It won't be a surprise to see the expected names like Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton; but it will be interesting if Trump features heavily!

Pattaya's great for girls (or boys or ladyboys) and fun, and the beach/sea has improved a lot. What's not to like?

Presumably you will be fully compensated by Jetstar? Not really Immigration's fault.

Thanks for posting. I look foward to @Tony M or @theoldgit comments. It does seem unfair that if you have demonstrated that you, as her sponsor, have the funds to support her for the duration of her visit (3 months 29 days) why her income is relevant.

It seems a little strange that, although I've seen the savings option mentioned, the new amount doesn't seem to have been announced.

If the salary threshold is increased to nearly £38,000 that will have already been achieved.

America.

No, it's for foreign spouses/dependants.

As @Tony M suggests, can we see the redacted refusal notice? It might be very useful to other BMs in a similar position.

Where are all the death penalty advocates? Hmmm.

Where is the bread sauce?

I always use E20 as it was recommended by the manufacturer.

Not if your visa is still valid; however, in practice most visas have a limited period of validity. Once the visa is no longer valid, you don't need to carry the old passport. .Not to be confused with Extension of Stay stamps (not visas) which can and need to be transferred by Immigration to the new passport.

The letter is no longer issued and is no longer required.

Hopefully the backlash (and the forthcoming election) means it will never go through. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/17/legal-action-planned-over-uk-cruel-income-threshold-visa-rules

I asked a similar question earlier - but perhaps not surprisingly, no answer!

Christmas is about 'giving' gifts, not receiving them. Don't be such a Scrooge!

Can you provide details? Was it from U-Tapao and how much was it (one-way or return)? Cheers.

Gold, always gold.

I'm not holding my breath.

Not if she was a prostitute.

Not likely to be any seatbelts in the back of a pick-up!

So everyone in Chiang Mai is going to die from the dust? Chiang Mai has horrendous air quality at certain times of the year - it's not too bad at the moment. But Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin and pretty much everywhere in the North/East all have it as well. We're all going to die!
