I see using the term newly beloved was confusing & should maybe just say Thai lady/girlfriend (girlfriend is a term I avoid due to our age bracket and British misconceptions) I work in the UK because I earn a pretty decent wage and there is no comparable job or wages. Please remember when answering to someone's reply, to someone else's post - it is about the visa not my situation - which is more the point. Lots of people trying to stay longer and longer when actually, without income, 60 days is plenty on time initially unless you have a grand, well planned adventure to embark on.
