No, it wasn't my wife, so I'm not my own mate. It was actually MO, an admin from the former Secrets board that got the ball rolling and sorted her visa as a favour to me for my mate who is a complete pleb( my mate not MO). I'm not sure where SIngapore came into this but she flew from Yangon to Bangkok on Myanmar International Airways then from Bangkok to Doha then on to London Heathrow with Qatar airways.

It was mainly the queue, they grilled her but she was queueing for 3 1/2 hours

I do, he's a cxxt

An Update for anyone that's interested. She contacted Myanmar Airways that put her in touch with a Burmese Travel Guru, he got in touch with Qatar for her and had an airline representative meet her off her Myanmar flight then escort her to the correct gate for her Qatar airways flight. On arriving at Heathrow she had four and a half hours in Immigration where we couldn't find anything out, I begged Qatar departures desk supervisor to see if she could find anything out and she told us she had boarded at Doha, a security guard eventually showed me where I could phone immigration on a phone that never got answered. Eventually she came wandering out and all is good. I'll give Qatar, already my favourite airline 10/10 for going above and beyond the call of duty and UK immigration 1/10, they didn't even bother to phone my mate to verify anything and she couldn't phone out.

Looks like I'm going to be on the phone for a while this morning. I'll keep you informed

She's doing the PCR test before she leaves Myanmar but she's not got a hotel booked, she only has 3 hours between flights I actually think she's only got hand luggage but I assumed that because she was changing airlines she'd have to pass through immigration to check in with Qatar

My mates Burmese wife finally gets to join him in the uk in 2 weeks. She's flying into Suvarnabhumi with Singapore then the rest of the way with Qatar. Because she's changing airlines she's going to have to leave airside and check in again with Qatar airlines, will she need to show cash to prove she can keep herself when "leaving the airport" and if so how much? We've been trying to find out but seem to be going in circles, I thought it was $300 US (or 10,000Bt) but she thinks it's $1300.

My English friend married a Burmese girl but they both travelled to Bangkok to get married there. That was 2 years ago, he's now waiting for her to finally arrive in the uk which should be in 2 weeks.
