Schengen Visa III

We were told that my wife's Schengen Visa would be ready very soon. It is so exciting to get a step closer to our goal!

Schengen Visa III

They had said that the call to collect her passport would come ‘today or tomorrow’, but it didn’t and that has left my wife assuming the worst and being a pain in the neck, especially to me. Every time I open my mouth, I get my head bitter off, so I have come out to let her stew on her own for a while.

I really hope that the phone call comes tomorrow because today is Thursday, the current situation will only get worse, and Monday is a very long way off.

It is a stressful time for us and especially for her as we have booked flights for the 23rd (12 days time) and we have to get back home (a day), pack, sort some things out, say our Goodbyes and get back down here (another day) by the 21st. We had expected to be in Bangkok for three or four days – five maximum – but we arrived nine days ago already.

Update: we have been here a fortnight now, but got an email telling us to pick up my wife’s passport ‘anytime’. However, they did not state whether she has been granted a visa or not.

Fingers crossed!

It was too late to get there yesterday, Tuesday, so she went this morning. It took hours to get there and hours to get back, however after ten minutes in the embassy she came out smiling with a ninety-day visa. So, it’s the bus home (650km) tonight, a lift back to Bangkok on Saturday and a flight out on Monday.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
