the £50 note was known to be a target for forgers even with the Queens head. The same for the €500 note. No one wants to take the chance

@Joe ******

drive through?

@Ian *********

again I try snd be helpful by stating what has already been suggested by someone else and I get nailed.

But why do immigration always want the boarding card at both in and out. To record the filght.

But since the UK has me down as "not the person of interest" they are looking for and but still get checked everytime I enter the UK. I wonder just how much jnfo immigration services hold. I am a British citizen.

A friend of mine was jailed for 6 months because his travel movements were suspicious and coincided with four incidents in four countries. If you think your movements are not bring tracked by airlines and governments you may be suprised.

@Ian *********

I saw an interesting comment earlier. They said if you offer a temporary ticket, it will be noted in the system. If you do not use it then that could raise a red flag. Immigration will clearly know about this and have your immigration record.

I arrived with a return date ticket well over the 60 + 30 days. Used the Thai wife card and infomed the IO that she was arranging tickets. He was happy but I have a squeaky cleam record over 30 odd years.

@Jeffrey ********

it seems getting there are three possibilities after the initial visa exemption and possible extension.

1. Border bounce where you leave and enter same day.

2. Leave and return a few days later

3. Obtain a visa.

1 and 2 soley down to the IO and your previous history.

@Lynnette ******

well that's embarrassing. Certainly not pro military and have a lot of sympathy for refugees displace by war and genocide as the Israelis practice.

@Lynnette ******

both enter illegally without a visa. They lie to remain in the UK. Our kindness suits their to get into the UK illegally. 99% are not fleeing oppresion but seeking economic gain from the UK tax payer.

@Craig ********

just them told I was married to a Thai and my wife was making arrangements. Guess they know how that works.

Remember it is the airline that is fined if you arrive with an incorrect visa and denied entry.

@Myles ******

that is a good point about fake tickets
