The Fat Controller

The non-o married to a Thai document requirements have been slimmed down now, I applied a month ago. You need to apply online and can only get a single entry. Financial details are required, either a sum in the bank or regular income but cannot remember the exact figures. They have removed the need for copies of your last entry stamps and invitation from your wife. You need proof of UK residence (I used my tax bill), a recent photo and copy of your marriage certificate. In my Visa folder I also have my wife's ID card but cannot remember if that was needed this time. @QballQ Kay at the Glasgow consulate was a pussycat if you stayed on the right side of her. LOL

We have two cheap Chinese pumps. One is surface mounted and pulls water up from the bore hole and we use that to water the garden with no issues, no settling tank or any other treatment. This one has been in place since before I married 10 years ago and is switched on and off with a breaker. The other one supplies water on demand to our house from a tank that is filled by government mains water. It has been working fine for 6 years, not even had to replace the pressure switch yet.

What kind of job can she get a 3 month leave of absence from? How many kids is she supporting? Have a Google about the level of household debt in Thailand. If she won't tell you how much she owes and where that debt is held, time to get the running shoes on.

One working day ? Where did you get that information from ? With Christmas and New Year holidays don't be surprised if it is not processed before you arrive in Thailand.

One of the Thai rivals to Eire's Ryanair, Thai Rion Air.

Soi Pothole (Chayapoon) in Pattaya is privately owned, thankfully they don't charge you to take the risk of walking, riding or driving down it yet.

I think the clue as to whether your teeth need attention is the colour ! Black is not normal.

My non-o from London has the same name format. It took 60 hours from application to issue, the email confirmation arrived at 2107 so either they are working late of it was sent out in a daily batch.

I have done this several times in Ubon, the form was presented to me at the land office during the purchase process, not sure what you have downloaded but unless it is the specific form from the local office it's probably for the shredder. No lawyer needed, just make sure you see the original chanote and there are no conditions or loans recorded against the land, this will be on the reverse but all Thais should know that.

It is never wise to flout the regulations, one day it will bite you in the backside.

I wonder if the phone will have mysteriously gone "walkies" and have a flat battery by the time the shop opens. Best of luck !

Cellular means calls. You need a data-only SIM. Check which bands your device can use too.

The only issue could be boarding at your departure point without a visa if your exit/return flight is beyond the 30 days granted on a exempt entry. Some airlines are stricter than others, KLM and Emirates in the UK for example. You could always get a Non O visa based on your marriage if you can stick 90 days with your wife, alternatively a 60 day tourist visa is cheaper and less hassle than an extension at immigration.

The UK visa application page DOES advise that you should print a copy.

If you get all your documents in the required format and size evisa applications in the UK are a piece of cake. My Non O based on having a Thai partner took less than two working days to be issued.
