After Oslo, Helsinki Kills Double & Triple TR Visas

[Liquorice]

Not really. A tourist is a tourist and has booked his ticket with return flights, has a valid medical insurance (Travel Insurance). A student that is going to study in the UK has also paid in advance for housing, the school including tuition fees, a valid medical insurance.

Even during my time in Thailand (None-O-M) due to my 3y old Thai boy, I have a valid medical insurance, a liability insurance and on top a Travel Insurance and it costs me 400 Euros monthly just to be on the save side.

I was referring of the 50000 Thai living and working in the UK, these are 72% women working in bars, restaurants, massage parlors and sex industry. How did they get there? They have zero qualification and certainly did not entered UK with a proper valid working visa but certainly with a TOURIST or student visa.

If they entered on a toursit visa or student visa, and overstayed and are working illegally they will not get recourse to public funds or benefits...

in the case of students under tier 4 studies, they can legally work upto 10 hours a week during the term, and during term holidays 20 hours a week, but they still have no recourse to public funds or services

So give it a rest will you...the fact is persons on a toursit visa to the UK are not entitled to any public funded services or benefits as you said originally

Don"t be silly: you know very well they later on get proper paperwork, because Europe is so generous with migrants.

The things is, it's never reciprocated when Europeans go abroad

Your off topic and talking absolute nonsense.

There are 5 year and 10 year routes to obtaining permanent residency in the UK.

They have no recourse to public funds even though many have the right to work and pay taxes.

Wives are supported by there husband as sponsors, that's the condition.

Only after a certain period of time, working and paying taxes can they even claim job seekers allowance.

They are not even entitled to child benefits.

By the time they have ILR and may be entitled to some small benefit they have contributed thousands into the system.

Yes you could fly back to get continuing METV's but don't be surprised or annoyed when you have to prove work in your own country, some consulates and embassy conditions appear to be asking for it, or prove you're not working in Thailand

Or just get a single entry tourist visa from your own country and have a trip every 2 or 3 months for a week in a neigbouring Southeastern Asian country. Then come back into Thailand on new single entry tourist visa or a 30 day visa exempt, repeat cycle until you are bored and go home for the summer! No need to prove finances as you are touring around the region.

Well, since they seem to be frowning on multiple in and out Visa exempt border runs, I would not be surprised if they also crack down on multiple Tourist Visas. In so many cases the people really are not Tourists. OK, given that is true, what other if any provisions will be made? Most of you know of the current options, business, marriage, retired, the Elite, etc.. I don't know if limiting use of Tourist Visas would be good or bad. It obviously would cramp a lot of people's styles.
