I'm popping back to the Uk for 3-4 weeks in Jan, after that I'll be coming back to start looking at opening a business.

I already have a few TVs in my passport, as well as that beautiful DONT COME BACK TO PENANG stamp. If I get a new passport in the UK and apply for a triple entry tourist visa in Hull what are the chances that I'll get it without any hassle?

If you have a visa it really would not matter what passport you use. The idea is to have a visa.

What I was trying to ask was, will it be easy for me to get a visa in Hull (UK) if I have already had a few Tourist visas in my passport.

Do not believe it would make any difference.

As the Uk is your home country I do not believe you will have a problem, I get a triple entry from Hull each winter, never had a problem, it's people doing border runs to adjacent countries that the Thais seem to be targeting.

Hull will issue a multi entry non-o type visa 'visiting friends and family' which can later be used to obtain a work permit once you get your business started.

May be a better option, good for up to 15 months in LoS (90 day border runs required).

I got mine from Hull last month. Very easy. I came armed with briefcase full of documentation which they did not even ask to look at. They just wanted the application form (downloadable from the website), a photocopy of my passport, a photo and the payment.

Voila!

And yes I already had plenty of Tourist Visas in my passport.

Lastly, their website is very helpful and they are also very helpful on the phone.
