  1. Is that statistic for all types of UK visas or just Visitor Visas and is it globally or just Thailand? An 85% success rate is quite encouraging.
  2. No civilised country should have the death penalty.
  3. Yes, she's hardly inspiring! Still, better than Trump/Vance.
  4. Sorry to hear that. But "loading her bank accounts" was a big mistake. If you live together in Cambodia, what is your visa status? My Lao girlfriend had no money to her name, no job and just lived with me in Thailand, but was granted a visa as we demonstrated we lived together as a couple in Thailand, where I worked. Appealing is a wast of time. Address the issues made by the ECO and re-apply.
  5. This thread is about a UK visa, not US. There is no in-person interview for a UK visa.
  6. I'm still shocked that 51.89% of Brits voted to restrict their freedom of movement.
  7. I just completed this quiz. My Score 30/100 My Time 71 seconds

  9. They had their moment. This grab for cash is fairly pathetic.
  10. The Thai government certainly behaved shamelessly and cowardly during WW2.
  11. Perhaps you're confused about the word "union"!
  12. You're taking one measure. There have been and still are economic challenges, trade disruptions, and political divisions, particularly in regard to the UK as a whole (Scotland/Wales/NI) and the regulatory divergence from the EU has also led to complications, particularly in industries that rely on seamless EU-UK integration. A whole generation now has less freedom of movement which, in my opinion, is a crime against youth. However, it does seem that the government are making some, slow, progress in restoring some freedom of movement for the under-30s.
  13. I think most understand that now.
  14. He won the election and most people realise what a catastrophic error Brexit was. I can understand why he's moving slowly, but I can see us rejoining he Customs Union and Single Market by the end of the term. Hopefully it will be a key part of Labour's election manifesto.
  15. I think you're right (Haley too). Fortunately, he went with Junior's advice and will now lose.🙏

  17. Yes, you can't trust the polls for the final result. Whether or not the Dems can maintain their post-convention momentum remains to be seen. Whatever the polls say, there is no doubt the race is much closer since Harris/Walz. Trump is definitelt and rightly rattled, especially as he picked the wrong VP!
  18. Agree. It's worth paying a little more for something that's (mostly!) reliable.
  19. It makes no difference if she's leaving Thailand to live in the UK.
  20. Yes, they're used regularly all over the world. We used to travel to our home in Pakse, Laos on Lao Airlines from BKK regularly on one of their many ATR72s. Unfortunately, they never resumed the route after Covid.😡
  21. I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 55 seconds  
  22. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 26 seconds  
  23. I think you might be in the minority!
