Whilst many Thais may prefer a death penalty, money speaks louder. Where is a murderer going to find money to recompense the families? An eye for an eye. The only certain way to be sure they won't murder again and totally justified.!

Why shouldn't a murderer suffer the same fate as his/her victim? They never get to see the light of day again through royal pardons, admission of guilt, good behaviour or whatever!

Many are there due to inhumane crimes!

The Police should have retreated and let the family and neighbours sort out the murderer. Just like all the rest he will be out on the streets again in a few years.

The Pension payer will, if requested, provide the necessary reference information for HMRC to begin the refund process.

The employer will most likely have done this before and know exactly what to do. Its no big issue, so don't worry about it.

From experience of helping several Thai widows following their husbands/partners death, the the occupational pension paid to a widow or bereaved partner...and children in many cases... is invariably paid without deduction of tax. Only where there is a delay in claiming and arrears mount up, has tax been deducted. Where tax has been incorrectly deducted details need to be sent to the relvant tax office who will sort matters out (more often than not in the next, not current tax year) and in such cases it generally requires help from a British subject who knows a little about tax matters The widow/partner needs to be aware that every year or so, she will receive the equivalent of a Life Certificate. which needs to be completed and returned speedily otherwise pensions are stopped. Note also, where UK probate is required and a lawyer is involved, if the expat has been overseas for a while, they are regarded as domiciled outside the UK, and VAT on lawyers fees is exempt.

Why on earth do they become Monks, when they want to live and behave like normal men? It's not compulsory!!!!!!!!!!!

Lengthy prisn sentence??? This is surely one where execution is more than warranted!

1983 was when I wanted to take my Ist Thai wife to the UK. The Thai passport authorities had other ideas, and refused to give her a passport until they had carried out numerous checks. The British Embassy were as helpful as they could be..they agreed that when she received her passport they would give her the visa instantly.....which they did in January 1984, when the passport office finally issued the passport. No German consular officer, but an English woman who had a Thai surname.

I have just been rejected by expatvac..............After reviewing your registration, it can not be further processed due to lack of required visas....They had a box on the form for PR holders to tick. I did. PR holders do NOT have Visas. Useless shower!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was it Pfizer and promised?

Some of the smaller banks pay a slightly higher interest rate. However some are reluctant to open an account for a foreigner-especially one without a work permit. One of the smaller banks in a shopping mall refused to open an account for me event though I have PR.. "No sir"..."We need to see a work permit and a visa"
