Can some one point me in the right direction for the correct form,

After the UK fiancée visa and now we are married what do i need for the next two year part, please

( I have seen the form VAF4 again for settlement but that seems to indicate to be used out side of the UK)

Thanks bread

I agree I thnk with Rob if the trust is not there I do not think I would want to go with with the relationship.

I also think that the vast majority of Thai girls dont want to scam that much but I do think that there are quite a few that do and also there is no social taboo with having several farangs in order to mantain a living so I guess the credit card thing can be a good thing

ok sorry I should of said yesterday we had tried with the nationwide and they were being funny about the fact that she could not give 3 years previous address history and we only wanted a reall basic account, does any one give a diffrent bank the thumbs up,

thanks bread

has any one any experiance of opening a bank account for a thai person that has just got to the uk how easy and who,

ta bread

you are right child tax credits and benefits are not the same thing which is nice to no ! though i know think its £18.80 a week and the tax credits aprox can be from £10-£300

Clear as mud mate yes !!

seems easy enough though these things never are

Sorry its taken a few days to come back but thanks guys, the great thing about this site is the help all ways comes quick and that was all I wanted to know,

though thinkng about it is child benfit the same as the tax credits ?

Thanks bread

thats good thanks would any one know what form and where still?

and any chid payment advice would be good

Hi all 2 questions if possible;

My fiancé is now in the UK with me we are aiming on getting married and in turn submitting for the next part (the two year visa), could some one please tell me which form and point me towards where I would find it please.

We are also expecting a child in the next 8 weeks and I was just wondering if any one new or had any experience with clamming child support, I know she can not for 6 months but can I? If any one knows the process any advice would be fantastic

Thanks BREAD

£10000 pounds is the legal amount you can move from the UK to the EU (a lot of EU countrys are 15000 euros) and I guess this will be the same out of the UK, I think the £10k mark is from the money lundering regs.

Can any one tell me the advantage of name changing on the Thai passport side of things not the problems the advantage?

newstart07 Also how is your wife settling is she getting on ok?

ps (the motor trade on my return is def harder than a year ago mate)

same my friend one week for a fiancee visa

just for my 2 cents worth

I put in on wednesday the 11th for a fiancee visa to the uk with a load of docs

one call on friday saying there was to be a telephone interview on monday, they spoke to my GF 2 times asking about my family e.t.c some questions she dident know the answers to (basic stuff as well bless her) they then called her again tuesday and then visa was granted on wednesday so all in all 5-6 days though in that time i wanted to speak to the embassy as i thought some of the questions seemed stupid but i could not get through.

Just a quick one to say thank you for every ones help my fiancee now has her visa and will be joining me on saturaday and a big shout out to Scouser and vinny thanks all

Just a quick shout out if any one is sending documents to Thailand, sent using DHL on Tuesday night and the documents arrived safe and sound on this morning (Saturday) in 3 ish days which is not bad for £50.

though I do have to say when booking in it does depend on who you speak to as some of the operators there cound not get there head's round delivering past bangkok which is the same as web site that wont allow you to put in any were out side bangkok.

In case any one does wonder you get a tracking number from DHL and then in turn DHL pass it to THAIPOST and they will also give you a tracking number (different website) but you can follow it all the way.

yes I herd this as well that some of the Thai comunity is not so good but then I guess the same could be said for the UK as well, but ill keep an eye out

thanks all

so TaurusUK on the basis of what you are saying then I have got the form of the Internet all ready (VaF-4) and filled it in so there is no advantage at all to doing this online aplication......is that right ?

Thank you for the response

I am sure that once the initial "hype" of getting here finishes and the normality of life settles back in then it will be important to make sure she has some people to talk to.

I will find out where the supermarket is and in turn a night or so out at "taste of Thailand" sounds in order

PS. colino already got that down "Soufampton" also after spending a few hours down there if you can combine it with a polish accent I think no one will ever know !!!!

Hi guys I am moving soon to Southampton and in turn (fingers crossed) my GF will be joining me. I was just wondering if any one from the forum is in that area and could point us in the direction of some other Thai people, as I think it will make the transition easier for her.

I cant find that link as it wont allow me to search for VAC

Thank you, ill have a read I think I will send it to the GF and get her to take it as at least you know its there.

Has any one had any experience with applying on line for a UK visa I have noticed that this option is now available from the website and I was wondering if it is in any way detrimental eg. they just appoint the applicant any way and ask them to bring originally profs with them ?

Ta Bread

thanks !! I have always in the past had a good response and sometimes its nice to chat to someone with the same experience, sorry for using the forum to ask a question

my mistake

Guys a quick bit of help please

I am just about to apply for my GF fiancée Visa to come to the UK on the (fingers crossed basis) that she gets it I am trying in my head to plan how and what the next items are, and am just trying to avoid and pit falls that there may be .

can any one say what they have found and let me know any bills documents I should keep an eye out for for the next few years until citizenship is obtained.

at the moment this is how i foresee it please correct me if I am wrong.

1. Vaf-4 Fiancée Visa - lasts 6 months during which you can marry then reapply for (at any point?)
   
2. FLR which lasts for two years (during which time you should try to amass as many bills e.t.c in both names, (is this meant to be MR and MRS ?)
   
3. One month before the end of the two years provided GF has passed a course for life in the UK with citizenship included you can then apply for ILR?
   
4. you then can apply for citizenship and after three years in total a passport
   

thanks guys

thanks as always Vinny always appreciated
