yes very true, people don't realise that most police/immigration/Drug enforcement simply just wait for some jilted lover or betrayed friend to do the leg work for them, that's why I keep anything like finances or immigration status safely under my hat! Not that I'm actually doing anything wrong anyway! Haha but safety first, then teamwork 😅

@Greg *******

yeah me too! Especially with £300 on the line! Not a wild sum in England but in Thailand it's serious money to be gambling on! I've seen too many horror stories of rejections! - So it's a specific rule that you must apply from the country you are present in?

thanks guys, I figured it would look better from my home country especially as all my tax, company registration, etc. is there plus they seem less worried about having to let the money sit for a long time (I've had it ready for about 6 weeks now give or take exchange rates) but I haven't been physically in the UK for like 3 years now. That's why I'm sort of unsure. I just don't want to accidentally break any rules!

Ok thank you Greg, I just thought that the UK seems to be more relaxed about the length of time you have the money maturing, I've had the 500,000 in my account for about 6 weeks now and I'm continuing to earn at a regular rate of about £1,400 a month. If I apply in Taiwan I will wait the 90 days but I am really missing Thailand so if I could expedite it by 6 weeks by applying with the UK it would be perfect. Plus I figured that the company I work for is very well known in the UK even by your average person on the street so I thought it may help?

Yeah sorry I realised I didn't make it clear in my question, I haven't been to the UK in like 3 years I won't be going back there any time soon. But I never sort of became a resident anywhere else.

Sorry I should have made it a little clearer, I actually haven't been to the UK in like 3 years now. That's why I'm a little unsure, but according to all official records I never stopped living in the UK
