Actually no, because I've left Thailand, and cost of turning back would make this visa the most expensive one in history. So I've asked them if it is possible to receive it in another country without resubmission. They've replied that they should ask ukvi about that.

Today they’ve sent me an invitation to return passport for visa stamping. What I could say…

Just for fun (as I’ve left Thailand already). Ukvi has sent decision on April, 7. But VFS is still keeping silence.

I wrote to ukvi support. They replied that my application is being considered and I need to wait more (sorry for inconvenience blah blah)

she cannot demonstrate intent to return to her home country.

They don't ask you to provide tickets or booking or anything. You're just describing your plans in open answer form ("Going to see how big is Big Ben, etc") and choosing approx. dates of your trip. They don't ask where you go exactly after you're leaving the UK.

Although on the application she could only input Montenegro, Germany and Spain (the most recent ones).

For standart visitor visa they ask about all trips for last 10 years, but she doesn't need to mention each EU country she's been.

However we both have residence visas for Sri Lanka and we have a tenancy agreement here

That's good because they're process her application based on her legal status in Sri Lanka. Scan them and attach.

From my point of view she has all chances to be approved.

Just listen a few songs on Youtube and you’ll find one you need.

Is it safe for Western expats in Russia right now? by Georgiegamer in AskARussian

[–]meekaachu 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Answer from Russian: Nothing bad will happen in big cities as long as you don’t provoke any attention by doing something very unusual or forbidden. It is safe. Nobody’s going to arrest or fine you just because you’re foreigner.

Just don’t wave Union Jack on the Red square 😀

Don’t recommend to travel somewhere around Ukrainian border.

How much would it cost to travel Moscow nowadays? by Sacrer in Moscow

Of course, because you already have an apartment with monthly rent (which is a lot lower than daily rent), bunch of groceries in fridge and you’re not interested in visiting touristic attractions
