I'm not signing up for some bullshight cookery course to potentially qualify lol Which leaves METV or SETV (I would not remotely pay for some elite visa you'd have to be a total whackjob to risk that) The METV requires 6 months bank statements showing high level of monies on average. When I asked whether I could upload any number of investment account in 6 figures plus am told not acceptable ! I dont keep wads in currents accounts because can retrieve monies in 1 minute if I ever need to Which leaves SETV which is no problem As it happens I'm doing exactly the same as OP albeit I'd probably stay in Danang 2 weeks So either in 2027 I either arrange to keep £5000 in current account for 6 months and apply for METV or again as is intended this year run with 2 x SETVTue, 30 Jun 2026 01:35:59 +0000There is no problem in the UK, Fairies are becoming more prolific.Tue, 30 Jun 2026 01:35:19 +0000In my lifetime: Reagan just behind Clinton.

On second thoughts.Tue, 30 Jun 2026 01:28:53 +0000Your logic is completely flawed - In 2026 - Mass shootings with 4 or more injuries - 3 - Germany 98 - USA Populations - 84 million Germany 339 million USA USA has approximately 4 times the population of Germany, but 33 times the number of mass shootings. As you have stated Germany does have strict gun laws, which seem to be working well, although it appears impossible to prevent everything. However, from the above stats it appears that the ratio is 1 mass shooting in a strict gun control location to 7 in a country with loose gun controls. But if in doubt you can fall back on blaming brown foreigners.Tue, 30 Jun 2026 01:28:14 +0000At 69 (next week) a pee break does take a little longer :-(Tue, 30 Jun 2026 01:28:09 +0000Shot down by Royal Thai Air Force fighters.

I speak Thai and there are lots of things to do. But I couldn't live on a 30,000 a month budget and sit in one area.
