  1. Very unlikely only remainers believe in magical fairy tales The EU wants to see stability and at least a pro eu vote of 75% for a period of 15 to 20 years At the moment the EU is more than happy that it got rid of one of their pain in the backside members there is at least one more member state they would like to see the back of.
  2. silly billy The French border officials Doug Bannister, CEO of the Port of Dover, blamed border control officials, Police aux Frontières, for failing to provide sufficient numbers to staff the passport booths. Only four of nine booths for the French border controls for travellers leaving the UK were reported to have been staffed on Friday morning, https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jul/23/dover-travel-delays-who-is-to-blame
  3. From your own link A deal has been struck with the French border force to man 50% extra passport booths, which are being installed before the summer getaway weekend of 22-24 July. https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2022-07-20/port-of-dover-installs-more-border-control-booths-in-attempt-to-reduce-delays Port of Dover could have 50 booths but if the French border force only agree to man a certain number then the rest would be useless
  4. You do understand this link is from the Port of Dover themselves not some media outlet https://www.doverport.co.uk/about/news/port-of-dover-introduces-new-measures-to-get-summ/13686/
  5. Its quite normal when a business is asking for someone else to fund their business operation to request more than what it actually required
  6. And all of the above will be redundant under ETIAS ETIAS – European Travel Information and Authorisation System https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/etias/
  7. old news 12th July 2022 . To help keep waiting times to a minimum, the Port is installing 50% more booths for use by French border control to enable greater passenger throughput, with installation to be completed before the key summer getaway weekend of 22-24 July https://www.doverport.co.uk/about/news/port-of-dover-introduces-new-measures-to-get-summ/13686/
  8. Concern from member states follows a December decision to put back some of the individual timelines that make up the 'interoperability' plan, whilst keeping the overall deadlines in place. https://www.statewatch.org/news/2022/april/eu-biometric-borders-half-the-member-states-see-high-risks-for-entry-exit-system-plans/ As you can see from the above document delays are due to concerns within the 27 member states in the EU
  9. No Regard to the 5 million plus EU nationals living and working in the UK then, schools break up childcare very expensive so they decided to take children to stay with grandparents living in the EU during the summer hols
  10. visa exempt is for 30 days only and can be extended for a further 30 days If and its a big if Covid extensions are still available in December 2022 you could apply for an 60 day Covid extension
  11. Make sure your wife has her British passport before she leaves the UK
  12. If you wish to work in the United States for a temporary period you will require a nonimmigrant work visa. You cannot work on a visitor or business visa, or under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Unlike some countries, the United States government does not issue work visas for casual employment. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/temporary-employment/#:~:text=If you wish to work,work visas for casual employment.
  13. Only citizens of Canada and Mexico are eligible for a nonimmigrant North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Professional visa to work in the U.S. The NAFTA Professional visa classification is TN and grants the holder temporary entry into the U.S. to work in business activities at a professional level for an initial period of up to three years. https://www.usa.gov/visas#item-213287
  14.

  15. North Korean forced labourers in the EU working in Poland https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-8-2017-006243_EN.html
  16. When you make the reservation make sure that the date you expect delivery is written into the reservation also be aware around this time of year some brands will do what they call minor changes where they will change the specs normally the build using old specs to a certain date and after that date all builds are built using new specs
  17. In the 1975 United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum only 43% of the electorate voted yes that's also a minority.
  18. Because the majority of British voters don't trust them
  19. You haven't really been given a meaningful date what you have been given is a date that the salesperson thought might be acceptable to you in order to secure your reservation. Its unlikely that your salesperson at the dealership would know total number of orders allocated to the production line that will assembly your car, its also unlikely that a salesperson at the dealership will know which weeks car's designated for Thailand will be built or what priority sequence for different paint colours. Personally I see the Volvo app as a value added product that provides their customers at what stage their order processing is at I suspect Volvo doesn't provide a definitive end date until the car has cleared both outbound and inbound customs and is on the delivery truck to the dealership. Brands that current have long waiting lists you have to think how much resource and costs for the resources for both the local dealerships, in country head office and parent company head office is trying to provide the end customer with the information that they are seeking. I suspect Volvo have done their homework and found they can reduce those costs by providing the app
  20. I didn't see any posts where people stated they were buying a Volvo EV what they did state is they prefer the order processing system where Volvo provides updates to the the end customer of the progress on their order and estimated delivery schedule. Its not that diffcult to setup Dealer submits reservations to manufacturer, manufacturer confirms receipt of reservation to end customer, together with ETA for when vehicle will enter production line and ETA for when vehicle will arrive at dealership
  21. Many people in this facebook group are cancelling their reservations because there is no feeback on delivery times once they have placed their reservation https://www.facebook.com/groups/2572340166118367 It appears that Volvo do provide an app called My volvo which does provide the end customer with feedback such as when you vehicle is scheduled to start the production line, when it leaves the factory and when it arrives at the dealership. Look forward to the time when all brands offer a similar type of progress update service
  22. Sounds like your home country is one where they restricted tourists to maximum of 90 days per 180-day period is that what your looking for in Thailand
  23. If check out the MG zs ev Thailand facebook pages you may get the car that you ordered quicker than you expected as many people have posted that they have cancelled their reservations as when they ask questions on delivery dates they received no response. If you order a morgan car they clearly state on their website that typical waiting times are between 6 months and 12 months but any timeframe is better than no timeframe or no response to your queries
  24. You post doesn't make any sense , your 1st post indicates that MG took 3000 reservations at the Bangkok Motor show which was end of March 2022 So for the past 3 months Number of MG EP registrations stands at 200 for the number of MG ZS EV registrations currently stands at 32 Compared that to the numbers of Ora cat for the past 3 months number of registrations stands at 852 We know that 14th May 2022 MG announces closure of reservations for 100% electric vehicles, model NEW MG EP PLUS As for this forum and comments made on this forum there isnt a single automotive manufacturer that would operate a business just solely for the members of this forum it wouldn't be cost effective number of members of this forum XXXX, Number of Thai population 70 million
