  1. Hi there, My wife and I reside in Northern Ireland.  My wife has British Indefinite Leave to remain and Irish citizenship. We want to invite our 15 year old Thai nephew to come and visit us in Northern Ireland. I know we have to show proof we can sustain his travel and stay in Northern Ireland without recourse to public funds, living accommodation and proof we legally reside in Northern Ireland. What I am not sure about is what my sister in law has to provide with the application in Thailand? I would imagine she has to write a letter granting permission for his travel, airline ticket and travel insurance.  What other documents must she include with the application?  What proof does a 15 year old show for reason to return to Thailand if he is not returning to education.

    Your help is greatly appreciated

    Thanks

  2. Its quite clear that the people in this post who are espousing violence are clearly in support of her majesty's government in Ireland. Irish citizens seem to be the only side willing to make sacrifices for peace. But then again when you don't live in Ireland and don't have to deal with state sponsored violence then its all only a game played out on the computer while drinking your first breakfast beer of the day.

  3. Lots of big talk here about dealing with so called IRA scum and what you would do with them. Why don't your bring this topic up with the next Irish man you meet and see what answer you get. There are plenty of Irish bars in Thailand where your bound to find a paddy. Go in and give it to the so called scum. And when your at it you might even find one of those jihadi scum who blew up your London buses. That would even be easier than finding an Irish man.

    I saw a former UK Marine do just this one night to some 'Irish' prat (with a Manc accent (?) who claimed he was IRA) who'd been drunkenly spouting Anti-British crap for the best part of an hour in a British bar on Sukhumwit late one night until one lad had heard enough and invited the lad to take his nonsense out into the soi.

    He maybe thought because most of the blokes in the pub were older than him they'd be intimidated by his cheap tattoos, bald head, fat gut and PHd in talking B*llocks.

    He was called 'Mick' too funnily enough.....

    Though He wasn't too keen to carry on the 'discussion' when invited out in the soi by this marine who would be joined by a few other rather pee'd off ex servicemen/Brits who'd been putting up with his drivel for a while; in fact; I rather fancy 'Mick' then did a pooh in his pants, paid his bill, ran off into the first cab he could grab so that somewhat undermines your silly post....

    Maybe being an 'IRA terrorist' is this year's "I was in the SAS but can't talk about it...." trend of BS to hit the expat bars of Thailand for 2015.....?

    You mean they waited hours until the guy was drunk and easy ;)

    Oh yes Micks are invincible, but good to know who on here supports murdering scum, including those who like your comment.

    Been there, wore the T shirt. Oh and by the way the British Government pay my salary.

    And to make a few of the hard men here choke on their morning Leo, thanks to the Good Friday Agreement anyone convicted of so called heinous crimes are not barred from working anywhere they want. There are few university lecturers that I know that not only teach politics and history, they made it. I also know men who were incarcerated by a dip lock court who are now teachers in England.

    Here is a lawyer who left the IRA because they entered the peace process. There are hundreds like him

    Time is a great healer. Especially for those who were in the middle of the madness and that’s on all sides. From experience the bitterness comes from those who haven't got a clue and their biggest challenge in life is getting the price of the next pint.

  5. Paisley was the devil incarnate who was responsible for countless deaths and openly encouraged his sectarian loyalist friends to plunder Catholic neighbourhoods looking for their next innocent victim. He will be burning in hell I have no doubt.

    And before this post gets deleted you may want to look at the murdering scum Martin McGuiness post as I am not aware of him either being found guilty or admitting killing anyone.

  6. Myself and my wife are going to Chumpon next week for 3 days to visit her family. Her family live out in the sticks so know very little about town life. Is there anywhere we can go in the evening for a nice meal, music and a few drinks?

    We will be staying at the A-Te hotel. Which is close to the Morning Market it think is called.

    Thanks in advance for your replies

  7. I have been stopped twice. Once in a taxi during the red shirt protest. They got me out of the taxi for a search. Very intimidating but no problems. Second time was in September at Ekami bus station. 3 cops surrounded me and searched me and my bags. They Also had a hold of my passport for longer than what was comfortable. Again all very intimadating. They said they were searching for bombs. I had a lot of prescription meds with me. But they accepted my explanation that they were for my heart and they let me rush off to Nana for a few drinks to calm my nerves :-)

  8. I would drink around soi buakhao when I am Pattaya. But I have never knowingly bought a buy 1 get 1 free beer. So I assume I have walked away and left my beer in the fridge to be resold.

    It would be a help to members if we could form a list of bars that offer the buy 1 get 1 free option so we will not lose out in future.

  9. Hello good members. Now that is has been confirmed I can no longer get an EU Family permit via my Irish passport, I am researching what is required for a UK Spouse Visa. It seems very difficult compared to the UK Visitors Visa

    I think I have a grasp of what is required.

    • Translated and stamped copies of our marriage certificates
    • Proof of the length of our relationship
    • Copies of passports, showing all visitors stamps for myself and UK visitors visa's for my wife
    • Proof of my employment and salary.
    • Bank statements showing my previous 6 salary lodgements
    • TB Medical report and X ray for my wife
    • English speaking and listening exam for wife
    • Proof of where we are going to live.

    Is there anything I have left out?

    In relation to my salary and bank statements. I meet the £18,600 per year threshold. But I will have little or no savings left after this. Is that a problem?

    When applying for my wife's visitors visa, I was able to print off my online bank statements. Is this not accepted for the Spouse Visa? I will need originals from the bank? Also do I need a letter from my employer stating salary and length of employment?

    As my wife will be leaving her country for the long term, I take it she does not have to have to submit proof of employment? Salary? Or savings?

    What proof of accommodation is required? We will be living with my Father in his home. Currently a 4 bedroom house which he owns

    I am also shocked by the price of the Spouse Visa. It is very upsetting to think that I have worked since I was 16 and my wife has to jump through such hoops when my own city is full of immigrants who are here to bleed what ever they can out of the system.

    Thank you in advance for your replies!!

  10. Hello members, I am somewhat confused as to what Visa my wife should apply for. I am a resident of Northern Ireland and I hold an Irish passport. Do I apply to the UK for a spouse Visa or do I apply to the EU for a family permit?

    My wife has had two previous visitor visa's to the UK and we completed the visa application ourselves. What different documents are required for the spouse visa/eu family permit? I do know that i have to get the marriage certificate translated and stamped.

    Thanks in advance for your replies

    Mike.

  11. Hello members, So I need to get an Affirmation To Marry document from the British Embassy? Do I simply turn up at the Embassy with my passport and ask for this document?

    Then I get it officially translated to Thai and verified at the MFA Office in Bangkok? Where would I get this official translation and what is the MFA Office in Bangkok?

    Thank you.
