For the child's first passport, the originals are checked by VFS (Bangkok or Chiang Mai) and then returned, including any passports. Obviously for your wife's visa, they take her passport. -
Did we have the best of it ? Is Britain Lost ?
brewsterbudgen replied to CharlieH's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
The previous governments have a lot to answer for. Have faith that Labour can at least put some things right, like the NHS, by the time of the next election. 🙏 -

What utter nonsense. -
When I transferred my son's Extension to his new passport (Chaengwattana), they needed a photocopy of his original O visa issued in London in 2016 (2 passports ago!) and my entry to Thailand stamp from 2019. Luckily I had brought everything with me.

Might be better in the Pattaya forum, as Songkran has finished in most places.

Worth reading the facts from Lucy Connolly's sentencing. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/R-v-Lucy-Connolly.pdf -

Nobody likes change. Thatcher changed things, Blair changed things and 14 years of Tory rule changed things. Brexit changed things dramatically! It's too early to tell whether Starmer will actually deliver any changes, good or bad. -
I suspect there was more before that. Had he been in the bar concerned and been asked to leave? The girls that joined in once he was on the ground, looked they were gaining revenge!

Ok then, it makes everyone involved look bad. Soi 6 is not all of Thailand and those who work there are not most Thais.

Moved here in 2005 to teach English. Still here and have burnt all my bridges back home, so will be staying.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
brewsterbudgen replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but for any dads out there this is a very moving and sometimes difficult watch. Superb performances from the two leads and amazing use of music. -

How can you judge something you haven't watched? Did you enjoy the first two seasons? -
Do you think so? I think it makes tourists look bad, rather than any Thai people.

Tattooed Tourist Assaulted in Songkran Soaking Incident
brewsterbudgen replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Indeed. That's why it's so popular and appeals to many foreigners. We're all kids at heart! (It does go on for too long in Pattaya though). -
Vindication for J K Rowling 👏

A2 English Test - Expired
brewsterbudgen replied to magicroundabout's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
I think the A2 test the OP is referring to is the UKVI test for people wanting leave to remain in the UK. It is only Speaking and Listening. https://www.englishexamcentre.com/approved-selt-tests/a2-selt -
Why would The Guardian be outraged? https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/apr/16/critics-of-trans-rights-win-uk-supreme-court-case-over-definition-of-woman

To whom are you making your formal complaint?
-
Probably didn't want to get blood on them. The bar will likely charge them for the dry-cleaning.

Same was said for previous generations. They'll be fine (most of them, anyway!)
-
It was soi 6 for goodness sake!

Persevere. It's one of the best series ever series, along with 'Better Call Saul', 'The Sopranos' and "Six Feet Under'. -
If this turns out to be the only such incident over Songkran it will be amazing! Far worse happens every weekend in provincial towns across the UK!

A2 English Test - Expired
brewsterbudgen replied to magicroundabout's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
I think she can, but if her English is good, couldn't she do the B1 test, so that it's out of the way? -
It's been reported that the 'country of residence' field now accepts Thailand. I'm arriving on 1 May too, but you cannot submit the form until 3 days before arrival. Hopefully all will be updated by then!
