    No reply from embassy - as per usual! 

     

    The UK Embassy play no part in visa applications, they will refer you to the the UKVI Website, though that isn't very helpful since they veered away from offering advice on supporting documents, preferring to give advice during the application process.

     

    "bigyin" has provided the relevant advice, it has to be translated with translator’s name and date of translation, you don't need to get it certified by the MFA, that's for Thailand related applications.

    Bank accounts of a deceased person are frozen until probate is completed. It would be a criminal offence for his G/F to access it or attempt to.


    What happens to the funds in a joint account in the event of the demise of one of the account holders?
     

    We have joint accounts in the Isle of Man and here in Thailand, in the IoM the account automatically reverts to the remaining partner in the event of the others death, not sure about here.

    Meanwhile in Pattaya NOTHING.  Four elderly farangs drove to Bang Sue.  Only one got through the screening process as he was over 75.

     

    A number of my friends resident in Pattaya have confirmed appointments at MedPark for next week, and are travelling up together.
    Likewise I made an appointment for this week and travelled up from Hua Hin to receive my jab, I'm not over 75.
    That said, I'm led to believe that Bangkok vaccination points may now be restricting the service to Bangkok resident only, though I haven't seen anything official to confirm that.

    But my understanding has always been that UK visa applicants are not supposed to book any flights before the outcome of their applications is known. This is in complete contrast to applications for Schengen visas where confirmed flight bookings are a prerequisite.


    It’s actually a recommendation from the UKVI advising that non refundable or fully flexible flights shouldn’t be purchased before the visa is issued.

     

    The requirements for Schengen are similar though some Consulates impose their own tougher interpretation.

    I didn't contradict your statement, I only pointed out a fact.

    I might also point out that a 'Select Committee', has nothing to do with petitions.

     

    Petitions Committee

    Commons Select Committee

    The Petitions Committee considers e-petitions submitted on Parliament’s petitions website and public (paper) petitions presented to the House of Commons, engaging the public directly with the work of the House.

    Petitions never get debated in the house of commons.  They are normally debated in another chamber within the parliament building by those who wish to attend. The outcome is never been put to parliament.

     

    I said they can be debated in Parliament, I never mentioned the House of Commons.


    Select Committees in both houses are part of Parliament, they can demand evidence from and make recommendations to the Government, the Goverment must respond.

  8. Upnotover is correct, your daughter must leave the UK on or before the expiry date printed on her visa.

     

    She may have a problem flying to the UK if her return ticket is after he visa expires, if she reached the UK Border, she could also have a problem if the Border Force Officer picked it up, which they should.

     

    Whilst overstaying for less than 30 days wouldn't incur a ban on re-entering, it could well be an issue in a future application, the circumstances you describe probably wouldn't be regarded as a valid reason for overstaying.

    I assume that they wll leave Thailand with the Thai passport and enter the UK with the UK passport. Then leave the UK with the UK passport and enter Thailand with the Thai passport. They won't be refused entry to the UK as they're UK citizens. Just check if you will all have to go into quarantine because you will have come from Thailand. I don't know.

     

    At this time Thailand is an Amber Country so, unless they travel via the UAE or another red country, hotel quarantine is not required, but self isolation at the destination address is.
