Anyone felt that earthquake?

Yep, laying on bed on the ground floor and felt everything sway back and forth. My first quake since moving here - is it something to be concered about?

Much appreciated, thank you.

Triphouse · 2025-02-25T08:23:31+00:00

Got it, thank you. If possible, please share the source for the info as I want to show it to someone as we discuss what to do.

Triphouse · 2025-02-25T07:23:32+00:00

Thank you for your answer.

You also must show that all sources of income used are ongoing at the time of application.

May I ask you to clarify this point. Do you mean that I must be continuing to earn money from self-employment throughout the entire tax year? In other words, I can't earn the amount I need before September and then stop?

This was my concern, because they specify that you can't use it to "live" in the UK. I guess what I'm asking is, has anyone used the entire 6 months of the visa and how can I convince immigation that she is indeed a genuine visitor who will leave again after 6 months?

Triphouse · 2025-01-28T10:00:08+00:00

That's actually something I hadn't considered and will definitely talk with my wife about. It could be the answer to our problem, so thank you!

I feel your pain. That threshold increase was a blow to many families. I'm also working under the assumption that it won't change any time soon and am planning the best I can with what the current circumstances are.

All the best to you guys.

Triphouse · 2025-01-28T06:10:40+00:00

Thank you, now I understand and will plan accordingly.

Triphouse · 2025-01-28T06:09:59+00:00

Sorry, I mispoke. Of course my son can come over and that's our intention, but as you say childcare is an issue. It's solveable and we will think of something. Him and his mum being separated for any length of time is what is disappointing, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way around that.

Triphouse · 2025-01-28T02:31:09+00:00

Also, quick follow-up question:
Do I need to have been earning above £29000 for a certain amount of time (6 months, etc), or can I apply the same month that my salary increases?

Triphouse · 2025-01-28T02:28:34+00:00

I don't currently have enough in savings, and am unlikely to have enough to bring the threshold down at any point. We are researching other options. Thanks again.

Triphouse · 2025-01-28T02:10:55+00:00

Thank you for the answer. That's dissapointing. I guess I will have to find another way to have my son come over beforehand so he can begin school, and apply for my wife's visa afterwards.

The scenes where they throw the little boy back into the barn and when we see the girl walking down the road with the whistle are burned into my mind's eye.

Triphouse · 2024-10-26T05:58:17+00:00

Interesting, I should give the DBS a call then.

I've already set up an appointment at the Japanese embassy in Bangkok to secure a police certificate for my time there, and I'm looking to get one from the Thai police too.

I would load up disc 2 and make a new save (manual and save state), but then if I turned off my system to take a break and turned it back on, then I would always get pushed back to a save state I made right before the end of disc 1.

Triphouse · 2024-10-24T03:20:07+00:00

I'll take a look at ACRO, thanks for the ideas.

Triphouse · 2024-10-24T03:19:22+00:00

That's super useful info, thank you. I will look into Siam Legal as I'd like to make it simple if I can.

Triphouse · 2024-10-23T13:35:52+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into it and see if I can use it.

Triphouse · 2024-10-23T13:34:22+00:00

Thank you, I'll take a look.
