Ralph *******

They don’t take the old one away. They stamp it and cut off the corner then return it to you.

What is the process for my Thai girlfriend to obtain a visa to visit England?

Ralph *******

You can do it yourself. The most important thing is to establish that she has a good reason to return to Thailand. This can be children, parents, a job; any commitment that would make her return. I can’t overstate this - probably the most common cause for the application to be rejected.

What is the best eSIM option for a 5-week stay in Thailand?

Ralph *******

I’m using Maya eSim at the moment. It seems to be fine. I only got a 5GB package as I have Wi-Fi most times.

For 30 days it was about £7.

Can I enter Thailand on a one-way flight ticket and book a return flight later?

Ralph *******

Technically you are supposed to have an onward ticket within the 60 days. Immigration rarely check, but if course they are at liberty to do so.

More frequently, your airline asks for proof. 3 out of my last 4 trips I had to show an exit ticket. So, basically it’s a gamble.
