What should I do after my partner's UK visa application was denied due to financial reasons?

@John *******

I know but it's not going to help the application , thats all I'm saying. ie you need something much much stronger as they know the maternal instinct in Thailand is not too strong

They will need to see that you have enough money to cover any costs in England for her and she has enough money for the holiday

@Michael *********

Again, not a single thai person, agent or otherwise, will have 'connections' in the british embassy. If you believe that the agent is taking you for a ride.

@Jeff ******

they do, I know dozen of folks who had their visa denied but once they pay $$$ to an agency got their visa approved in a blink of an eye, call that luck then ;)

@Michael *********

because they’ve correctly assembled the application or spotted errors, it is absolutely nothing to do with ‘connections’

@Dave ******

I would still try for an appeal first they can only say no

@Bob *********

This is not a fact

That data is not public

@Duncanc *********

you obviously tried to look

@Bob *********

Or maybe I just worked there?

😵‍💫

@Duncanc *********

maybe not I’m not just talking about the UK,US,Australia all proper western countries and like I said I don’t believe you even have a work permit I’ve lived here a long time and only know one person that got approved on the first try a doctor a very rich one

@Bob *********

Are you high?

You sound pretty high 🙄

@Duncanc *********

where do you claim you work ??

@Bob *********

it’s the weekend Genius … they gave me the day off 🥰

@Duncanc *********

doesn’t matter what day it is where do you work

@Bob ******************

It was 30K THB plus some courier fees. When the docs are prepared you go down to the Trendy Bldg to sign the docs and do an eye scan. There was an additional fee of around 800 THB payable to the officials at the Trendy Building.

@Mark ****

She might need some language lessons first 5555

@Nick ***********

Don't make statements from a position of stupidity. Not a single person who arrives in a dinghy is 'an illegal' - they have to be processed for that to be determined. Given the UK government have blocked off all legal routes and cannot find anyone to process them, you're pissing in the wind hoping your tag will stick. Want to go on....?

@Jeff ******

. Anyone who enters a country illegally is an illegal immigrant. FACT

@Steven ********

Bollocks is it, until they're been processed how do you know they're illegal? Getting in a dinghy and sailing somewhere isn't illegal.

@Steven ********

you’re clearly struggling with terminology so I’ll leave you to it.

@Jeff ******

you are a troll. No genuine profile. I will treat you with the contempt you deserve. Don't come back to me as I will block your sad, ill informed and anti British comments.

@Nick ***********

isn't it more anti British to think 45,000 foreigners can take over Britain than it is to say they can't??

@Iain ********

sorry, I dont follow your logic and your numbers are wrong.

@Nick ***********

what logic can't you follow?

None of the numbers are mine.

Which number do you think is wrong? I'll tell you the source.

@Iain ********

you only gave one number in your comment so work it out.

@Nick ***********

I gave 45,000 as the UK Government's figure for the number of irregular immigrants arriving by small boat which was 44,460 last year. Apologies, I rounded up to 45,000 when I should have rounded down to 44,000 which is closer.

Thanks for pointing out that error of 1,000 in rounding.

%20were%2044%2C460%20people%20detected,the%20same%20period%20of%2.

@Iain ********

the real figure is 2.5 million in two years. You have been fooled but obviously you are someone for whom that is not difficult. There has been more than half your number in 2024 alone already.

@Nick ***********

you are making up numbers.

@Iain ********

no. The UK govt via the BBC make up the numbers. Not that I give a toss as I left years ago. Good luck.

@Nick ***********

the UK Government figure for irregular Arrivals is 44, 460 last year. BBC not involved in running their website. Your number was made up by you.

@Iain ********

2.5 million foreigners have entered the country in the last two years. Whether they were irregular or not is besides the point. Just Iver a million have left because they are sick to death of the way they are treated. Uncontrolled immigration has been disastrous for the British people and the economy. Deny it if you like it will not worry me in the least. Just keep your head buried deep in the sand if that is your way of coping with it. Finally, the Government are going to be the last to tell you the truth followed closely by the BBC.

@Nick ***********

44,460 was last year's uncontrolled migration. All other people enter the country with permission from the government and in line with government controls. That's controlled migration.

@Iain ********

so you admit I'm right! Took a while.

@Nick ***********

no. It's very antiBritish to think 44,460 irregular immigrants are taking over the UK

Iain MacCall you sound like a stuck record. You have no profile. You talk rubbish. I have no more to say to you sad troll.

@Steven ********

Source?

