yes one of my wife's friends said that they have a saying no money no honey !

******The name****!!!

it seems that when they come a certain age if they have not married then its looked on as a bad thing, that no one would want them! But it'd be very very rare to find a lady who wants to marry just for the love and no financial game.... In fact I got married this year to my wife who knew after my accident my job was a semi retiring role that did not pay a lot she stopped showing love as in June this year with the stress and trying to get her here I had a severe heart attack, after laying money out two times already And she failed again I couldn't send her money as not making any just SSP she doesn't even put kisses on her messages anymore, offered me my freedom back as she put it (divorce ) our friends tell me they think she thought I was hiding the fact that I had no money and when she married me I was obliged to give it to her & the family when she realised I don't after sending her my company letter saying that I'm not getting a wage it all changed so if you are considering getting married, I hope you realise that she truly loves you, and proves it before you commit yourself, I am sure I read there is some nice thai ladies who do support their husbands on here but I think they are very rare to find

I used to do that zoom by PayPal but the cheapest way I do it I got one of those pay as you go Visa cards you can top it up the Monzo it's free which I gave to my wife so I can send the money free transfer I gave her a video recording giving permission to use it in case she ever got stopped No transfer fees no exchange rates works a lot easier

I'm not sure on that but I know for a fact the minimum was 14 days before they had a window slot for me I suppose it depends on the time of year if you just Google it you'll find a link to the government page

@Anru *******
yes you can do it online I made the mistake or should I say my wife made a mistake I thought she'd arranged it all we went to the embassy to discover she hadn't pre booked The appointment so it delayed it by 2 weeks for the next window slot I simply took my passport my divorce papers on the day even though they had you upload it in the online application you must I repeat you must take the originals they did not accept my copy I had to go back the next day which I found crazy when they already seen it once that's when I was in there doing the online application with the gentleman they need to see all your wives information as well to be honest it was a bit crazy we waited downstairs we literally went upstairs shown them my paperwork 10 minutes later I was asked to pay the fee came back down to give it to the agent who was translating it I didn't even see the certificate because when you doing the marriage licence I was told they keep it on the file so I left it paid £50 out for nothing lol

I did this in February this year you have to make sure you have three books an appointment at the British Embassy in Bangkok you will need your divorce papers to prove that you are eligible to marry once the embassy gave me the certificate that I paid I think about £50 for you then had to have it translated into Thai again I had to pay an agent to do this two days later we went to what I can only a call a government building type town hall waited a few hours with all the paperwork eventually they came out with a red book with the papers they had a sign and inside was the stamped married licence other in fact it was a duplicate copy on the other side of the book again in Thai? I have to pay to get one copied translated and again rubber stamped into an English version The sad side to this the government has done this U-turn It was 18k He had to be earning a year to bring your new wife to the UK when we were getting married The same week it was announced It was going up to 38,000 which I'm not on It has been reduced to 29k combined I'm not putting you off I'm still trying to find out what happens next year When you come to renew the visa if you can get it, to bring her to the UK The hidden costs to maintain and keep a here of course there's rumours now if you want to retire in Thailand although you would have been taxed on your pension in the UK they are talking of taxing you a second time in Thailand not been confirmed but more than likely people are saying make it almost impossible to retire without having a great pension otherwise you are losing a lot of money I wish you good luck with it 🙏🏽

Sorry to say mate Not quite true I am a UK citizen after failing last year to get my girlfriend to come to the UK even though we were passing most of the stuff her agent had suggested to stronger the case by getting married It was a big ask considering I only spent 2 weeks with her And although we've been speaking everyday It was a big ask January the 29th I flow back over we had the blessings from the 8 monks The paperwork I had to prove I was a eligible bachelor thing get it translated It then cost me another $600 to purchase a delayed flight 3 days later because you have to give 14 days notice But after 4

hours in what I call there town hall we will giving a red book with the licencing although they give it in two sets both were all in Thai And it's gonna cost me again to get it translated into English But we sent it in and made no difference she still got denied on grounds that it will wrong did not read the case notes we sent in Ashley has a younger brother special needs to look after they said she had no dependence to come back for type of thing So think hard mate The only thing that come out of it was she could take my name So makes no difference I am see my wife since February with all the stress I end up having a heart attack because of the layout of money repaying for things make sure that you love her she loves you to go through with it wish you all the luck

@Stuart ***********
you are very lucky that my friend I am on other sites for advice and somebody on there has children in the UK She's flew back to a funeral And then was denied reentry she was trying to fight to get back with the husband and the kids in the UK And they wonder why all these riots are starting to kick off???

@Johnny *****
hi Johnny yes I've already done that I emailed the new MP and phone called didn't get a reply back And because I've got a severely damaged heart I'm not sure if I'm going to recover fully as Friday I was told after the last echograph they want to double the medication definitely not looking like a bright future for me having a wife but not being able to be with her she was meant to come back with me when we were getting married in February and that's when the government slapped that new from 18k to 38k earnings so she went for the visiting visa and was denied for not having a good enough reason to return to Thailand and said that she would over stay here welcome Which is stupid when she would have been traceable knowing they've taken some much information off me my wages and details my workplace my address my passport how the hell could she do a runner The only way is to make a big scene but then to do that you then probably would not be able to get into the country as they think you are often ill mental health status but I wish you good luck It wasn't third time lucky for me

@Ben **************
I had the same thing with my wife after they rejected her the second time saying she had nothing to return for I went out in April again after being there in February getting married and set up a little business a coffee shop and deposited some money for product so on and yes same thing Although she did declare it her bank statements they denied her because she had no traceable evidence for the money ? They are just finding stupid excuses to take the fee and not give even saying she had no dependence to return for and yet having no parent she looks after her young brother with special needs you can't even appeal and if you complain you can't get anywhere because I complain from the UK the UK government embassy said it's an overseas reference number they can't deal with it they overseas when I complain to that embassy said can't deal with it because the contact details is in the UK catch 22 and now I'm told these people who probably have paid a lot less than what I've laid out Not all I've ever got a British citizenship passport and put up in a hotel they've been giving the rights to bring their families over this country is a joke like you say I keep looking for the ancestor to guy Fawkes to see if he has the spirit of his great-great-grandfather that's what we need in this country lol 🤣
