Another issue with documents. When you fill in the online application form, you have to nominate the application centre at which you will submit your application/attend for your interview. This doesn't seem like a difficult question however, when you come to booking an appointment you may need...

Documents One of the first documents required to be presented at the interview is a copy of the online application printed and signed (or is that two copies?). I wish they had mentioned that when I completed my application! Of course, once you proceed to try to book your appointment, the...

Booking an Appointment When submitting our applications online, we applied one after the other and received separate reference numbers and a group reference number. So one might assume that you book your appointment as a group, but this is not the case; each applicant is processed separately...

So the time arrived for us to apply for our Visas. I've previously successfully applied for visas for Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, China and India; all without any major issues, although they were for short-term tourist visas. However, this time we are applying for a long-stay tourist visa...what a...

Indeed

That's ot the first time that's happened. Some agents have told me the same on a number of occasions going back at least 8 years.

When I took a subscription, the price quoted depended on where you live. To pay in GBP you needed a UK address. Australian address quoted in USD.

I use the P8. It has just died after 12 years of faithful service (and I use the battery every night). Problem is a new P8 retails at around $500. Let me know if you find a better alternative.

I use a Transcend II travel CPAP with a battery. I sleep on my side with the machine and battery beside me; I pull the blanket over my head and nobody would know I was using my machine...no need to feel embarassed.

You'ld be surprised. A friend of ours had a heart attack at Lima airport and spent the next couple of years in a coma in Peruvian hospitals before passing away. The medical/hospital bills nearly sent the entire family bankrupt. $20m doesn't go far in the Americas.

Did the email include an e-ticket with ticket numbers beginning with 081-? If so, you're good to go. If not, follow up within 24 hours.

But the UK is still in Europe (geographically), just not part of the EU (as are Andorra and others). Although it could be argued that the UK has never been part of Europe culturally.

So the lesson is "don't phone and draw attention to yourself". Better to wait patiently for a month or two before following up. Never a good idea to ring a bank/airline/hotel regarding good point hacks as it can lead to the hack being closed down.

Well I have to take it back. I made 2 purchases on the last day of my third statement period but as noted above they showed on my statement as "pending" and didn't post until the following statement. However, despite this, my 10,000 bonus points came through with the following month's...

And on one of mine; SIN-BKK then RJ BKK-AMM-VIE (IIRC).
