I don't need help. The op was asking a genuine question. It doesn't mean he needs the services of AA. Neither do I, believe me. If I think or believe that I or people I know would possibly need the services of the AA, then I would certainly direct them.

My final word. You don't know me, my background OR my previous experiences or not with alcohol. So can I politely suggest that you keep your thoughts, regarding this, to yourself. Bear in mind some people have a sense of humour, and sometime times a sense of humour is used to help with issues, obviously not in your case. So be very careful when you decide to vent your thoughts and how it's done.

Goodnight young lady.

I went there once. It was shite, there was no bar.

Where's your immigration office mate?

@Arnaud ********

only if you have it, otherwise a residence cert

Been told by a guy in a bar in Udon that you can only get a retirement visa if you meet all the existing criteria. In addition you need to have the ability to

recite the Quran in Hebrew, whilst sitting in a bath of cold beans. Of course, its only a rumour.

What ever happens, happens. Don't need the rumours mongering 555

Different offices, different requirements. Present what is asked for at IO you use.

You will get alsorts of different answers on here due to personal experiences. The differences between IO's should not exist, but it does. Its down to individual understanding of the rules. I'm sorry to sound a but negative, but that's the way it is with any government dept. over here. Sometimes it's like nailing jelly to a wall.
