Talk to the Plants and Herbs people on Whats-App. They are very responsive and will tell you where recent applicants have been successful. As for shorter courses there are currently no issues doing those and re-entering without further booked courses.

I was surprised they did not have the visa application history previously.

Interesting about not applying immediately. There have been a few questions about this recently.

This is a difficult one. Was it the gym documentation the root cause or your finances or other issue? If the fault on your end the gym has no reason to refund.

Currently looking like Vietnam or Indonesia. I would go Vietnam as I like it there. USA passport holders need a visa in advance though

Yes.

Yes, if you leave on the "O" and do not have a re-entry permit it is basically cancelled. If you are applying for a DTV though I would point this out in a cover letter. The "Local Hire" initially reviewing your application at the Embassy you apply to will not likely know the nuances of all Thai visa types. PS: Why change now though? Can always get DTV towards end of "O"

Anonymous participant 979 I was thinking exactly the same.

I was in King's Cross quite a bit a couple of years ago. The new buildings and investment around there fantastic. However look at my old sector Life Sciences. Billions pulled out in last week from AZ and MSD. These were 1000's of high quality jobs toether with the clusters thst build up around these centres. 2017 to 2023 FDI down 58% in the sector. Life Science ie Pharma and Biotech were once of the crown jewels of the UK economy. A certain vote in 2016 has fecked this. I still talk regularly to quite senior people in the industry. They are not seeing sunlit uplands and prancing Unicorns for the industry in the UK. Pals I do know who I worked with in Singapore and the region have bought very nice houses in North London. Access to university and hospitals in the centre plus out to the Silicon Glen's where their HQs are.
