You must think I'm some kind of newbie at this.
Her Aussie passport also needs renewing before June and I haven't got the time now because I go offshore next week. Her Thai passport also needs renewing before June and that needs doing before I could start the tortuous process of organising a visa for her to visit the UK. My wife can organise the passport renewal at Central Plaza in Korat but then I would have to start the visa process when I return from Norway.
I think I'll have to just keep my fingers crossed that the UK Passport people get their act together.
