  1. Would love to send my son there as it is local. But the fees are prohibitively high!
  2. That, I can understand! But if that was the only reason there are far worse examples.
  3. Trump can't pardon him for his State conviction. If he's pardoned federally he'll be transferred to Minnesota to serve his 23 year conviction.
  4. Yeah, it wasn't so bad. I just wish the queue ,management was better.
  5. Hopefully the rain holds off and it's a fun, happy day, full of love, for all involved.
  6. I arrived at peak time on 1 May. It took well over 30 minutes to get through.
  7. Why do the Telegraph and Mail have such a thing for Gary? Just because he's a liberal or because he played for Spurs?
  8. It is technically illegal, but also standard practice. I've been teaching here for 20+ years and every school I've worked for has expected new teachers to start work while their work permit is being arranged.
  9. Fortunately Thailand is moving on. My son's school has just informed us that scout uniforms are no longer compulsory, just a scarf/toggle. No required haircuts either. It's progress.
  10. Er, perhaps you could do with some help from an English teacher!
  11. Has a booster been recommended (I had two shots plus a booster during the pandemic)? If not, I'll not bother.
  12. Those with a wife already in the country and on the path to ILR and citizenship will hopefully continue on the same pathway? Raising the level of English required will make it much more difficult for Brits to get settlement for their Thai partner, as many Thais struggle to pass the current A1 level test.
  13. My wife is not Thai, but I met her in Paris.
  14. I work with westerners so talk with them every day.
  15. Yes. Much easier to do if you're in the UK.
  16. All UK visa decisions are made by UK civil servants working for UKVI. VFS have NO part in the decision making. They just take and check the applications before forwarding them on to UKVI.
  17. Why? Since 1984, UK passports have been issued by HMPO which comes under the Home Office. It has nothing to do with the FCO. HMPO, however, should answer emails!
  18. I think it must depend on the local Immigration Office. I live in Rayong, and they do not require a new TM30 after coming back from abroad. I've had the same one for 4 years.
  19. I'm sure she cares a lot about what you think! 🤔🙄
  20. It's nothing to do with the embassy, so not surprised.