@Jeff ******

in 2022 alone. 2023 and 2024 approx the same.

@John *******

they already are and it’s a lot more difficult to get a uk one than it is thai, stop talking nonsense!

@Jeff ******

What you waffling on about?

@Jeff ******

you dont get into Thailand without a passport and money to support yourself and in the case of a tourist a plane ticket out as well.

@Wayne ******

because they’re not allowed to work, so no job, no money. Tough to work out eh?

@Steven ********

no/onesillegal until they’ve been processed as such else all people eventually granted asylum would never have got their chance.

@Steven ********

Thailand isn't a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention. UK is. See the difference?

@Tim ********

what has Thailand got to do with what is happening in the UK?

@Nigel *********

France is not safe for most refugees, Nigel. Do some basic research on attacks against refugees in countries you would feel safe in. That's called white privilege, to feel safe in France, Belgium, Italy, Greece etc

@Tim ********

they’re want to go to the uk is based on economics and the good will of its citizens. They should be reporter better still turned around, the uk can’t sustain this level of immigration and it’s nothing to do with your dreamt up white privileged theory

@Nigel *********

You're proving again it is exactly about your white privilege, Nigel. Those who have fled terror are refugees and entitled to sanctuary where they apply for it. Those who have not will be returned. Government determines spending. This one has managed to run up a record debts while slashing public spending and persuading idiots like you it's the fault of refugees. But the truth is you just don't like foreigners, otherwise you'd accept these simple facts instead of believing trash fascist newspapers

@Tim ********

yes your right - I don’t like foreigners who try to change the British way of life into the one they came from such as an Islamic way. Frankly I don’t care where or what circumstances they come from they are illegal as they had the opportunity to settle in a safe haven - France. The UK can’t sustain this and why should our tax payers pay to keep them when we have our own sleeping on the streets and military personnel who have served this country left wanting for support. Send them back…

@Tim ********

do some research on the knife crime in London. The UK is no longer safe either.

@Nick ***********

I'd that a racist trope I hear?

@Tim ********

No.

@Kerry **********

as is the UK…

@Nick ***********

no they don’t, crossing a channel on a boat has never been an offence.

@Jeff ******

I've crossed the channel many times but I had a passport and a ticket. I didn't throw my passport away before I climbed into the dinghy.

@Jeff ******

no they dont what? Explain yourself please.

@Nick ***********

I kniow xenophobes aren't the brightest but just follow the thread, it's all there

@Nick ***********

This is a lie propagated by media and RW politics. UN convention (which UK signed) acknowledges they can arrive by any means, via any route, and apply for asylum when in a country they feel safe. Refugees get beaten by police (or racist groups aided by police) in Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Belgium. They are forced into slavery in Libya. Find the facts and stop spouting lazy racist tropes

@Tony ********

clearly they are! You’ll know being an immigration expert that the UK govt shut down all the LEGAL routes right? So that leaves what?

@Jeff ******

it leaves a route for young Romanians without families to join their local gangs in the UK. If they were so desperate to get away from some kind of threat why are so many of these immigrants who thought that the streets would be paved with gold are now wanting to go back home?

@Tony ********

going to get a lot more if that clown starmer gets in

The boats should get towed back into French waters and sunk

Don’t care what the snowflakes thinks but we don’t want them here

@David ********

says an immigrant!

@Tony ********

Tony you're ignorant of the facts. Find better news media than Mail, Sun, Telegraph, Express. All run by non-dom foreigners who don't pay tax in the UK.

@Tim ********

what the heck are you talking about? 😄

@Tony ********

Your maths? How many asylum seekers are in the UK? 1.2m UK population increase in last 3 years? Quote source before making shit up. UK born citizens have a +ve birth rate. What are you going to do about that? And why are you in Thailand playing Empire Builder when you show obvious signs of racist ignorance like these?

@Tim ********

I'm not a racist. Why would you think that? Can you say something about the Romanian crime gangs which seem to be bolstering their numbers with Romanians who have no reason to seek asylum from what is happening in Romania? The typical profile of genuine refugees includes families. Why are they mostly absent in the migration across the channel to the UK. What I really resent is you implying that I'm a racist. That's just lazy nonsense.

