Chivas

Clear from the comments already that there is no definitive answer You potentially take your life in your hands with a one way ticket and no visa (or maybe even with a visa) Yes I acknowledge you could walk away from check in and buy one of these onward reservations but sure as hell its going to be scrutinised to hell once you return to check in because they're not stupid and know exactly that they are

Yes and I've mentioned more than few times before that I was in severe danger of being offloaded on Emirates when in 2007 I was using the return portion of a BKK-LON-BKK (so effectively now one way) without having an advance Visa....had to sign indemnity over potential rejection at Bangkok Clearly some airlines more strict than others This was only the first time since I had arrived one way so was trying to stay on the ball

I was looking for the original thread on this but am scrolling back indefinately Been much chatter lately about having an ticket out of the country when arriving. Whilst I had an Evisa in advance the check in agent at Etihad didnt even look at it at Heathrow. It was a folded A4 sheet and she just handed in back (think she thought it was probably their own Eticket print off) without looking I could have been on visa exempt because clearly at least Etihad are not bothered about one way tickets On an aside quickest I've ever had in the air on a 2 sector flight just 6.05 and 5.17 from London with a bonus I got upgraded on both legs as overbooked

lol unbelievable People simply dont read before jabbing their response!

I just sent a side savings account from Chase Bank (London Embassy) Think it had £2800 in it at the time So it was the current date and current value

PersonallyI think the one I've got is fine anyway as at most I use it down the beach for an online radio app At Hotel obviously via Wifi anyway for live TV etc etc

So we're talking 00.01 on Sunday 29th till 23.59 of the same day ??

The websites relating to AIS DTAC Truemove simply dont have listed these fabulous 200 baht deals at insane speeds that some claim to exist

Add yours no matter what network (JJ or whatever alias you're using this week play nicely) I was somewhat astonished to find that my "always on" Short Code on True Move was stiill available nearly 4 years since I last used it.....i had used it for at least 6 years before that as well Now according to most it wont be competitive at 200 Baht plus vat for the month as the speed gets throttled after first 1GB of data (fair enough I agree) but amazingly few ever put up alternatives on any networks So to be clear we are talking stand alone month by month deals not yearly from Lazada or whatever its called *900*1801# then "call" Thats gets you a 30 day always on connection on True Will be delighted if others come up with superb alternatives....

Bladder cancer will get a few including myself First had it aged only 42 The day when you go for a pee and suddenly see a flow of claret will make the toughest guy go weak at the kees lol (its the unexpected factor that will make you shake lol)

Yep I'd go along with some of that Thailand is not a place to be when health starts to deteriorate alarmingly.....if you're strugging financially within the UK then you'll still struggle in Thailand when the health costs mount. Visa requirements etc etc etc The basics are still very cheap in Thailand but go "off-piste" per se and they rise quickly Only my opinion I acknowledge others will disagree

Out of interest because more than a few on all media seem to think State Pension is tax free Its not It forms part of "income" which when it exceeds the annual tax allowance (and is outside of tax wrappers) is very much taxable HMRC have plenty of experience over collection lol

Correct

You'll need to do exactly what I intend to do at 90 days and a land border run

I agree and it what I've always assumed but assumption is a dangerous motherfu**** as Saddam found out to his cost ! @RayC makes the point re Embassy website onward requirements

I didnt notice your post Thats exactly what I'm referring to in the above post of mine

I'm bemused with the Embassy website. As per earlier post I applied and was given 60 day visa with an upload of a one way ticket The website itself however clearly states onward tickets are required but only under a blanket heading for want of a better description I always thought (and still do) that a one way ticket inbound when you have an advance tourist visa is fine. Visa exempt entry and its not fine and 16 years ago I had the problem on Emirates trying to do just that. I signed an indemnity in the end and they let me board I really dont want to be having an arguement at check in at Etihad and for the $16 it seems your suggestion might be a good idea Correct me if I'm wrong but they need to be applied for 24 hours before wheels up as they expire at the 24 hour point ?? Or as you say step away from the counter ??

I think you'll need a visa of some sort if you're going without the return flight already sorted Embassy granted my tourist visa of 60 days with only the upload of a one way flight If you only try the visa exempt entry on a one way you run the risk of being offloaded at check in

Well in light of being a patsy to the Yanks one can only hope that they turn up on time for the next World War after being late for the first two.....................................

Further to my post earlier in the thread I opened couple online accounts with Chase and Kroo some time ago I had to upload just the driving licence via the app plus the selfies bollacks but nothing else for both My brother who is not on the electoral role had to upload some financial documents that proved he lived at his address (he is living with his partner in her house) He couldnt supply what they wanted so they declined his application with Chase

Spot on Its the constant red flagging of themselves which does leave me scratching my head at times

All the banks to my knowledge need proof of address in the UK Normally its something like a Driving Licence and a Utility bill for example Again this comes back to keeping several accounts active and not burning our bridges with a little churning annually to avoid the shight hitting the fan as you're experiencing

...and definately in hindsight the set up online is quicker and easier @VBF Once you've done it once (and know the way they want it presented) its definately better

correct

I'm genuinely not laughing (obviously) but whenever I hear these stories I immediately go back now 21 years and the story of the British bloke having sex with a Goat in front of train passengers on the Bridlington line near Hull The Sun newspaper article seems to have been removed from Google but the judge had remarked that the Goat must have been in some distress at the time Some wit in the Sun comments section had added "I dont suppose the train passengers were over thrilled" ???? Another added "I suppose he'll now have to go on the sex offenders register" ???? https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/mar/14/martinwainwright
