Thanks very much for the swift reply, just registered. Ill see how it pans out. Regards.

Hi, my Thai wife is trying to get back to Thailand from the UK a soon as possible. cannot get through to the embassy on the phone despite being on hold for ages.  These are the requirements that I think she needs:

1. COE issued by the Embassy on receipt of copies of Fit to Fly certificate, Passport, T8 form, Flight ticket booking & ASQ booking (unsure on ASQ one).

2. Fit to Fly certificate not older than 72 hours on the day of the flight.

3. T8 form filled in.

Does she have to book an official repatriation flight from London Heathrow or use another operator like Qatar who are flying to Thailand now. 

Will still have to stay at paid ASQ hotel or does the state pay for returning Thais, not sure on this one..

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hope someone can help or advise.  I'm married to a Thai who lives with me in the UK, her Thai son died not so long ago and the birth mother cannot take care of their baby son now, and is willing for us to become his legal guardians.  My wife is currently looking after him. Ultimately we want to adopt him. 

Can someone point me in the right direction where I can start this process and who to contact in the UK. I think that's covered the basics.

Regards. D.
