I didn't say bad, I said poor. I love food from around the world, i am not choosy, but the Philippines (similar to the uk) has poor food. Having said that about the UK, the native dishes are not to my taste, but there are plenty of good restaurants everywhere.

I do wonder why you and your husband come to Thailand instead of the Philippines if that is your original home?

@Julius ********

did you pay an agent for the visa that was invalidated?

@Steve ******

no decent food, no infrastructure.

I don't think anybody is intending to insult the Philippines, but the food is very poor there compared to somewhere like Thailand. I travelled around many places for a couple of months and really struggled to find anything to eat, especially healthy dishes. People there seem to love Jollibee and it's just terrible processed food with lots of added salt and sugar 🤮. It is true there are the American chains there, but only in cities and who wants to eat that all the time anyway. Even getting a decent coffee is a challenge as most places automatically add sugar and few have real milk. Here in Thailand on virtually every street corner there is someone cooking a delicious meal for a few Baht.

Stay in your own country and try to improve it for the better of everyone. Your skills and experience are extremely unlikely to make you eligible to a long term visa in Thailand.

they definitely need to make an appointment at BangRak and they will check their documents when making the appointment.

Look on the bright side, at least she got her passport back.

Baffles me why people pay someone in Thailand to get a UK visa, the agent can't bribe anybody and the applicant has to provide all of the evidence and attend VFS. I guess it's up to the individual if they want to throw money away and risk being scammed.

I think you can only do it up to the due date online, but i never tried doing it during the 7 days after, so I have no experience.

I believe the correct answer if you ask immigration is yes, but like most people I just have pictures of them on my phone.

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

yes it takes a few days to do everything.
