@Anthony *******

thanks for the advice yes the reason it we failed I was cautious so I sent them a bank account thinking it was to prove that I was real for her, but if I was being scammed there was just a thousand in there plus as she works online, and I just moved into a property address details didn't match up

@Judy ******

we got married in Thailand on the second hence the flights for me and my parents the wedding cost the monks the photographer the marriage license and the British Embassy to prove I was eligible to marry? I was told I don't need to show when speaking to the embassy earning over eighteen and a half thousand which I clearly do been in the job over two years I'm just been told I'm going to be getting a 3% pay rise as I do a brilliant job I believe you're referring to this new restriction on the 4th of march where it going up to 38,000 but I was assuming that was if you wanted the permanently bring a partner in to the UK full-time as someone pointed out I don't have the funds to retire out there full-time so my option as I'm 56 looking at one of those retiring visas and trying to do six months UK 6 month Thailand maybe I actually secured a property bigger than than the last place for her to come last year as I said things didn't go to plan

@Neil *******

thank you Neil the reply, yes originally I was being cautious I just sent them a bank statement with not a lot in in case they try to rip me off, since then as I said we've spoken every day three times a day and then I went out as she told me that this agent said it would strengthen it if we were married I thought of it helped strengthen the case then why not as she does make me feel really good especially when we together I'm now finding it doesn't seem to have made a difference which is why I'm starting to question it as people are say ?

@Ady *****

thanks for your reply yes it's like we are saying you had to show sending her money that is the money she has now in her account so I'm about background down in flights and wedding cost she does have a good job and earns well there so I don't think it it's her more this agent changing things and not putting the application in ?

@Michael *******

to show that she could support herself what he earns herself she could not spend on the wedding so she could show that she could have a good bank balance I just topped it up and paid her outgoing for the three weeks we were there and she was not working so just trying to give the facts that combined we would have eight thousand pounds I have paid this agent 300 deposit another 200 when complete it's just that they tell me I have to do certain things I do it and then they've added something else last time I had to show 3000 now they're saying no I need to show 4000 so they've not put the application form in case it fails again

@Nigel *******

well thanks for the the update as I only ever did a month it's not an issue for me lol I will get a proper Thai licence if I end up living there then

If in the UK and it's a UK driving licence you have you can apply for an idp and international driving permit three years from the post office main cost me £5.50 you just take a passport photo and you're driving licence my copy from your full driving licence onto it and stamp It easy

Quick question I went to the British Embassy and registered to prove I'm single eligible to marry a Thai woman I was told it had to be translated my wife found someone who could do it we went 24 hours we then went to the other building after a bit of a weight hanging around they came out with a Red marriage certificate book but they never seem to get me my English version back that I got from the embassy saying that I was single infant until nice arts out her visa stuff I didn't even get the married certificate as it was in Thai on both sides any advice on this ? If that's the norm would be helpful
