£1900 for spouse visa + £3600 for NHS surcharge , A1 test , tb test need to be done 1st before submitting application these vary in price depending where you book the appointments , biometrics are included in the visa fees but some places also charge for this , we submitted my wife’s in January & got her passport back with travel visa at the end of march ,it should only be a 3 month turnaround.

If visa unsuccessful you don’t get any of the fees back and when you go to apply again you have to re pay everything

Sanctuary of truth is a great day out , craftsmanship is unbelievable , change from the norm for a 1st date , then go to cafe Des Amis for dinner

My wife is Chinese Thai , from southern Thailand , paid a dowry but was given back to us at the end of the night , all money in envelopes from guests too , I wasn’t expecting the dowry back & gave my in-laws 2ooK back as a thank you , my wife has a degree from university which she got a government loan to put herself through Uni , we don’t give her parents money but between her & her 2 sisters we pay the household bills.

You have to employ Thai nationals in you’re business , you can’t bring in you’re own staff

@James ********

he must have been to soi 6 , antibiotics should clear whatever is wrong though 😂😂😂

18.5 k minimum income just now but rising to 38K at some point come spring , also now you have to pay international health surcharge when getting spouse visa so that’s another 2K on top of visa fee 🙄 (get to to Calais and onto a boat , she’ll get a nice house & benefits without jumping through hoops & spending a fortune if only we could eh )

Cheapest option just go back to the airport and possibly get a 500tb fine for the 1 day !

Brian Ramsden Issan lawyers for you , all English speaking , paying for an unfinished house in Thailand though , there may be trouble ahead , is the builder a relative of the wife?
