    Yes, I did that too. But the OP wants to wait until after he is in the UK before getting his child's UK passport. UK visas are not issued to UK citizens.

    It's better for the children if their parents are married.

    How will your child leave Thailand? If on a Thai passport they will need a UK visa. If UKVI know that the child is British the visa won't be issued. Much easier would be to get the child's UK passport before you travel.

    Maybe posting on a different insurance thread would be more useful as this thread is specifically about "WRLife experiences".

    The women, the woke culture in the UK, Boris Johnson, Brexit - I can think of loads of reasons. I don't really think Thailand is that much cheaper anyway unless you live like a Thai!
  6. brewsterbudgen
    Not many, I would think.

    It's not just rent though, is it? You have to factor in Council Tax, utilities, internet/cable all of which are far more expensive than in Thailand.

    I think Thais enjoy them as they're quite partial to chicken feet, beaks, tendons and bones.

    Thai food can get boring after a while and not everyone is fond of white rice, fish sauce and chilli, not to mention the focus on offal, MSG and added sugar. Much better to eat a variety of international food.

    An orgasm's an orgasm! Some may suppress it (usually those who are protesting most vociferously!) but everyone is capable of being bi and in the right circumstances will go for it. Just look at all those "heterosexual" jailbirds!

    It currently works perfectly!
  12. brewsterbudgen
    No, of course not, but it's too late now, I've had the policy for almost a year.
  13. brewsterbudgen
    True.

    Contact https://www.nacc.go.th/english/contact. It all helps.

    And that's why they're able to do it! ????

    Indeed. Doesn't sound right to me. If correct, I'd imagine loads of people would prefer this to having to visit Immigration.

    Chaengwattana is fairly reliable. I've had my stamps transferred twice, plus done the same for my wife and son and never been charged.

    My broker "assured" me that the fact that I've been taking BP medication for mild hypertension and statins for slightly raised cholesterol for many years, did not need to be mentioned....

    Seems fair enough. No Insurer would still be in business if there were no pre-existing conditions exclusions. As a WRLife policy holder I'm still nervously waiting for the horror stories about them not paying claims or any other issues, but so far it seems to be legit. I have to decide whether to renew in October, or change again!

    Wow. Did you get a "receipt" for the 500 baht?
  21. brewsterbudgen
    It doesn't need to be in her name if she's a child. I used confirmation from my employer, but any bill or maybe a school letter showing the address and the parents' name (translated into English if in Thai) should be fine.

    Like some others, I switched to WRLife last year, following the recommendation of my broker. Looking to move my wife's and son's policies over to them in the next month or so, when their current insurance expires. I have the Serenity plan ($400,000 cover, inpatient only, no deductible) and pay around $1,400 per annum. I'm 62.

    I'm beginning to think Thais just like wearing masks; maybe it's their innate shyness. They just put one on as soon as they go out (maybe they wear them at home too?) and if they're riding a motorbike it's not a reason to remove it. Fortunately, where I live, there doesn't seem to be an adverse reaction to me and my wife being maskless, even in shops like 7-11 or Lotus's. Progress of sorts.

    Indeed. Strange how the Brexiteers now seem to have disappeared from this Forum. A "blue" passport thread like this would have brought them out in droves a few years ago!

    In my experience, UK Embassies tend to be cautious. When my son was stuck overseas due to Covid, his UK passport only had 4 months validity and the Embassy told me "categorically" that he wouldn't be allowed to enter Thailand despite having an Extension of Stay/Re-entry Permit that would expire before the passport. They nearly convinced me to get an ETD. Fortunately, I got advice on this Forum and he wa stamped in as normal.
