kranuan Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 i am living in uk ( northern ireland ) my wife has a thai friend from london, this friend she knew from pattaya many years ago ( yes they worked in the same bar before any one gives any snide comments ) now they have got into contact again. anyway the friend apparently from what i can figure out has been left homeless by her husband, its vague and it seems she is living in some kind of hoste/safe house, whether that is something to do with domestic violence or something on her part i do not know. her visa has run out , think she has overstayed her holiday or whatever visa she had and reports to immigration fortnightly. my wife wants her friend to come here to stay with her for a few weeks and was even going to book a ticket for her friend with her credit card to fly to northern ireland but i told wife that i did not agree with this, maybe immigration will come looking for her when and if she fails to report to them, i also do not trust people who my wife brings into our house to stay especially when i do not have a relationship or got to know them , i know thai,s are different. am i worrying over nothing ? this girl says the immigration said its ok for her to come visit but i do not feel the same way. my wife said i think too much... what do you think ?

x0r1987 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Check with Immigration yourself? Or is that you, weather she can come or not, you just dont want her to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kranuan Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 immigration has said in her words to my wife, she has to report 2 weekly. i am vague about the issues she is having . obviously if immigration says she can stay in london then she can stay anywhere in uk, my wife has trusted friends before who stole off her etc etc , i do not want my wife having any kind of problem whether it be with her friend or ukba. think im going to trust my instincts on this one but was just curious to ask you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi41 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If your wife really want to help her friend, let her buy her a one way ticket to Thailand! The friend will get home, and you will not be stuck with a visitor, you can't get rid off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimblegrumble Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Odd, to me, that they have got in contact again after a few years and after your wifes friend has got into trouble. How did they get in contact? Did they give each other their respective UK phone numbers? Hard to do if they have not been in contact for a few years. I'd not have the friend sat at my place, in the situation you describe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim207 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 As you didn't specify why your wife wants her to visit I will assume it is to help her out, not just as a visit from a friend. Look at it from your wife's point of view. She could just as easily have wound up in the same situation and be looking to HER friend to help HER. Another thing that comes to mind is that you don't trust your wife's judgement and you actually don't want her to help a friend that has a very similar life experience as her. I would verify info with immigration, find out what is on your wife's mind and see what you can do to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgs2001uk Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Remind your wife of this Thai saying, Not my family not my problem. whether that is something to do with domestic violence or something on her part i do not know Sorry to be so cynical, more like gambling debts or returning to her former profession. i know thai,s are different. Sorry to be so blunt, but you dont know shit, Thais are no different than the rest of us. See my second sentance. am i worrying over nothing ? Yes, because nothing will come of it, tell your mrs, no way, or in Thai, took pan ha mee tang ork. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Immigration said it's okay to remain in the UK illegally ? If they can't find her passport then pretty much yes, they will say its OK. Stipulation being that she will have to report (every week?). It is simply too much trouble to send them home without the passport. This applies to thousands if not 10's of thousands in UK. As for being able to travel around UK, I don't know.

As for being able to travel around UK, I don't know. So any foreigner who loses his passport after he arrived in the UK can stay there indefinitely? When I lose my passport I will have to go to my embassy with the police report to get a travel document or a new passport, after which the arrival stamps are placed in he new passport, and I can leave the country. Why is this different in the UK ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta love this forum for problem solving conundrums You got a problem....call the TVF/A- team http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MVonyVSQoM CCC I can't say if it is the honest truth or not, but the buzz was, one of the characters (Chopper Pilot) in the TV Series The A Team was modelled on Johnny Murdoch. John Murdoch was a former Air Cav Chopper Pilot in Vietnam and if I remember correctly a Khe Sanh Veteran. He was a very good mate of Rick Maynard the owner of the Grand Prix Bar in Patpong. He still used to wear his 'scarf' when making his 'Subs' in the Kitchen. A real character, fearless, mad as a meat axe, and a Bangkok/Patpong Identity. In latter years he joined Rick as a partner in the bar. (The only bloke I ever knew in Bangkok who wore an actual REAL Rolex Watch LOL) Would not have a clue whatever became of him.

Popular Post yourauntbob Posted September 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2013 Tell your wife how sexy you think her friend is and how you have been having very nice dreams about her arrival. Then start asking a bunch of questions like "does this mean she is now available?" Wait two days, your wife will come up with an excuse on why she can no longer come and your problem is solved. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
