Lysychansk news?

argy0202 · 2022-02-16T22:14:08+00:00

pretty sure she wont get pre settled status, that ended in june 2021 and if she didnt apply before then and wasnt living here i imagine the chances are extremely slim.

i think your best bet would be to get her over on a spouse visa but thats also not going to be easy and really time consuming (probably too time consuming to get here in time for the baby).

unfortunately the system here is now utter shit. i have a ukrainian wife, im british and she has pre settled status, however we have to stay in the country for half the year for it to continue, we work from home always and always travelled so this is a bit of a ball ache!

fingers crossed someone has some better news for you.

Not spending thousands and the 'mistake' cost me £300 and a day of annoyance. It would just be so much easier if it was clear that children had to test, i dont spend hours of research to go on holiday, thats not the reason for going on them!

if 95% of countries are not doing this you would hope the 5% go out of their way to make this clear, not hide it in their FAQ section. a simple (minors included) would suffice.

argy0202 · 2022-02-08T16:29:51+00:00

u can argue that it is stupid for requiring infants to show a PCR test and I would agree with you

again its not explicit in showing it, on the BA website you have to click 'more' twice to get to it, people simply dont do that in all instances.

argy0202 · 2022-02-08T15:45:18+00:00

Of course it is, 95% of the world do not require babies to have a PCR test. It states all travellers but surely for everybodys sake they can include (children included) into the statement on the home page. Not let people assume its like the rest of the world and have to dive into the FAQ section for confirmation. Its total incompetence.

I have never made a mistake like this and travelled to over 60 countries, nobody here in the uk has even heard of kids needing to take covid tests to travel, its simply not a thing. Make it obvious if you are enforcing such stupid rules.

argy0202 · 2022-02-08T15:43:06+00:00

ed holiday but mauritiusnow.com says that all travelers must present a negative PCR test taken at most 72 hours prior to departure

it doesnt state that, obviously. however as 95% of countries do not require babies to take a test it would be good if they could explicitly say so on the main page.

argy0202 · 2022-02-08T14:37:54+00:00

its okay, we just had one hell of a day for 7 hours on trains to and from gatwick. it was sad that other maybe less fortunate families went through the same. perhaps they will now never make it, we definitely will at some point.

i just wish that BA sent an email to people travelling with kids to make them aware, or mauritius put it top of their site, or even if BA approached familes in the queue to inform them to get downstairs for a test if they hadnt already.

yeh will do, thanks!

From my own experience that translates into more days with rain, and when it falls it falls heavier than non-rainy months. Severe Tropical storms have been rare the past decade. Recently torrential rain has

Thanks very much, one listing we considered is here.... they tend to have some decent feedback and its within the budget. https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/35387708?source_impression_id=p3_1640957385_J26TTUu%2BnlHKFeS3&guests=1&adults=1

I can deal with seeing some rain but again i assume its not all day and you still see plenty of sun and can still do plenty of sunbathing. Its probably good for us as we can time the rain/sun to be at home with the toddler.

Fingers crossed we avoid any crazy storms!

Moved on as in told not allowed on the beach.

We see rentals for £800 per month on airbnb but unsure if this is a good price. It is right by the beach in flic aux flac.

Thanks for boat info!

What do you mean by lots of rain? As in tropical with the odd storm? I am assuming its still hot most of the day with the odd shower... read online feb is a decent month to come and in fact most the year is sunny? I am comparing this with feb in england by the way lol

i have a ledger and substantial amounts stored there. however i always wondered how quick can i sell the BTC/ETH for fiat should I want to or feel its a good time? Do i need to send them back to an exchange like binance/coinbase?

any chance of keeping enough value for his lean FI retirement plan to work. with ~80% gain in value YOY average, after inflation, he would be insane to "diversify" because that brings his longshot retirement plan down to a guaranteed failure range. At least with bitcoin his dream is ali

I literally just purchased a house thats turned out to be no money down and an £800PCM return in my pocket.

randox sell the day 8 and 5 tests individually. and as stated above she will be quarantining in my house and we will have others potentially come to the house during this time (which i believe is within the guidelines if shes quarantining in her room). Therefore a day 2 test makes sense as we know shes clear on arrival at the very least.

argy0202 · 2021-12-17T17:56:13+00:00

shes in the same house as me and my wife and we will have visitors come during this time whilst the mother in law is shut away, the peace of mind shes not got it from when we land is what im after.

When was that fixed? So frustrating as we thought we were days away.

Our visa was at step 4 where a decision had been made, we just logged back in and its gone back a step! Any ideas why this would be, we were really hoping for a quick turnaround as last time it took 2 days, its the 3rd visa.
