British Embassy Again!

**marko** · 20th January 2006 12:39

Now British citizens applying for visas on their girlfriends or wives behalf are forced to wait outside in the heat for hours, often all day. Yes - that's right - Brits denied access to british soil. Apparently they don't have the room in that MASSIVE complex to comfortably accomodate the very people they are there to serve!

And if you are in a hurry for a visa then forget it! Now the people working (sorry, wrong word) there are now quoting FOUR MONTHS for a simple visa to travel.

Honestly folks... when is enough gonna be enough with this appaling collection of lazy blooody minded buffoons?

be lucky if you get one mate - there are loads and loads of chicks who've been turned down just cuz they're Thai. Nothing wrong with them either. Good luck anyway

Another letter to the Post mate?

The missus had no problem

They have made you wait outside for a while now though.

If she has all the documents and the supporting evidence it will be issued in a few days otherwise its a long wait.

The embassy has been getting slagged off left right and center recently but from my experience they have always been very helpful and I've been there for a number of different reasons recently.

I've found that you really need to do your homework on what paper work they require or else you will have problems and not with just waiting around.

anyway good luck

Surprised they haven't sent the boys around to discuss this in person by now Marko.

Keep trying.

Wise words there mate, see why you topped the diplomatic core and got the best gig going here in Bangers. Is it true that you would like to see all British citizens barred from the embassy (especially fat pasty birds) and only Thai student girls allowed in?

That's terrible, Marko.

Another bad story. I don't understand it.

(Good to see you around here :chug: )

Is the visa for a bird, or ladyboy? I would imagine that it could make a difference... :smile:

Wife had to wait ages for the visa interview. Apart from that, no problems. Just a case of 'feeding' them all the paperwork, proof of contact, funds info, they want to see.

Bladdy hot standing outside the place though.

Are these girlfriends or wives British citizens? I only ask cos I often get second class treatment at foreign embassies in the UK, it's to be expected.

^ Mate if they were British citizens I don't think they'd need a Visa for the UK...would they?

Once upon a time you had to go there to get visa enrty to Hong Kong. Perhaps it's still the case if you want to go to any otter UK colony, we still have a few don't we mate?
