That’s the details for those renewing passports, the OP is submitting a visa application.

Nothing to do with visas, I’ll move to banking.

A typical Daily Mail “scoop”. I’ll close for now, can reopen if any firm proposals are made.

Moved to the Thailand visa forum

But no six month validity required for Australia or, as a matter of interest, the UK.

Non Australian or New Zealand citizens must hold a passport valid for the duration of the trip, there is no six month requirement. That said, airline staff often revert to their assumption of a six month “rule” so, given how quick and easy it is to obtain a Thai passport she might want to consider renewing her passport, though she would need to update her visa.

I’ve done a number of international transfers to Singapore using the Kasikorn App using that option, all were transferred successfully. However on the last occasion, after the transaction had been completed l received an email from Kasikorn asking for the source of the money with evidence of the income, and a copy of the relevant work permit. I didn’t have either and whilst they didn’t recall the funds, they advised l wouldn’t be able to make further transactions using those codes. l now use Wise from my account in the IoM to send funds to Singapore.

Providing you’re staying in the transit area for the whole ten hours then no visa is required. https://www.mfa.gov.tr/frequently-asked-questions.en.mfa

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.

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.

A number of off topic troll posts removed.

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.

Very sad news, our sincere condolences to his wife and family. RIP my friend ????

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.

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.

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.

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.
