Now next summer I want to go back to the UK for a couple of weeks, my son I want to stay longer to improve his English, obviously the Brit embassy wants to see some money so the nasty little brown buggers go home, so I sent this email.
Ok from there email land aint going to do it.Hi, I am a British passport holder, my son who is now 18 years old is a Thai passport holder and doesn't have UK citizenship xxxxxxxxxxx, anyway come summer, June to August I will be visiting the UK for 2 weeks over that period, I would also like to take my son but want him to stay for 4 to 6 weeks to improve his English, he will be staying with my mother, obviously at 18 he has no proof of money or anything, at present he is in college and will probably after finishing college spend the next few years in university, so, on applying for his visa he needs an income source or a reason to come back to Thailand, I have a couple of plots of land in Thailand worth a few million baht, would putting those in his name sort out this problem? Or setting up a company and paying him a salary be better? If the salary is better how much should I pay him?
Pretty much a generic email, but how much is enough funds?Required documentation regarding financial evidence for social visit visa would include personal bank statements and saving books (containing details for the last six months), or any proof of a savings history.
There is no set amount of funds the Embassy requires. However, the financial evidence you provide should illustrate adequate funds to cover the return flight and accommodation and reasonable expenses, such as sightseeing costs, travel, transport etc for the applicant for the period he/she wishes to remain in the United Kingdom.
My second reply from them.
So now I am at the stage where I want to know how much will keep them happy, it really don't make much difference as we all have access to a main account in my girlfriends name, but they don't accept that, so all I want to know is how much money they want me to run thru the account...Dear, Sir/Madam
Thank you for contacting the UK Border Agency Visa Information Service in Bangkok.
