Hey guys! I didn't expect this video to garner so much attention. 🤯 With that in mind, can I please ask that we are all respectful to one another? People have differing opinions and that's what makes for a healthy society. I know immigration and government policy can be a sensitive and emotional issue, and I can also sometimes be guilty of making comments in bad judgement too. I am simply trying to find a better life for me and my wife, who is the sweetest woman on Earth and poses no threat to either the UK's society or public funds. Any more rude or inappropriate comments will just be blocked. Thank you everyone for your kind words of support - I'm blown away and you are all slowly restoring my faith in humanity 🙏🏻❤

Fellow Interceptor rider here.. I feel for your situation, really I do and wish you all the best. Many years ago I met a Czech lady, beautiful, sought after profession in pharmaceuticals and better English than many natives, I always remember the disrespect shown to her from the UK authorities.. and the respect I was shown when visiting her country. I finished up giving up my life in the UK to move to be with her, we married and had a very happy life before she sadly died of breast cancer some years ago now. I'm still living in the Czech Republic and whilst I love the country of my birth I have no wish to return especially when I see the situation on immigration and the NHS. I thought then... and I think now that it should be a RIGHT of a British native to invite his spouse to join him here, it's upsetting to see so many people now in the UK that have no ties to the country and are there basically as economic migrants whilst Britons have seemingly very few rights. I hope everything turns out as you hope for Patrick.. Good luck!

@PGTripsMedia 11 месяцев назад

Hello! You have great taste in motorcycles clearly! Wow. I'm so sorry to hear about your wife 😢 Life can be so cruel. I have no issue paying for the NHS for her or a reasonable visa fee. As you say, it should be a right in a so-called first-world society. Thank you for sharing your story, it is truly inspirational and gives me much hope. Thank you for taking the time to wish us well. You seem like a wonderful human being and I wish you happiness too 🙏🏻

My heart goes out to you. I married a Thai 20 years ago now. I know they have tightened up on immigration in recent times (unless you wash up on our shores with no documents!). Thai women are generally very loyal, so stay strong and sure it will work out in the end. ps; Thailand is a wonderful country to live in once you adjust to it.

Don't grieve for Pumpkin; bikes can be replaced. I had a little Skygo Earl 150 Classic (a locally-assembled Lifan) in Philippines which suited the local conditions perfectly well. Ok, it wasn't an Interceptor, but it sufficed. I feel for you Patrick but, sadly, this is not a unusual situation in a number of western countries. My wife and I were apart for over two years due to Covid restrictions, me stuck in Oz and she in Philippines. She's Filipina and we're 12 years together, 8 years married and I finally managed to get her and our daughter into Australia last year. Cost? Over $50,000 AUD. It reached a point at which, if we'd received yet another demand for documents already supplied but then deemed out of date due to Immigration taking so long to process the application, we were going to forget the whole exercise, write off the cost and I would have moved back to Philippines. Fortunately, the visa was finally granted, so that wasn't necessary, but it was a very close-run thing. So, all the best to you and your wife. Being together and happy is far more important than where, despite the inevitable locational challenges that one faces.

@PGTripsMedia 11 месяцев назад

Hi Chris! 😁 I do get attached to my bikes haha 😂 That must have been awful to have been apart. I just don't get the justification for these sums of money. It's legalised corruption. How can they do this to families? So glad you managed to get the visa granted. You're exactly correct which means we'll settle for the next best option in Thailand 🙏🏻😁 Thanks for the comment mate, inspirational for me and my wife and we appreciate it.

