My Thai Missus turned 45 a couple of days ago. She is a shade over 5 feet and her weight is around 8 stone plus or minus a single kilo. Her eight never varies more than a kilo. We don't eat bread, red meat, or fast food or fizzy drinks. I still enjoy an occasional steak if we eat out. She goes veggy for a few weeks every few months. She is always doing stretching exercises, we also walk a lot and it works for her. Not so much for me!

I'm unable to find it at the moment. I'm hoping one of the professional who know about this can confirm it. I will look further later when we have finished work.

I'm not sure how long ago your wife got her UK passport but the rules were changed a while back and my wife's new passport, (assuming she gets citizenship, of course), will be in her maiden name. So both of her passports will be in her maiden name and she would like them in her married name. They no longer allow a Thai and British passport to have different names. It would have been good to get them changed but it's not a huge problem.

So there is no way that a family member get the necessary change in the Tabien Baan? My wife had her latest Thai ID card supplied by the Embassy in London. It's very frustrating.

If I have put this in the wrong forum please move it. My wife's Thai passport is still in her maiden name and we have always wanted to get it changed to her married name. I can see problems further down the line if we don't get it changed before we apply for her first UK passport after citizenship which will be going in on the 18th May. Can anybody let me know if it's to change her name without being in Thailand and what's involved? Thanks.

No. I am happy to do it myself.

Thanks. She has no entry stamps in her latest passport that was renewed in 2020. I will take her previous passport with us to UKVCAS and upload scans of the stamps. Having said that she only has a single entry into the UK in the last five years and that was returning from a two week holiday to Thailand.

My wife has finally made it to the citizenship stage and I have a query about the proof of living in the UK over the last three years. "Proof of living in the UK for Mrs PK for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen" is what it says on the checklist. It's a bit vague (unlike the previous criteria for her other visas) and I've come up with very little about what is actually required and what I can use. I have annual council tax bills with my wife's name on. Bank statements and also a whole host of Covid test results from the ONS that we have been having since October 2020 where they visited every month. (They were fine for ILR.) Does anybody know what else is required please? TIA.
