I just flew to Thailand on Monday Direct from London with Thai Airways, £670 return including checked luggage and preferred seats. Best way to book is to follow the airline when they are running a promotion. At the moment Qatar airlines are running a promotion.
You have nothing to worry about, you are a bread and butter tourist, I visit four times a year two weeks at a time, stay at local hotels, use their national airline, soon they will put out a red carpet for people like you and me. It's people who try and abuse the system who has problems with immigration.
Why, l visit four times a year on visa exempt two weeks at a time never being asked a question, now l want to stay around six weeks at a time, my concern is l don’t want to carry five six thousand pounds in cash, l want to be able transfer money into bank account and withdraw as l need it.
at the moment l visit Thailand four times a year two weeks at a time, l want to stay around six weeks at a time few times a year but it’s hard without a bank account and hardly anyone accepts cards.
Retirement 90 days visa is totally different from tourist visa, my concern is after obtaining 90 days none O retirement visa will they force me to apply for a year extension
North West France then boat to England, you will get free hotel, free food free health service and they will throw in a mobile phone as well incase you want to call home.
I was there February, June and coming again September, only two weeks at a time, never been asked any question by immigration. If you are a genuine tourist you have no problem.
