Marrying Thai Girl In Thailand Who's Married Already In Hong Kong

Do register the marriage with the DSS in the UK as there are social security benefits to be had.

Settlement Visas to the UK specifically state "No recourse to public funds". NHS treatment is free and if there is a child involved, then i believe the UK citizen who is the adoptive parent can claim Child Tax Credit.

The sponsor has to prove that he / she can support their spouse, financially and accomodation wise.

I am in possession of a written statement from The Pension Service that on my demise my wife is entitled to claim Bereavement Payment of £2000 and depending on her age Bereavement Benefit for a maximum of 52 weeks. Should she be over pension age when I die, she would lose any pension she may have been awarded as my wife, but would inherit my pension instead. It was this that I classified as a social security benefit.

Sorry for being a bit off topic. But is anyone going to fight for justice for this thai girl's being treated unfairly? Especially those who complained about the difficulty to come to thailand.

Treated unfairly????, by whom? Please explain.

I think he is poking fun at all the posters that complain about Thai visa regulations. Walk in the a Thai woman's shoes and some might realize how easy we have it in Thailand in regards to visa issues.

I'm a glutton for punishment. I was warned that this isn't the place to advocate Thai visa regs.
