensioners living abroad where the "fraud" is estimated at £100 million which is roughly 1/130 of that overseas aid total Not having a pop at Labour or Conservatives per se

I wonder how much I've saved using agents for 164 round trips London Bangkok London ! Only 8 booked direct Never the slightest issue with agents quite the opposite superb service always Unlike 2 of the 8 times I booked direct Probably mimimum of £10.000 I saved and then some
