Great news! I hope the Thai's start complaining that no one in the UK speaks Thai.

 

Since when did Thai become an international language? 🤔

my take is all Thais will be eligible for 30days visa free.

Your take is wishful thinking.

So thais can now go to the UK for a holiday and not need a visa?

No, they will talk about it: "active talks will now focus on granting visa-free access to Thai passport holders in the United Kingdom."

RECIPROCITY is a great word to read when topics of this nature are announced. In other words, if Thai passport holders are able to enter the UK free, then UK passport holders should be able to enter Thailand on the same basis… not likely when Thailand relies on this cash cow for income…

People from the UK can enter Thailand 30 days for free already, Thais can't do that to the UK. You are blaming the wrong country.

So Dave, signing an agreement with a representative of a military junta that pi**es on democracy must give you a nice warm feeling inside?😒

Interesting if a little disturbing to see a racist's POV.

So still struggling to come to terms with UK beginning to recognise Thailand as an equal.

 

The UK Royal Family could learn a thing or two from Thailand on how to manage scandals

I know lots of Foreigners that have taken their Thai girlfriends to England for a holiday and stayed there and got work. one is teaching English in a public school another is a waitress in a country hotel and another one works in a bakery.. I speak to them most weeks on FB. they used to by my students in a private language school years ago.

Sounds like the UK is on top of things...........

Thais are notorious for overstaying their visas and working illegally in other countries.

 

bob.

They are indeed.

 

There is a reason why tourist visas are so hard to get, because the history of Thai's overstaying!

 

In my wife's circle of Thai friends here in South Dakota, only her and one other came here legally, all the rest overstay until eventually they ended up marrying and getting an adjustment of status.

 

How many Thai's are in South Korea as overstay?

 

I bet anyone who lives outside Bangkok with a Thai wife knows at least one.

 

Good luck with this Mr Cameron, cos you're gonna need it, great story for illegal immigration control!

you wouldnt notice them amongst all the Arabs, Indian Sub continent, eastern Europeans.

That’s because they aren’t constantly demanding everything be changed for their benefits - eg we need a temple built in every town

With Thailand's corrupt courts, governments, Police and day-to-day practices, xenophobic and racist behaviour it is a long way off from becoming equal to the UK.

 

How's life in your ' woke world '

Another observation on racists....they are unable to actually put forward any arguments so they resort to cliches..e.g. "woke".

Oh they will, just give them a bit of time!

 

[Purdey]

Part of the roadmap should include reciprocity. I have met Thais with houses in the UK. Land ownership here is never discussed. Naturalization here is another topic.

[barrybike]

Probably  get a 30 day stay after that then back home 

[Cabradelmar]

Rich Thais (the only ones who can afford intl travel) can easily get visas anyway. But this does open up a market for prostitutes and marriage scams 😂... Not really much use to the majority of everyone else.

Best to quote poster if you want them to read it.To reply. My view is formed by personal experience, many examples Ive related previously. If NZ govt chose not to deport Oz crims more fool them, and the voters. Oz bikergangs are just one eg of kiwi involved in crime, thousands there have crim history, you mention one Australian!!

They already do. An Indian restaurant owner near my mother's house in Cumbria was sent down for 3 years for employing illegal immigrants

Nothing racist about me, It's you who is a bigot.

 

You don't need to draw my attention to anything as nothing you have to say interests me.

 

And resorting to rude memes in links shows not only have you not achieved in getting your point across, but you have had to use gutter humour to reinforce your bigotry.

They don't want to join anything that involves reciprocity

 

They only want the parts that directly benefit themselves.

 

Always been that way.

Luckily the Mrs never wants to the UK again, she says it's too dirty and too full of foreigners!

We can say the same thing about Thailand 🤣

[Sweet Swede]

We just completed the Visa UK 6 Month Tourist Visa application for my wife. Total cost about 8000 bath. I did it all myself without any paid assistance. 15 pages with all kind of questions like Father/Mother Names and Birth data, any Terrorists/Criminals in the family, and many more weird questions.  It felt more like an application for Citizenship. I dont believe that they ever will allow Visa free entry for Thai Citizens. It is nothing but window dressing.
