Help has already been given by those that understand the question. Maybe you can explain what answers he could have given to your question "Why?" that would help you answer his original question, which was " We returned to the register office after a month to be told that I must supply my mother and father's details. Is this a requirement to be registered in the book or is it just stalling?"

French and German tourists turn their back on Brexit Britain

Add to that the figures for arrivals in November 2022, announced in March 2023, were 2% up on November 2019. -
My point proved once again.

You are having a bad time. That has created a situation whereby everything you see or hear you do so in a negative way. Even having a go at some posters on here. Your choice is simple. Lighten up or leave. BTW, I would have thought a man of your high standing would have made sure their child was brought up to speak English as well as Thai. Would give him opportunities to escape the "s#it house" he lives in.

Cost me? We are married. Not business partners. Our home is also in a village. No English. Only Thai and Khmer. I've learnt to speak good Thai and a little Khmer. I integrate with family and villagers well. I like to eat Somtam too. ????

"These Isaan women". You are talking shout 1 woman. Not many. I've been married to a lovely Isaan lady for 22 years. You appear to have made an error in your decision and should, by the sound of it, move on. Don't tar all with the same brush.

If the applicant is just your girlfriend and she wants a spouse visa with a view to swtlement, she'll need to get a fiancé visa. I believe it gives your girlfriend 6 month entry, in which time you'll need to get married in UK. No need to use an agent. The UKVI website is straight forward. Just tell the truth, give them the documents they want and follow the rules. Simple.

No. It was a scenario. The problem with reports talking about salary is they don't discuss other measures. People change their opinions to suit. Recent strikes have been because people want pay rises in line with inflation. In the past 15 years inflation has only been above 4% in 3 of those years. For many workers to be £11000 better off that would have equated to annual salary increases in excess of 7% above what they already received. Oh look, salaries not linked to inflation. Oh, we can't have that, can we?

You seem to be confusing state pension age with some kind of compulsory retirement age. There are no rules on retirement. It's all about planning. Before you bang on about it's only the wealthy that can retire early, it's not. My state pension age is 67. I will be retired a good 7 years before that. My salary has always been at the lowest tax bracket. Not a high salary but enough to save, invest and prepare for early retirement. It's really not difficult. Even your mate Mr Starmer has stated he will not be using the tax break on pension pots as he doesn't have top.

You seem to forget inflation has only been an issue for under a year. Prior to Covid most people were sitting pretty. Hardly anyone was complaining about inflation, interest rates or the cost of living. In fact, during lockdowns many people were over the moon to be sitting at home on 80% of their salary tax free. If, in a moment of madness, any government were to suddenly give everyone an £11000 a year payrise, prices would soar. Within months no one would be any better off.

Let's give everyone an £11000 a year payrise. All those in retail, in the service industry, civil servants too. Everyone that works. Businesses and government agencies, etc will then need to pass the costs on to the public. Then let's watch cost of living increase by factors in the 10+. Income tax rises. Train tickets, bus tickets, airline tickets, food, fuel, energy, clothes. Then everyone can work out how much better off they are. Likely, nothing.

It's often a good idea to cover your a$#@ and take things immigration might want. One thing I take, which no one has mentioned, is a copy of my passport for me. With my passport being held at the consulate all day and overnight, it's good to have in my pocket. I guess a pink ID card would work as well.
