OK, you accused me of "making things up"
You made the above up .
I am not "pretending" that Brexit has nothing to do with an increase in transaction and processing times , yes the checks take longer , I have never suggested otherwise .
My point is there should be enough French staff to deal with the transactions and the delays were caused by a lack of French immigration officers .
If longer immigration checks are needed, then more immigration staff are needed
You accused me of making up that there are increased transaction times and then immediately agree that there are increased transaction times? ????
Then you state that there should be enough French staff for it. Enough staff to deal with the problems that you caused by voting for Brexit?
Now you are blaming them for Saturday's delays even though they were there and in enough number.
It seems that you are unable to accept responsibility for anything. Could it just be that Brexit has a hand in it? ????

Fewer than half the French immigration booths were open on Friday morning , new immigration booths had been installed, but they weren't staffed yet .
The early morning delays caused problems for the rest of they day and also the next day
????
So a 75 minute delay on Friday caused seven hour wait on both Friday and Saturday is your contention. Nothing to do with the necessary increased checking caused by Brexit?

You appear to be making it up again.
The "half of the booths open" issue was resolved after 75 minutes, on Friday. So you are suggesting that caused two days of delays of up to seven hours each time?
The French state that they increased their border staff from 120 to 200.
The fact is that there are increased transaction times. To pretend that Brexit has nothing to do it with is disingenuous as best.

the latter sadly
One of these days these so called "experts" will post the short codes to all these outstanding deals over unlimited at high speed for 200 baht or less for AIS TRUE and Dtac
Instead they'll post spurious links to 3rd party websites which are utterly useless for 95% here
I'll try again (not aimed at you hammer)
Truemove existing Sim probably of 10 years
Give me a short code of an unlimited internet (throttled is fine) for lets say 300 baht a month (we'll be generous)
Dont send links to anything else please pure short codes on True
Not a years deal !!! Month by month !
Are you actually expecting help after insulting one member (scubascuba) and then going on to attack "so called experts"?
Then insisting that you are sent nothing else other than what you demand ????
A suitable code was posted a while back. Though I cannot imagine anyone taking the time to find it for you, after your rather unpleasant post.

The Councils want to widen and improve the road between Lydden and Dover , they want a dual carriage way rather than a single road .
Kent road improvements are nothing to do with last weeks delays , the Councils have been asking for that road to be improved for the last 40 years
Okay, so you are saying that French border staff being 75 minutes late caused people to have to wait six hours.
But wasn't that on Friday? What about Saturday?

There are no ongoing traffic problems in Dover , last weeks delays were caused by French immigration and those problems have now been resolved
Selective reading again?
QuoteLocal authorities, tourism groups and travel operators have urged the government to find a solution to Kent's traffic problems at the Channel ports.
Eurotunnel, Visit Kent and council leaders in Ashford, Folkestone and Thanet are among those calling for investment in Kent's road network.
It urges the government to invest in improvements to the A2 between Lydden and Dover.
Signatories of the letter include:
Dover District Council
Folkestone & Hythe District Council
Ashford Borough Council
Canterbury City Council
Swale Borough Council
Thanet District Council
Kent County Council
Matthew Scott, Kent's Police & Crime Commissioner
Visit Kent
Getlink (Eurotunnel)
Are you suggesting that they are doing so because of that one incident? ????

Yes, the U.K did tell France that there would be more people travelling during the holiday period and so they should make sure they have enough immigration staff to process all the travellers .
Seems like France ignored that advice , had understaffed immigration counters and that caused a delay in travelling at Dover .
Really?
33 minutes ago, Mac Mickmanus said:Your link says that There are rail strikes in the U.K this week-end and there could once again be traffic problems .
Why did you post that link for ?
Was you trying to imply that there were still traffic jams and Brexit is the reason for those ?
I am suggesting that you cannot blame the French for the ongoing traffic problems in Kent.

No idea, this thread is about, was a delay at Dover caused by Brexit, it wasn't, it was a French staff error.
Does it take a little longer now because we are once again a free sovereign nation, probably....time to move on, seems all back to normal....????
I answered a question from Mick Macmanus. It seems that you missed that.

