    thank you for your advice would it be advisable to to email UK embassy in Bangkok and tell them that this Visa agent is not being upfront and honest with their applications

     

    The UK Embassy plays no part whatsoever in the visa application process, so no it would not be advisable to send them an email explaining what happened.

     

    All applications are considered by out of country UKVI staff, sending them an email as you describe will be of no use whatsoever.

     

    The UKVI will, more than likely, take the stance that the applicant is fully responsible for the contents of their application, and the fact your partner acted on the advice given by an "agent" will be of no interest, I doubt very much if they would respond.

     

    As you've been advised before, even a reputable agent would find it very difficult unravelling the damage done in the previous application.

    Not thailand I mean a visa for south africa if going out on a thai passport she will need if using uk passport she will not and her thai passport will run out and she will get a new one so will need a new Visa.

     

    You're still not correct, or maybe I don't understand what you're saying.

     

    She can enter SA using her British Passport, and doesn't need a visa, depending on Covid restrictions and her length of stay.

     

    She would also leave SA using her UK Passport, as she should clear SA Immigration using the same passport she entered with.

     

    She would show her Thai passport at check-in, either her new or old one, that would show the airline staff that she can enter Thailand without the need for a return ticket.

     

    She can't get a Thai Visa in either of her Thai passports to enter her home country.

    I dont think Visa are transferable on to new passports so if there is a entry stamo or Visa for SA she may have to go to imigration again when there and get new 


    As a Thai National she wouldn’t need or be issued with a visa to enter Thailand with either her expired or new Thai passport.

     

    As a matter of interest a visa for Thailand can be transferred to a new passport for visa nationals, but for many countries the traveler can simply carry their new passport and their old one carrying their visa.

  4. I think a number of us may be in the same boat, I certainly am, I can't fully understand the expanatory notes though it seems to imply that a recipient of a widows pension resident here would be taxed and would then have to go through the claims procedure, I suspect my wife may well struggle to understand the procedure.

     

    The tax on the Personal Allowance element is is about 9,400 Baht a month, so not an insignificant amount.

    I've never even heard that you can have pages added to a passbook. Whenever I showed up at the bank with a full passbook, they issued me a new one.

     

    Kasikorn added some extra pages a year or so, or rather stapled a slip with an extra page, when I deposited some cash in another branch, I was advised that I'd have to go the branch that held my account to get a new book.

    How about the PCR test and other required paperwork and the getting to BKK? You make it sound so easy.

     

    It's so clear that this forum is full of older people who have forgotten what it's like to be young. 

    So they come down like a ton of bricks on anyone who does not have their sixty+ years of experience.

     

    It could be done if you set your mind to and you really need to get back to start your degree course, and for the record I'm not coming down on anybody, unlike yourself, I'm saying there are options, if you look hard enough.
