Providing you’re staying in the transit area for the whole ten hours then no visa is required.

You might be better asking about repatriating funds in the banking forum, rather than the Visa Forum.

As the crux of your question seems to be about returning to Thailand, your question might be better in the Thailand forum.

I think we can close this topic now, thus ending the bickering.
l think it’s been established that Key Visa is one of the numerous agencies up and down the country who will submit an application on behalf of the applicant, and forward the new passport when it arrives at VFS.
Forum members may be advised to check if agencies retain the current passport during the application process,some do and this could cause problems to the applicant.

Am I right in thinking you just show the witness your passport. You don't have to send a copy of the passport with the life certificate?
You're correct, you don't need to send a copy of your passport with the Life Certificate.
The witness is signing to confirm that they've seen your passport.
There are numerous retired UK Civil Servants and Bank Managers in Thailand, any one of them can countersign the form.- 1

it’s maybe worth pointing out that all applications need to be submitted via VFS who forward them to the UK, the application can be submitted in person or via an agent who will hand it in on the applicants behalf.- 1

As your question is in regard to a visa for entry into Thailand, rather than a visa from Thailand, I’ll move your post to the Thai Visa forum.

To qualify for a new Isle of Man or Channel Island bank account, you need to be resident there. I recall their residency criteria is the standard 180 days in a calendar year.
You don’t need to be resident in the IoM to open an account with Santander International https://www.santanderinternational.co.uk/international/ -
This will be better in the Visa Forum.

@Randy99you’ve posted your question in the wrong forum, I’ll move to the forum for visas for Thailand.

Will they require proof of a return ticket? We don't know the exact date we'll be coming back...
Actual fight tickets are not required, just indicative plans and reasons to return.Likewise when entering the UK Border, whilst some Border Force Officers may well ask to see one, because it’s an easy route, it isn’t a requirement.
That said, they can ask the passenger to demonstrate that they have the means to leave the UK at the conclusion of their visit.
The UKBA are more than aware that possession of a return ticket, doesn’t mean they intend to use it.

You don’t need to provide details of actual flights, just indicative travel plan, and the reason for the visit.- 1

British passport holders can use the staffed desks not just as a translator, but as a family member, it makes it easier for the Border Force Officer if families travelling together, clear Immigration together.- 3

Following on from the previous helpful reply, US Citizens do not normally require a visa to travel to The Netherlands for a visit, but be aware that your passport must meet the validity requirements.

You seem to have posted in the wrong forum, though it's not clear from your post where you are located, you say that you've been out of Thailand for a few years but are talking about a visa run when you ask which boarder [sic] checkpoints except [sic] the E-visa.
I'll move your question to the Thai Visa Forum on the assumption that you're actually in Thailand, in the meantime maybe you could clarify what you actually want to know.

3 hours ago, UKSteve said:"to help me get a spouse visa for my Thai girlfriend of 4 years"
"Preferably good English speakers so I can discuss options"When you say your girlfriend wants to apply for a spouse visa, what is she actually wanting to do?
Does she plan to marry you and settle in the UK, marry in Thailand and then settle in the UK or visit as a spouse/partner/spouse?
As@soi3eddierightly points out, all the relevant information is on the UKVI Website, that will guide her through the various routes, dependant on what she actually wants to achieve.
If she needs an agent to guide her through the process I would recomend Thai Visa Express in Pattaya, he is the only agent registered with UK's OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) in Thailand, though registration isn't a legal requirement in Thailand, and anyone can set themselves up as an agent and have English speaking staff. Thai Visa Express is English owned, top advisors and English and Thai speaking staff.- 3

Your wife’s advice is correct, a short covering letter from you may help convince the decision maker of her ties here.

We don’t really need another thread regarding this limited strike action, it’s already being discussed in the appropriate forum.
This forum is for visas to other countries, I’ll close this thread.
