But I would be with you in Court if it came down to it. I wonder whether the DWP has 'spies' reading this Forum.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:38:28 +0000Thai cooking..... I read his book.....Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:38:13 +0000Fact is if you bounce and come straight back into Thailand it's obvious that you already had the eVisa in place. Mind you it's obvious even if you stayed days in Laos as dates on stamps in pp show that. I repeat for others.... Remain in the country you are applying for the eVisa until approval. Then enter Thailand with the visa. Please report back with update of how things pan out at Nong Khai. I suspect that io will just stamp you in according to the valid eVisa. Obviously you will have hard copy print out..Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:38:03 +0000This is just another case where the criminal doesn't belong in my country. What country in the world would tolerate people that sneak cross the border to evade detection . "A foreign national , of Jamaica, entered the U.S. in Miami, Fla., in 1995 as a stowaway and was previously deported as a murderer. Aliens arriving as stowaways are not eligible for admission under 8 U.S. Code § 1225 and he was issued a final order of removal in 1997, but before immigration officials were able to remove him, he ended up convicted of murder in Minnesota in relation to a drug trafficking offense and sentenced to serve 192 months in prison". https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2062928758948999676?s=20Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:37:58 +0000I had been using my brother's home address for my US bank (where my ss is sent by direct deposit) but his failing health forced him to sell the house. I called my bank and asked if I could use my Thai mailing address since I would be vacating my US home address and moving to Thailand. After a few questions and messages from bank, they agreed and said no problem using my Thai address. I was really relieved. It's a regional bank in the northeast. Based in Buffalo I think.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:37:40 +0000I think its too late that's another boat that has already sailed and then again wait until they start retiring, another threat to the triple lock, although pensions may not be option for native brits who refuse to convert to islamSat, 06 Jun 2026 06:37:05 +0000And you still make stuff up! 🤣Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:36:05 +0000I'm sure you mean well with your post, however I have tried all that you have suggested and when I saw him yesterday at Starbucks, he had already managed to buy himself a roll of some description and when I asked him if he would like something else to eat he declined suggesting that a double black coffee would be sufficient. Believe me when I say that I have explored every opportunity/avenue/etc with him, including going back to Germany, however he doesn't want to be there and he made that quite plain. Also he has no one in Germany from whom he can borrow funds, although as I said previously, he does appear to have a couple of "benefactors" here who are supporting him one way or another, but not in any great financial way. My intent on catching up with him was to try and explore every opportunity with him and to get him thinking along those lines, but he is quite prepared to stay here for as long as he can (Visa funds notwithstanding) or go to Malaysia, or indeed he did suggest Jordan, wherein he has a female friend. I've done everything I can with regards to helping him and my suggestions to trigger some sort of action from him, but to no avail, so now it's purely down to him what he wants to do and how he lives his life, whichever way that may be. I am not prolonging any outcome, as indeed I have suggested ways that he can get out of the situation he is in and leave here – – many times. Now as the old saying in Thailand goes: – "up to you" by which of course I mean "up to him".Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:35:24 +0000Hard to lie, when they never ask! I'd be more than happy to be the first pensioner in UK court over this matter. What are the chances?Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:35:19 +0000Yes, those shop houses are occupied by retired, lonely, single foreigners. It must be a sad life for some, no family, nothing to do day in day out.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:35:16 +0000No loneliness and it's great, once you are content you won't feel lonelinessSat, 06 Jun 2026 06:33:45 +0000Routinely, no, they don't check. But, if any little thing alerts DWP / HMRC to the fact that you're telling lies, then they have the right, and ability to open an investigation. I can promise you, that once such an investigation is opened, "tenacious" doesn't even begin to describe it.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:32:16 +0000So, as it stands now, all I have to do is wait for the form 7126 and hope it makes it sometime in June or soon thereafter. I received the form last year but the previous year it never arrived at my Thai mailing address. I made copies of the form I had received previously and used that and attached a short letter of explanation. It seemed to have worked. If I end up having to call, I think I'll use the 401 number.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:29:38 +0000Racist Jew haters predictably proudly showing their stuff.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:29:33 +0000actually "a once great country" would be more accurateSat, 06 Jun 2026 06:29:26 +0000After seven years of working in Shenanigans as musician and quiz-master, I met so many of those SAS men etc, I did meet a few good ones too. I am so happy I left the place. And possibly the customers there are happy also! 555Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:29:24 +0000Ah-huh. Sure he has. Now Tony is just going to stay at home and enjoy playing with his grandchildren. 'Eh? 😎 Bottom line: I'll believe it when I see it.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:28:29 +0000Lets face facts. What's coming, without doubt , and it won't be long , is a Muslim government, once that happens things will change very very quickly God help the Uk for those who doubt it look at Iran and Lebanon Only a miracle or perhaps WW3 will stop this from happening On the bright side, leftist enablers will be the first to be decapitated or thrown off the roof, even the muzzers hate traitorsSat, 06 Jun 2026 06:27:57 +0000Now that is not a bad day! My days are similar but lack a defined schedule. I just want to get what is important done in no particular order.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:26:38 +0000Attended Muslim services at school in Nigeria Only born in the UK, (raised in Nigeria) cos her parents were using the UK hospital at the time. Claims she loves her country Nigeria on video. Guess what, politicians will say any lie to get elected. Which is why we should not allow immigrants to be part of the UK government. If Kemi (aka Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke) was born in a stable, would you be claiming she was a horse?Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:26:19 +0000And you live by yourself? No lonilessness?Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:26:10 +0000That's quite possible. In Medieval Europe many of them were artful coin clippers. Are my 10 baht chips getting smaller, or is it just my imagination?Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:26:06 +0000It's normal for thai banks to charge circ 500 baht when they receive a swift paymentSat, 06 Jun 2026 06:25:07 +0000Do your reform and restore parties have a policy on this blatant injustice? I think you can forget labour winning the next election.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:25:05 +0000Thank you Simon. Your post helped a lot before I received the results. Glad all worked out well for you too. Hope your words help others in future.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 06:24:39 +0000
