@Cris *****

Is it really complicated??

@Tom *******

Thats one reason I want out!! but not the only reason of course. Been planning it for 3 - 4 years now. BTW, I used an agent in London who was highly recommended to me and I can only say he was indeed very very good. For me, I just didn;t want to mess around with the EVisa as I am not the best tech person around!! My company wants me to work P/T in Thailand but with tax and permits etc, I can't take that risk. And will be taking 25% lump sum before Lie-bour get hold of it....

@Tom *******

are you obtaining a Type O then returning before 90 days? Im just waiting for mine to be issued from london as I have been told my application has been approved without further questions or documents needed. Expecting it anytime as it has been a week and a half. Unlike you, i am retiring so im leaving UK 7th December

@Greg **********

Is the bank 'Letter of Guarantee' required to come from the branch where you opened the account?

@Brandon ***********

I see...sensed it was something like that!

@Grace ***********

What is a 'renewal service' 12 month extension based on marriage? or specific to retirement only?

@Robert *********

just have to hope now im doing the right thing.

@Will ***********

hi Will, i’m actually doing the Non O using an agent. Not expensive and very highly recommended.

He is based in London so apologies if I made it sound I was physically going into the embassy!!

Althought the truth is actally I want to kneel in front of the door and beg saying, please, I will do anything, just get me out of the UK ASAP😂

We don;t have a Certificate of Residence and I am really concerned that I have to have the 400k in the bank ASAP. The agent said it is no problem as they do not need it. As we are staying in a hotel and no lease agreement anywhere, other than a Homestay, I can't take the risk of delaying the 2 month maturing period and the threat of overstaying the 90 day Non O. Just panicky but with all the news on banks lately, I have to go for the least risk option. Yep, I'm F. desperate to get out the UK so I don't want to be booking a return flight home. EVER.

@Colin *********

Are you on a 12 months marriage visa Colin? Just wondered whether you had a rented property or hotel / homestay whilst bulding. We are still on the lookout for land so best will in the world, we will be in temporary accommodation for at least 6 months. Which I will have to include as part of the 12 moth mariage extension.
