How many wives have you taken back?

WTF has that got to do with anything? All the hoop jumping is well and truly behind us now.

Nor has anyone else!

Anyways, this thread is moving too quick for me, everytime I post a reply, another 3/4 are added in-between.

Theres nothing to stop you getting the information you need straight from the horses mouth by telephoning the U.K. Visa Section of the British Embassy here :

Visas for the UK

or, much as I am loath to refer you to TV, the following thread at over 90 pages covering the settlement visa application has more information than you can shake a stick at. If you can't find an answer here then post a question....it will be answered by someone in your situation.:

Uk Settlement - Thailand Forum

If you phone the number in the first link you do not need to give your name or can give a false one as you are only enquiring not applying.

Good luck with it and don't let the bastards grind you down.

People like to over complicate the whole process and worry too much, first off the form is pretty straight forward, just make sure you can fill the criteria needed as i said be creative but believable so as not to raise any suspicion as in you are going to a job earning a million quid a year like smeg, and you have no worries.

but if he claims, she would be included and make the payout larger

so they won't want to let her in for that reason

Not correct, i was claiming Job Seekers allowance earlier this year and even though been married for 7 years, cause my wife had no recourse to public funds, i was only paid as a single man.

^What's the job situation like over there now, BB?

Can copies of the Land Reg be accepted?

I don't know why I am so worried some of the horrible Englishmen with skanky bitches you see at the Brit Emb should calm my nerves.

Deeds and "land reg" documents are very precious are photocopies ok?

Yes, but you can print them off the internet for 4 pounds. The Land Registry is on-line and as they're public docs, its not a problem. Link here:

You will need to show a secure tenancy agreement if the house is not in your name.
It doesn't matter that the home owner are your parents or not.

talk to the consulate if you have any problems

I'm stating the obvious but go straight to the near last pages, some very valuable info and not the backslapping at the start of the thread.

I'm submitting my application first week of Janauary - does anyone now if this is a quiet period? As in not to many student application and others etc.

And a question. I need to subject a certified copy of my passport, is it OK to knock on my local police officers door to sign rather than pay a solicitor? If, so how does the Police officer go about it?

And another,

My son is dual national with an UK passport currently in Thailand with his mother. I shouldn't have to prove no recourse to public funds for him or even put him on dependents travelling with my thai wife on the visa application form should I? He could be simply travelling with me. Of course all our proof of relationship evidence such as photos include him with us. I have accomodation for him and funds. How do I go about this?

It's only the wife applying for the visa, so surely I don't include him on the forms. I only have to prove there is enough accomodation for the wife around My son and I at home

god bless mummys, cheeky fuck

I was living with the parents when i did it 3 years ago, Just got a copy of the tenancy agreement (i know we are scum) plus i typed up a letter for the parents to sign agreeing to help to support her as well, you don't need a photo as it states in the agreement how many room are in the house.

I did do a folder up with all the usual stuff, bank statements, letter from employer, TB check, marriage cert and so on,and on. She got the visa in one and half weeks with no interview, even with the coup going on.

I am glad i don't have to go back to the British embassy again, those Thai guards.

You should have no problem accept for the £700 visa fee. Plus another for PR then another for citizenship, and then there is that life in the uk test that even i failed.

hope you get it without the interview.

Is it yourself applying (UK citizen) or your partner?
