This is a lie propagated by media and RW politics. UN convention (which UK signed) acknowledges they can arrive by any means, via any route, and apply for asylum when in a country they feel safe. Refugees get beaten by police (or racist groups aided by police) in Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Belgium. They are forced into slavery in Libya. Find the facts and stop spouting lazy racist tropes

@Tony ********

More ignorance. Crap at maths too

@Tony ********

Tony you're ignorant of the facts. Find better news media than Mail, Sun, Telegraph, Express. All run by non-dom foreigners who don't pay tax in the UK.

go to customs with cash

In theory UK HMRC will also have a view about where your main residence is, if you are less than 180 days in the UK.

@Ken ******

Yes. Swings and roundabouts, Ken. All needs to be factored in at a certain age

I'm open to living anywhere in SE Asia. I hear Laos and Cambodia are both cheaper that Thailand. Less onorous visa requirements too. And I can visit Thailand as often as I like

I don't know a country where working people take weeks off work to nurse a pet. And this one simply won't do it unless you're daft enough to pay him to. Seriously, it's not your fault and the dog is not your responsibility.

@Gregory *******

@Michael ******

you can use an agent but just be clear they use your local Immigration office
