I don't think she'll have a problem finding a native English language teacher.

I thought that the Thai government had revoked all of her passports.  How did she get a visa without a valid passport?

Because she is a Montenegrin citizen now - or possibly even a citizen of Uganda, Nicaragua or St. Kitts and Nevis?

Lurk a bit before jumping in on a topic such as this.

What Thai government..They are blundering fools

clever woman.....first entrepreneur, and at the same time asylum. Good choice.

I hope she will be soon back with her brother as free Thai citizen after the junta will be gone.

If this is correct one of the requirements for an entrepreneur visa is - "a criminal record certificate from any country you have stayed in for a total of 12 months or more over the last 10 years".
 
Wonder how she got that! [emoji99]

Perhaps the UK authorities didn't regard a conviction for an essentially political "offence", handed down by a court with "political" in it's title, and controlled by a junta government established by a coup which was staged to forstalled an election which would quite likely have returned her to office, as a "criminal offence".
Not beyond the bounds of possibility now is it?

The visa was probably obtianed before conviction. It is called forward planning. It is something that Chinese Thais are quite good at but an ability that most Thais are yet to develop.

Perhaps she might offer to advise the UK-government pro bono, they are desperately in-need of a plan for subsidising/maintaining their own agricultural-sector, after Brexit removes the current essential subsidies ?

Yingluck applied for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa, which allows the holder to stay in the UK for a maximum of three years and four months, reports quoting unnamed sources in Pheu Thai Party said.

That's my girl! I hear Ying's Thai Bites has already got Planning thumbs-up . . . right outside Bucks Palace, too, for all you selfie saddoes.

Now there's a thought , Yingluck for PM , which party she would favour ? Not too sure.

Just goes to show "Money talks and BS walks" Good Luck young lady hoping the Brits are taking care of you because they are as sure as hell not taking care of it's own citizens!

It's a shame she's not human herself...but a selfish, uncaring, conniving criminal who robbed us of millions, and caused the death of poor people who suffered as a result of her actions. She should pay dearly, as sentenced, instead of enjoying unlimited freedom in the UK.

After Brexit, the entire May's Removals team will hot-foot it over here, having heard that dummies can do a better job.

Yingluck in UK on entrepreneur visa: Pheu Thai

I am afraid my dear that you have just described the essential qualities present in all politicians be they past, present or future. That is just the nature of the beast. Yingluck cannot be singled out from her peers and contemporaries just because she was (rather unconvincingly) tried and found guilty. 

She could have bought a passport from the Maltese Government, they are for sale at the right price.

I believe that this cat visa requires you to include banking details.... specifically, all PIN numbers.

Stop asking awkward questions or you, too, could end up having to do a bunk.

So... an entrepreneur visa... no one else came up with that... perhaps Yingluck is smarter than her opponents in power, after all

 

side note re passports... couldn’t she simply have gotten the visa in any Thai passport (4... lmao!), prior to them being suspended?

Sad that it only requires £200,000 to get this visa. The UK is cheap. Think Bolivia.
