  1. Another article from the Post about the possible flipflop, this time with with quotes from the director-general of the Revenue Department https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3041421/new-approach-to-overseas-income-aims-to-spur-inflows
  2. Gave them a call, as helpful as they were they could only see the the officer requires those docs and not offer any other help.
  3. Just turned 3. Yeah bit annoyed this wasn't spotted on application. Although maybe it's not the standard docs and they just want more in this specific instance? Although the wording suggestions not: Unfortunately you did not enclose all necessary supporting documents.
  4. Maybe a county that has lower than 5 in 1000 traffic-related death rate, compared to countries like Thailand that have a 32 in 1000 rate?
  5. Still looking! Still looking! Thanks for suggestion. Spent quite a lot of time down that way in Pran Buri Yeah we prefer activities rather than just sitting around a pool
  6. I just got a letter from HM Passport Office about missing docs from our application and it sounds like it's proof of address in thier name is needed: This is what we originally supplied: Daughter Birth Certificate Daughter Birth Certificate Copy Daughter Birth Certificate Translation Daughter Birth Certificate Translation Copy Daughters Thai Passport Daughters Thai Passport (every single page) Fathers (mine) Birth Certificate (original long one) Fathers (mine) Birth Certificate Copy Fathers (mine) Passport Fathers (mine) Passport Copy (only stamped pages) Letter showing my name and address in Thailand in English Wife's ID Card Wife's ID Card Copy Wife's Passport Wife's Passport Copy Wife Birth Certificate Wife Birth Certificate Copy Marriage Certificate Marriage Certificate Copy Marriage Certificate Translation Marriage Certificate Translation Copy Wife's change of Forename certificate Wife's change of Forename certificate Copy Wife's change of Forename certificate Translation Wife's change of Forename certificate Translation Copy
  7. Thanks, but I should have added it the list. Been there, done that!
  8. Yeah i think the checklist and volume of documents my pals used to use must have been left over from the previous requirements years back.
  9. That question is not on the online application though? Are they asked this by the person receiving the application at VFS?
  10. No don't worry, not taken that way. I also share my experience and list of docs with friends and associates to help them understand what is needed, least with our application. I was just interested in what you thought was unnecessary from my docs, as most people have the exact opposite reaction. I don't agree with that though, they state under the other documents you can provide can show "Evidence of the relationship, if any, between you and your sponsor". It makes no sense not to include one if you are married.
  11. Indeed, they specifically list them as things not to provide: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/visitor-visa-guide-to-supporting-documents/guide-to-supporting-documents-visiting-the-uk 13. Documents you should not use as evidence Some types of documents are less useful as evidence in visit applications. These include: bank statements or letters issued more than 1 year before the date of application credit card statements driving licence educational certificates that are not listed as required for your visa evidence of car ownership personal photographs notarial certificates business cards hotel bookings flight bookings (unless transiting) photocopies of bank cards certificates relating to leisure activities, for example sports trophies travel insurance sponsor’s utility bills sponsor’s council tax bills When we first applied for UK visit Visa 10 years ago, some guys at work had a checklist they used to apply for their partners. It was gigantic! They were supplying loads of photos, print outs of text messages between them and partners, email exchanges, phone records, Hotels booking from holidays together in Thailand, flight records, travel insurance receipts, all sorts of stuff. I saw one guy's stack of application documents and it was as thick as book. I went online and started though the process and noted exactly what they asked for and only supplied just that. Told the guys at work what I provided and they sure we wouldn't be successful in our application.
  12. Which documents would you say were unnecessary? (Apart from my original Passport) Letter from Sponsor (me) explaining: Why I'm paying for the trip (Because I earn more than she does) How long we have been together, how long we have been married, when child was born, that we own a house together. Reason for UK visit (friends and family) Very rough itinerary (visiting for approx. 1 month, staying with parents, might go on holiday to the coast - that's as in-depth as it got) Letter from my Dad explaining: He's my Dad Google map link to Address Copy of his Passport Page Marriage certificate Marriage certificate Translation Letter from Sponsor (me) explaining: Why I'm paying for the trip (Because I earn more than she does) Letter from my Dad explaining: Will be providing food and accommodation for majority of our stay [This supports the total amount she gave to spend on the Trip] My work contract (not a Thai company) [This is evidence we We can pay for the trip] My UK current account statement past 6 months (showing salary deposited each month) [This is evidence we We can pay for the trip] My UK Savings account statement past 6 months [This is evidence we We can pay for the trip] Letter from Sponsor (me) explaining: How long we have been together, how long we have been married, when child was born, that we own a house together. My Thai savings account statement past 6 months
  13. Oh you mean the seller of the business could start another website and try and take back the customers? I thought you meant just any person start a similar website. Non-compete clauses for a certain period are often included in contracts when selling a turnkey business for that reason.
  14. The same logic goes for setting up a business then. It's not that simple though. It might already have a MRR from subscriptions, a loyal customer based, might be a well known product within a niche, could have traffic from successful marketing channels, email sub subscribers, etc Simply saying you can start another website and be in the exact same situation as another website is not the case. Where are your customers going to come from?
