It's like having a ankle monitor on, when they started it again

I refused to take a holiday in Thailand

@Ludwig **********

yes I have found out today I go to immigration to move the retirement visa from my old passport to my new passport

I had all the paperwork to complete the process

But then they asked me for my bank book I was not expecting this so I had a row with the officer, about it and she got her boss involved and I had to go down to the bank to get the statement for 6 months

I was lucky that the bank helped me as I didn't have my bank book with me

@Henry ********

yes that's right But it's to prove that you are not married to someone else nothing to do with the thai lady

Maybe I am wrong but I don't see any problem trying to find out

@Henry ********

you just go to the registration office and get married take a couple of people as witnesses and you will have a thai marriage certificate as proof for the immigration.

You are not asking for certificate for a UK marriage certificate or anything else

It's not rocket science

@Henry ********

yes I understand that but in the uk

So all they need to do is go the local registration office and get the thai married certificate and the thai immigration will be happy

It's to make life easier

It will cost them about 500thb

Why don't you just get married in Thailand as its going to save you a lot of trouble

And money

@Umami ********

yep I know what you are saying

It will depend on the official

Don't forget to have the bank statement stamped by the bank or you will be going back to the bank

@Umami ********

yep that's about right

But you don't need a letter from the embassy if you have the 0 in the bank account

Anyway most of the embassy's will not give you any letter now

If you have left your wife without a good reason then you will have to pay her some money to keep her happy

If over 5 years that you have left then you can get a divorce without any problems

This is unless you have already done a deal with the thai wife

Did you leave her is the first question and how long ago did you leave
