TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around a user's upcoming visa process for their fiancé in Thailand and the related travel back to the UK. Comments reveal that while it's possible to leave Thailand, travelers must be aware of a mandatory 14-day quarantine upon arrival in the UK, along with the necessity to complete specific immigration forms before landing. The conversation also touches on flight availability and experiences with recent travel regulations, including the impact of quarantine measures on Thai nationals and perceptions of prenuptial agreements.

My emirate flight just cancelled anyone know which airlines nailed on
Oliver ********
There is still no real quarantine system in the UK, so she will just have to fill out a from promising to self isolate for 14 days, unless she needs to go out, and not to use public transport, unless she doesn't have a car.

Coming back to Thailand anytime in the next year or so wont be so easy.

There was a story recently, last few days, that the UK was quarantining Thais - kinda stupid. Calling the UK maybe a better a better option.

@Terary *********
All people entering the uk who are from countries not included in the amnesty such as Thailand need to undergo a 14 day self isolation at an address they are staying.

TBF like it or not, unless a country is on the approved list the everyone must quarantine, inc UK citizens.

Thailand figures based on info released by democrately elected junta, cannot say I would tryst them on anything.

Pretty sure there’s still no direct flights. I looked a couple of days ago and even BA was routing via HK and Cathay Pacific.

@Simon *********
, maybe only once a week atm.
Martin *********
I hope you have a prenuptial.
Simon **********
@Mar***
not worth much nowadays, most divorce lawyers get them dismissed very easily, arguing they were signed under duress.
Sammy *******
@Simon *********
not if done correctly.
Simon **********
@Sa***
I only know what a lawyer friend told me, and he said making sure the prenup was not dismissible was almost impossible. The simplest method to get it dismissed is to argue it was signed to stop the wedding being called off, therefore under duress.
Sammy *******
@Simon *********
those cases happen when the prenup is done in close date to the wedding, when time pressure can be used to make the duress claim. there needs to be ample time to consider and seek legal counsel. also, one has to make sure spouse has independent legal advice/attorney, not one connected in any way nor recommended by the other.
Simon **********
@Sa***
like I said I can only go by what my lawyer friend told me, I am not a lawyer.
Sammy *******
@Simon *********
exactly, but, as explained, there are ways to make pre-nups work, or otherwise, no one would ever use one. but many have used the duress claim to escape them as they did not follow the appropriate protocol.
Simon **********
@Sa***
from what little I know of lawyers and the law, there are always ways and means, and weeping ex wives seem to trump almost anything.
Sammy *******
@Simon *********
well, then, if that's your view, then i guess weeping and crying would allow any legal contract to be null and void, but, of course, that's simply not the case. Any legal contract. correctly executed, including a pre-nup, is enforceable. Find a better lawyer.
Simon **********
@Sa***
if the law was so simple and cut and dry we would have no lawyers just judges. I am assuming from your posts you’re either a lawyer, or you have never sat in a divorce court.

Just entered UK last week. The immigration form is scanned with your phone from the sign at the beginnning of the que. You then open the program and fill in the details. Not easy if you don't have a working sim as the free wifi cuts you off before you can complete the form unless you are really fast. You need handy, your ticket for flight and seat number, a contact number, an email address, the address where you will quarantine for the next 14 days. There was a queue of us incompetent old folk that needed help. After a long flight it a mind bender. There is help at immigration to fill in the information.
Jane ***********
I believe you can fill that out before you arrive.
Steve *********
Must complete arrival note b4 arrival at UK immigration too.

Have heard if you do it at immigration it take a very long time, just what you want after a long flight.
Grant ******
Pete Laird perfect thanks
Grant ******

Grant ******
Pete Laird yeh she in a couple of groups she must have missed this form. Uk Thai wives I think she on
Grant ******

@Steve ********
can you get one on line in thai language
Steve *********
@Mark ********
sorry I am unsure, I know it would make thing a lot easier.

However, i doubt you could, UK immigration not that helpful.

However, I believe these forms provided on the flights, same as us landing in Thailand.

Flight attendant should be able to help.

Sorry cannot help more.
Andrew *******
Just getting a flight out, if there’s anything available.
Jennifer ********
@Andrew ******
thai airways are flying now to London
Simon **********
@Jenn****
no they aren’t? They have just announced a few flights in August.
Steve *********
14 days quarantine on arrival. That's it.
Mark *********

@Steve ********
I thought 14 days quarantine in U.K. is stopped now
Alan ********
@Mark ********
Nope. Only stopped from “Travel Corridor” countries. Thailand isn’t on the list.
