No, that doesn’t seem right, unless you requested, and paid for, the “retain your passport” option.
To the best of my knowledge the passport is retained by the local UKVI team in Bangkok, and when the decision has been made by the UKVI team in Delhi, they either print the visa vignette and insert it into the passport, or print the refusal letter, and in either case the passport is returned to Trendy in a sealed envelope.
Good luck.
 

Ok thank you, that makes sense.

Since getting a job was mentioned, what are the chances of getting a job in Thailand if you can speak a little Thai only? I operate small businesses but things are getting tougher by the day and a job might be the answer. 

Well I omitted few of the documents to save on translation costs and processing time and today the wife submitted the documents. It was our first time in the Trendy Building.

Wife was in the appointment area for about 40 minutes. UKVI staff informed her she would receive her passport back within 2 days and confirmation of Visa application results within 15 days. Do we have this right or wouldn't they just return the passport either with or without a visa document attached to it?

Im asking because now that we have submitted the application we need to visit her mother who is in hospital which means driving away from home and we might miss the postal delivery of the passport if it is returned back within the next 10 days.

What is the next step of the process, would the visa simply arrive applied in the passport?

whilst they are feeding from you.. 

..it is a few less of the blighters looking for me

flooding the homes of irrigation officials ????

 

damn, at first glance I thought it said 'flooding the homes of immigration officials'

..as someone else says get a work permit or don't put yourself in the firing line, you only have to read ThaiVisa every day to hear about the crackdowns on illegal workers etc..

I wouldn't want to risk it personally

Hi guys criticizing this post and the invention. What have you ever invented?

 

To criticize is easy and with the point of view of those who grew up in a country that provided everything you needed without having to look for it's absolutely incomprehensible.

 

If here just one single individual is hard working to find new approaches to an existing lack or a problem you don't know any better than to make it look stupid.

 

Before criticizing me due to an English that isn't perfect at all...what languages to you speak and write apart of English. Just saying.

You must be new?

Isn’t this called a dynamo?

Can't prostitutes have legitimate families then?

 

By the way, prostitution isn't illegal in UK.

Working without a valid visa or permission to remain is illegal and I doubt prostitution warrants a valid working visa or permission to remain.

In addition to short stay visitors gone awol working in masseuse  brothels, or marriages of convenience only for those to divorce and remain in the UK in the past have made things difficult for legit families to travel..

..It’s the few illegals who ruin it and make it difficult for the legit families to travel freely with ease.

Is our use of the Internet to blame for climate change?

Not fake and I read it. It barred abnormally curved (i.e. bendy) bananas of "Extra" class. "Class 2" bananas were exempt but "Class 1" were allowed to have only slight defects of shape. I know it was repealed and can only assume that that was because they realized what a particularly dumb regulation it was - even for the EU - hurrah for the democratic bendy rights of bananas!

 

 

 

 

Does this mean if Brexit goes ahead, the EU will receive all the straight bananas and the UK will end up with all the bendy ones..?

And who'd pay for it? A lot of Thais never pay a single cent of taxes. Can't expect much back if you don't contribute. No free lunches.

Update..

My wife's sister today reported back that at the hospital facility in Isaan where her mother is being kept, all the patients in the hospital have only two crapper bowls to share between them all, to take a crap in.

Money isn't getting to where it should be going to..

My own guess is that because the hospital is question in a small town it is simply overlooked and forgotten about.

These people don't have many options, they are being treated unfairly.

PS - this is not a sob story for me to dig into my pockets, this is something my wife was told by her sister, they havn't asked me for anything and to be fair Ive seen a similar shit hole hospital myself when wife's nephew was in hospital - no bedding, no sheets, just a 2 inch think water proof mattress. This was a 7 year old child on the same ward with older people who were potentially living their final days.

And which was the national referendum of 2016 described as by the government then? 

..it was a non-binding referendum, so basically it was an opinion poll.

I agree there are changes to be made on how EU rules are determined and implemented however Brexit isn't the way to do it unfortunately. Crashing out and burning bridges is never a good idea in the long run.

We have been down this road so many times. Parliament made it binding by invoking art50.

Fact, Article 50 can be revoked.

Fact, The referendum poll is non binding. 

Fact, A question to obtain a view point is all it was.

Fact, You are clutching at straws mate.

typical Remoaner running down the UK.  After the glorious no-deal brexit, delivered by the Churchillian Boris du Pfeffle Johnson, the British Empire will rise on endless exports of jam, fish and chips, Morris Minors and good old-fashioned british spunk.   the pound will be worth 100 baht, we'll get our own special lane at immigration requiring no TM-6 and all the best hi-so Thai women will be paying us Sinsod for the privilege of marrying a plucky post-brexit Brit.

..wishful thinking but then you awakened from your dream.

i agree with post 6, many of my *friends * have gone to work in KOREA, they say Bangkok has been dead for 6 months in fact i know a thai lady who went to Korea , is now lording it up in the UK, good for her i say

One of your so called *friends* is now living it up in the UK?

you mean a prostitute has managed to lie her way past immigration..?

..then unless your *friend* had now changed her occupation, she is one of the reasons those of us with legitimate families find the immigration process so difficult relocating back to a home country.

You are part of the problem for encouraging it.