@chrisweeks6973 11 месяцев назад

@@PGTripsMedia Agreed, being apart for so long wasn't fun and I'm sure that you can relate to it. For us as a family, it also meant that I missed out on the vital early teen years of bringing up our daughter. Sadly, governments don't care about their people, who are viewed merely as a source of revenue. The visa systems are legalised robbery and, frankly, they make Ned Kelly look like a rank amateur. My wife and I hope that you can be successful in Thailand and, above all, be happy together - whatever life throws at you. 🙏🙂

No foreign income and no local employment (pittance), unless she is super wealthy I cant see how she will sustain you for the long haul. And the Farang will end up being penniless with difficulty just getting back home. My advice try applying to emigrate to AUS from Thailand. It may take a few years but if successful you'll have everything UK can offer plus a lot more. Good luck mate. PS. I ride a RE Tribute 500.

I doubt that any of the individuals looking to hitch a ride on a rowing boat from Cale to the UK have an Eastern European accent. Your chances of encountering someone of Thai descent in that area are higher than coming across someone from Eastern Europe.

@Tomasz.P___b 11 месяцев назад

Regardless of Brexit, Eastern Europeans are still welcome here. In some instances, they may require a visa (which is relatively easy to obtain), but none of them have any interest in being here illegally (get here via Cale on a raft). It's important not to confuse them with asylum seekers who receive financial support for various services. 😄 Easter European get nothing, they can get job seeker allowance but only if they worked firs for specified amount of time. I expressed these thoughts because, as you may have inferred, I became somewhat frustrated. I am of Eastern European descent and, like you, I have paid substantial taxes that could sustain a medium-sized country. I belong to the highest tax bracket, yet I can't help but feel that my contributions primarily support native citizens rather than fellow Eastern Europeans.

@@PGTripsMedia If you can find someone from Poland, Hungary, or Slovakia in Calais, I'll publicly apologize. In Calais, the majority are clearly of Asian and Arabic descent (with Arabs also being considered a part of the broader Asian category). Thai people are, of course, Asian. I admit to generalizing, but no more so than your references to "Eastern Europeans." Please spare us your sarcastic remarks about Eastern Europeans receiving freebies; it doesn't reflect reality. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate being lumped into the same stereotypes as a typical English tourist, would you?

My brother, good luck in your return to Thailand and never forget your beautiful lady waiting for you there. You'll make it happen. So sad that your own country won't let your legal wife in without paying an outrageous sum when they let in every sort who washes up on their shores for no reason at all, and the taxpayers have no choice but to see their government use their money to support it. It's much like that where I live...the USA. This is the first of your videos I've seen; RU-vid's algorithms decided to recommend this to me today. Sad that you must leave your own country to be with your lady and sad that you must give up your precious Pumpkin. I've been riding motorcycles since the 1970s and you have some picturesque places to see from the back of your steel steed. Do your best and perhaps there will be another Pumpkin in your future in Thailand. Triumphs are made in Thailand, so perhaps one of those instead. Best of luck to you, and cheers from America.

I have heard that people from Brazil are doing this buy the thousands. I brought my wife to the U.S legally while I was in the U.S army to get her hear and from a K1 finance visa to citizenship cost me about 6,000 dollars. I can totally understand some sort of evidence to prove you have been together for 6 months to a year but once you are legally married as long as you don't become a burden on the government, they should let you be in whichever of the two countries were born in without any headache.

@PGTripsMedia 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately so. It’s not just the £19,000 per annum income of my own I need to prove for 6 months continuously, it’s also the fact that over 5 years, and for her to gain settled status, we’ll be spending approximately £15k in costs, if not more. Out of principle, I’m simply not prepared to pay it. We can rent a house for £175 a month in Thailand with no bullshit taxes and the visa costs £50 a year. I’m not disabled enough to claim for any benefits as I get statutory sick pay for surgery and recovery and it doesn’t count toward income as it’s too little. The health care is great in Thailand. I used hospitals and clinics and never waited more than 5 mins for a doctor. I’m still young so insurance will be reasonable. I was much happier living in Thailand and she has a good job, car and land over there. We’ve literally been priced out of living in my own country by millionaire politicians that come from immigrants. Ironic, right? 😂 Thanks for the comment, I appreciate the help and concern 🙏🏻