No, lets get back on topic , or now that the French immigration has gone back to work and their technical glitch has been sorted out , and there's no more delays at Dover , there's no reason to continue with this thread .
Although we could ask the question about how Brexit caused a two delay at Dover after the Brexit rules had been in place for two and a half years already ?
We could ask or just you and transam?
Were people free to travel the previous summer? This was the first real test since coming out of COVID restrictions.
QuoteBottlenecks of lorries at Dover have been seen since then, but this summer is the first with unrestricted travel for the public since the lifting of all COVID-19 restrictions.

not a mistake - I've purchased that SIM in October 2021, and activated it on 15th of October.
The tariff is limited speed (10 mbps) with unlimited traffic.
...or the "unlimited traffic" SIMs from AIS are not actually unlimited?
Well, you are right -
- the "unlimited" SIM from AIS appeared to have a 100 GB traffic limit ????
They weren't selling annual unlimited 10 Mbps SIM at that time last year. Their last annual offer was unlimited 8 Mbps. So it was either that or the Marathon SIM you had.
Marathon SIM it is.

Settlement and Pre settlement visas ARE long term visas , it gives people the right to remain in the U.K indefinitely .
Pre settlement visas are visas given to people prior to getting a settlement visa .
6.4 million applications for long term visas were made and 6.1 Million visas were granted
Nope, there is no visa. You are just making it up as you go along. The figures to March 2022 do not show six million given pre-settled and settled status. Are you unable to comprehend what you are reading? I explained it earlier.

All true. Visible in many cities in the UK, which is one reason why the referendum didn’t turn out as the elites expected.
How would you know any better, preaching from a lofty perch in the EU or Thailand?
The referendum went that way not because of what appeared like uncontrolled migration(Syrians etc at that point because of yet another war) and the lies perpetrated by the usual suspects.
But it seems yourself and mick are struggling to point out any positive effect of Brexit beyond the migration issue and even with that....is it any less than it was?

15 minutes ago, Loiner said:A bit of stress? Visa application processing usually is for anybody anywhere.
So many rushed to get their applications in to enjoy life in post-Brexit Britain that it can’t have been too stressful. They must see more benefits of Brexit than the average Remainer.
Maybe we should have given them the vote then the referendum margin would have been 6 million more for Leave.It wasn't a visa application. Do you have any knowledge of the process at all? I am guessing that you have none.
If you had built a life in a country that might suddenly consider you persona non grata, why would you not rush to fill the form in? Some really idiotic statements posted within this thread.

No, your figures were not the complete figures .
Here are the complete figures .
Your figures are from June 2021
My figures are from December 2021
Which show I am right
Applications received
-
as seen in Figure 1, as of 31 December 2021, 6.4 million (6,385,470) applications had been received, with 89% received in England, 5% in Scotland, 2% in Wales and 2% in Northern Ireland
No, it shows that you have an inability to comprehend what you are reading. Those are applications received, not people who have been given a 'long term visa'. The other figures(other than Settled and Pre-settled) are for Refused, Withdrawn/Void and Invalid.
Total Settled Pre-settled
Total 6,271,240 3,200,980 2,576,360 251,860 122,800 118,970 -

6 million of them.
Nothing special about their work, but they accept poorer living conditions to save money. What is left after a few street drinking sessions gets sent home to build the biggest house in the village.What an ignorant post.
Do you imagine that the only Europeans living in the U.K take part in manual labour.
How do you know about the working standards of millions of people? Poorer living conditions? Tell us about them.
So sad that you make such a poor case for yourself.

The link that you provided backs up what I said
"Mr Sirieix had, in fact, already been given indefinite leave to remain and did not need to apply for the settlement scheme."

That's what the HO stated after their blunder was revealed.
Not sure why you stopped reading after that:
QuoteA Home Office spokesperson said: "We have contacted Mr Sirieix about his application and he has now been granted settled status."
So why did they give him settled status if he "did not need to apply"?
It was stressful for many.

