the scouser Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Aye. A settlement visa now £515.00. Mind you, it's only fair. How else are we going to afford to pay MP's wages and keep their wives, children, grannies, aunts, uncles, dogs, cats, and associated hangers-on employed? Scouse.

billd766 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Where is Robin Hood when you need him against the wicked government of King Gordon? Perhaps he is pulling the Chancellor strings with an alias of Robbing Hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannarepat Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Looks like I was just in time to save 15 quid....honestly what do these huge fees go on? Glancing through an evidence folder, filling out an entry on a computer DB, and putting a sticker in a passport......bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottleymike Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 My Thai wife has a settlement visa in her Thai passport. When her passport ran out she got a new one, and kept the old one with the settlement visa in it. I asked UK immigration the cost of putting the settlement stamp into the new passport. At the time from memory it was 250 pounds, for transfering one stamp. But I found out that you do not have to do this, as long as she carries both passports. Then when leaving Thailand she can show the check in staff she has a valid visa to UK. And when going through Heathrow ( or any other UK airport) she shows both passports. The current one gets stamped with the admittance and departure stamps, and the old one is used to show the settlement visa giving right of entry. Anyone in a similar situation can do the same and save 250 pounds from going to grabbing Gordon and his shiesters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
