Thanks a lot

Have copied and pasted this topic and will email it to him.

He is in pattaya or koh samui this week so he should have no problem getting access to internet

once again thanks guys

Where is the ed visa applied for from in thailand or uk

Thanks guys

Have a virtual beer on me

wow you guys are great

where does he have to apply for the ed visa from, can that be done in thailand or does it have to be applied for in the UK.

I know he is in a village somewhere so not sure if attending language lessons is an option

Also you say there is NO police check when applying for retirement at 50. I was under the impression that there was.Thats great

How would being married to thai girlfriend make things easier?

Am sure he would happily buy you both a drink

brilliant

thanks for the info I will send him text to let him know what I have learnt from you guys.

He will be bitterly dissapointed that he cant go for PR but better to know now rather than pin his hopes on it and be really devastated later.

Your help is much appreciated

Not sure if its type o just know its a multiple entry 90 day or 60 day visa valid for a year

He has only been in thailand on his new visa for 1 month

How does he get 15 months out of it

Also applying by post from thailand would be a bit dodgy as he would have to send his passport through the post

Many thanks for replying Maestro and Mario2008

So basically his only option now is to just carry on applying for an annual multiple-entry visa. He will more than likely return to the uk to do this.

Is there a limit to how many times these visa's can be applied for or can he just carry on doing this for ever.

Also I am sure I read somewhere that you can actually get to stay for 14 months depending on visa run timings.

Would appreciate if someone can explain this

Not sure if he would go for the Education visa but if he does how does that one work

once again thanks

Hi hoping for some advice from members here.

My brother is now back in thailand living with his thai girlfriend on his 2nd annual 90 day multi entry non immigrant visa after returning to uk to re-apply for it.

He never had any criminal record until recently when going though a nasty divorce, his wife was deliberately goading him and he ended up being charged and convicted of assault for pushing her away when she was hitting him. She suceeded in her goal of making it difficult for him to emmigrate to thailand.

He is now worried that all his plans are going to fall down as he will not pass the criminal records check.

He is 45 and hoping to settle in thailand and we know he is too young for retirement visa.

He dont want a work visa and he does have enough income to live on from the sale of his house in the uk last month.

We want to know what his options are and what visa is best for him to apply for taking into account that he now has a criminal record in the UK.

He wants ideally to avoid having to return to the UK every year for renewal

Thanks in advance for any advice

ok thanks for letting me know

I will tell him

Hi

Thanks for replying

My mistake

Brother did say to ask about work permit and not visa

He wasnt sure if he needed a work permit as unpaid work

So you dont think he will be given a work permit to work on the house himself then ?

Hi Andy I hope you can help

My brother wants to be able to build a bungelow on land owned by the mother of his thai girlfriend

This will be unpaid work

What visa does he need to get so that he can do this without getting into trouble and where does he get it from

He already has a type o non immigrant visa

Many thanks for any advice offered