19 minutes ago, Mac Mickmanus said:Yes, all they had to do was go online and register to get the long term visas .
Over six million E.U Nationals managed to register for long term U.K visas prior to Brexit
Nonsense. You are just making it up.
QuoteApplications concluded
-
5.4 million (5,444,550) applications had been concluded up 30 June 2021).
-
Of the concluded outcomes, 52% (2,846,820) were granted settled status, 43% (2,327,850) were granted pre-settled status and 4% had other outcomes (including 109,430 refused applications, 80,600 withdrawn or void applications, and 79,730 invalid applications).
-
Concluded outcomes granted settled status were higher for Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland (60%, 57%, 56%, respectively), compared to England (53%).
Repeat applicants
-
Of the 6.1 million applications recieved, 8% were from repeat applicants (472,220)
-
This indicates that an estimated 5,548,440 people had applied to the scheme up to 30 June 2021, with over 4.9 million obtaining a grant of status.
What long term visa would that be? There is pre-settled status if you can show that you lived in the UK for two years prior to Brexit and settled status if you could show you lived in the U.K. for five years or more. Once the pre-settled have lived in the U.K. for five years, they can apply for settled status.
There is no "long term visa" as you put it. Just that those who failed to apply became 'illegals'.

Bruno, what was your info source/sources for your post back in December listing the various LTE and 5G bands of the three major mobile providers?
I noticed you listed only 5G 700 Mhz as the sole 5G spectrum for both DTAC and AIS... I thought one or both of them also were using some other bands for 5G?
"In February 2020, NBTC assigned spectrum for 5G use across low (700 MHz), mid (2,600 MHz), and high (26 GHz) frequency bands."
"AIS launched 5G NSA (non-standalone) in February 2020 using the 700 MHz, 2.6 GHz and 26 GHz bands, followed by 5G SA in July 2020 in cooperation with Huawei. AIS deployed 5G CA (New Radio Carrier Aggregation) by integrating its mid-band (2600 MHz) and low band (700 MHz) spectrum."
"AIS and TrueMove H deployed their initial 5G networks on the 2600 MHz spectrum, while dtac used frequencies in the 26 GHz band."
Currently:
AIS:
5G NR Frequency Bands
n28 (700 MHz)
n41 (2500 MHz)
n258 (26 GHz)
DTAC:
5G NR Frequency Bands
n28 (700 MHz)
Truemove H:
5G NR Frequency Bands
n28 (700 MHz)
n41 (2500 MHz)
DTAC use of 26 GHz was not for general public consumption.

Fun fact: AIS "1 year SIM" lasts for 9 months
I've activated my SIM on 15th Oct 2021, and today 30th Jul 2022 I've got these two SMSs:

Your full speed Internet has 200MB remaining. After used up, get unlimited usage at reduced speed based on your package. To subscribe package, http://www.ais.co.th/netpackage/5g/

Your internet usages have been used up. To continue 5G max speed internet, just 99B. 4GB 7days or 150B. 9GB 15days, click http://www.ais.co.th/netpackage/5g/
ok nvm, gone shopping for yet another DTAC SIM.
// EDIT to clarify: I have "unlimited traffic" SIM, not "unlimited speed" one. And today my speed dropped down to ~100 kbps from tariff's 10 mbps.
So this post was a mistake? You are just describing the AIS Marathon SIM after you have utilised the 100 GB allowance for the month.
You can get a new AIS SIM and apply an Unlimited 8 Mbps pack to it for 150 baht per month, comparable in price to the Marathon pack.
Though obviously you still have a few months to go on the Marathon pack, if that is what you have.
DTAC currently have 15 & 30 Mbps annual SIMs from 1400 and 1700 respectively.

Long traffic delays at Dover ferry port are fault of Brexit, claim French

Yes, I understand. You are finally agreeing that Brexit is responsible for the delays, exacerbated by the fact that they were temporarily short staffed on Friday morning.
Clear.