@Tony ********

Tony, the lazy nonsense is only reading one source. Men and women/children leave their home countries mostly as families. Can you guess what happens to the women and children along the way? It is researchedand published. Don't be lazy. You are happy to accept racist tropes from news media owned by non-dom non-tax payers, who lie to get lazy idiots to support a corrupt racist government that allows them those tax breaks and media power. I'm happy to say your decisions, behaviour and comments reflect your racism, even if it is largely borne of ignorance from a failure to widen your source material. There is some truth in your view of Romanian economic migrants. But it's not true even of all Romanians, many of whom are persecuted in their own country. And it's still fundamentally racist to reject someone on the grounds of their nationality, race, faith etc etc with no investigation into their personal allowances circumstances and reasons for fleeing.

@Tim ********

now you are just being naive together with your knee-jerk reaction of using the racism card which seems to be applied to everything as far as the woke left are concerned. Furthermore you have absolutely no idea what my sources are. I don't take much notice of assumptions and you are making many.

@Tony ********

OK you used the "woke" card, telling me all I need to know about you

Woke = believing in the right of all people to live a good life with fairness and respect.

@Tim ********

woke (as it applies now for the intolerant liberal left)

Woke = cancel culture, censorship, control of the population, inclusiveness which actually means you are included unless you disagree with me for which you will be excluded, the constant need to be offended, intolerance of free speech, etc etc.

That is the reality of what wokeness means today. In former times it would have meant equality within the context of social democratic ideology. Have you not been observing what has been going on in the last few years? And I didn't get that from The Daily Mail 😄

@Tony ********

the left is ‘intolerant’? Jesus I’ve heard it all now. So whats your definition of the right? Such as Braverman, Gullis and Anderson ? Can’t wait to hear this

@Tony ********

just send them to Rogers place

@Tony ********

if they aren't entitled to asylum it won't be granted.

@Lynnette ******

they don't know most of them are in the country and those they do it takes years to process their applications. Meanwhile communities are suffering massive disruption to their normal lives by hordes of people who shouldn't be in the country take up every possible form of habitation at tax payers expense. Have you read about the illegals who have committed a serious crime including the murder of an old man? A minority I agree but they should never have been allowed into the UK.

@Lynnette ******

yes that's true, but they can't process the applications faster than they arrive which is why the UK population has increased by 1.2 million the last 3 years.

@Tony ********

and where did you make up those figures?

@Tony ********

45,000 pa come by small boat. Over the past 3 years that totals 135,000 some of whom have died, left (eg to RoI), deported or granted asylum. The other 1.1 million increase in UK population has arrived by regular means in line with government policies and laws.

@Iain ********

that's 45,000 too many. The UK is already an overcrowded country and it's putting a strain on resources.

/01/asylum-seeker-hotel-costs-in-context

@Tony ********

45,009 is a lot less than 1.2 million. Have you looked at the 2024 budget?

It assumes that we have net inward migration of 300,000 wage earners pa for the next 5 years and relies on income tax, NI and VAT receipts from their economic activity to pay for our services without excessive government borrowing.

@Tony ********

45,000 is 0.03% of the population, how stupid do you feel now? Presumably you're ok with the doctors, nurses, train drivers, engineers etc etc that come over to save your skin, or do you refuse to be treated by someone who doesn't look like you? Principles and all that. Just think every time you go to a thai hospital and get treated, a thai has to wait behind you, do you ever see them belly aching how unfair the world is or is it just a western disease?

@Jeff ******

you have a point. The last time I went to see my doctor I asked why he was wet and he told me he had just got out of a dinghy in a very rough sea. And the last time I went to a Thai clinic there were 30 Thais in front of me. How stupid do you feel now?

@Tony ********

Sorry if I knew I was arguing with a retard I would have dumbed it down! So lets try and simplify it a bit for you, how do you know the attributes(or not) of anyone coming over? You know them? You've already decided that as they're looking worse for wear (after crossing the channel) they're a waste of space and not worthy of being treated as human beings right? Does your hatred extend to abuse/rape/torture victims too? Did you leap around the room in joy when the little boy was washed up on the beach last year? Or when the seven year old girl drowned a few months ago? Were they chancers after something for free? In your hatred of them, actually allowing them to be processed and sorting out the genuine from the chancers isn't good enough for you is it. They're not white so they've all got to go without a hearing even if it smashes through every human rights law the UK signed up to. Just be honest, you're a paid up racist aren't you. You can also confirm that for every appointment you've ever had there has never been a thai waiting behind you? Because if there was, you're just another entitled hypocrite.

@Tony ********

so employ more people, tough one eh?

@Tony ********

More ignorance. Crap at maths too

@Tony ********

no thanks

@Neil ********

Yeah. Those forward tickets, for a few Euro they give you a ticket which remains valid for a few days.
