The foreign secretary for the UK Cameron is supposed to have struck the same kind of deal I rang his office there not telling me anything, as to how soon these are free for thailanders to come to the UK, so I got them saying they're going to do it!!!? we want to know when they're going to do it

@Graham *****

ok thanks for clearing it up It just seems a bit of a catch 22 to get a long residential stay visa you have to have a bank account but to have a bank account you've got to be able to have a long visa stay. But I'll see about getting an agent to do the work when I'm ready

@Jos ********

ok thank you for that information

@Luc *******

ok thanks for the info

If I open a joint bank account with my wife for the business that she runs in Thailand and she has lived there all her life could it be used for my retiring visa or will it have to be just in my name?

Hi could you tell me if there's been delays my wife had confirmation that you had received the passport on the 22nd of Feb she'd already done her finger scan We're just looking for the time scale of when it would come back as I left her on the 16th of February after signing the married licence and not seen my wife since so desperate for any updates I'm hoping we get a reply before these dates? Thanks in advance

@Keith ******

I will do Keith thanks however I only took it for the holiday because I have a few holidays a year from last year I added going to Thailand, normally I go to visit my mum in Spain a couple of times a year

@Keith ******

it got renewed this month that was last year's cover had no problems thank God

@Keith ******

ok I'll double check on that but thanks for the heads up they told me it's a continuous cover for 365 days
