I've booked SGN-BKK with Thái Viết Air. On the approved semi-comercial list, Flight no VZ3971 every Friday. Web is skyfun.Vietnet. Price was just short of 14k Thb so not cheap but it's like 1.5 direct flight as opposed to the long drag through Singapore, which I didook at. Figured given the whole cost of getting back and hopefully there is less likelyhood of something going wrong it was worth it. Fingers crossed โชคดี

Standard tourist visa as mentioned in my post 👍

Hi James I have a long-term girlfriend here and yes plan to marry in the future. I don't work here illegally either physically or on line, I do attend class as per my visa requirements and I support myself from personal UK investments. The interest in applying for a second year H2H is it grants me more time to make longer term financial plans here including not taking a further UK tax hit by moving more money here immediately
