essex boys

I’m living in France, in the pays de loire in an area called the ‘vendee’ it’s a beautiful area to live, lots of open spaces and many great beaches close by, the food and the wine and beer is a good price, the wine is very cheap and Good ????????, I have three friends that are moving back to the Uk they are all moving back in January 2022, the biggest reason they state is that they are getting on ( in their early 70’s) and that they miss their grandkids and their own children, it’s also expensive here in France a weekly shop is a lot more expensive than doing a weekly shop in Tesco or Asda..so that’s their reasons. I like Thailand but not sure I can live there permanently, the girlfriend loves coming to France and we both agree to spend maybe 7 months of the year in Thailand and 5 months ( summer months) in France so we get the beautiful weather and food of Thailand most of the time and also the summer here in the vendee, France has great health care and approximately 80% is covered by the government and the other 20% is up to the individuals to get covered on a private health insurance scheme, it just gives me the security of knowing if I’m ill or involved in an accident I will get an ambulance ride to the hospital rather than the back of a taxi or the back of a pick up..I love Thailand but it has many drawbacks as you get older and your health isn’t as good

Many thanks @ubonjoe for the link to the affidavit, is it required to tick all the box’s or just one of them. again thanks to all who helped, many thanks

Hi All, many thanks for your replies and help, @ubonjoe how do get hold of an affidavit form? Is it downloadable from somewhere or is it only available from the immigration office…( I will be staying at the girlfriends house in Khon Kaen, so I will be going to Khon Kaen immigration)

Sorry to butt in on this thread, I will be in the same position, I arrive on a 30 day visa free then I’m going to extend that another 30 days at immigration, what documents do I need to show to get the 60 day covid extension?
