citizenship is very... Very hard to get and IMHO a bad idea...

@Gena *****

no... Like I said... You maybe get divorced next year, so every year you have prove your together legitimately... This could involve multiple visits, photographs of your clothes in the wardrobe etc...

Like multiple people have said now, retirement is the way to go if you can. I've been married for 19 years and took the advice 7 years ago... Every the extension is easy..

@Gena *****

retirement is easy, the initial application can be 'problematic' depending on the immigration and the official... An agent could smooth it along.

It's not a renewal it an extension you get every year.

@Gena *****

married for 15 and could be divorced next year... The same hassle... Year in.. Year out.

@Gena *****

retirement is the way to go if you have the 800k to put in a bank or the equivalent income.... Marriage is big hassle, but only 400k required in the bank.

Who's the visa for? Your thai, your child is thai.. So must be husband? So married visa or if he's 50 retirement which is far easier...

@Martin ****

until recently it was estimated 12-16 weeks... It was a surprise he got it back so quick, but with all the disputes in uk I suppose it's a bit of a lottery now?

@Richard *******

a friend used them recently, it took about 6 or 7 weeks... To be fair the passport office is responsible for the time element.... He recommends to everyone.

@Martin ****

the actual passport costs 3500...2 trips Bangkok... Minimum 3000? That's 7500....2500 for drop off pick up service? Up to you..... You run around getting there twice! And the embassy forms etc... Up to you. Personally I think its not bad... And at the end of the day the original post was an agent and cost... That's what I've given.

Excellent service for these guys... 10k all in.
