    I dont remember forcing anyone to spend some time with me

    I am single enjoy myself and have a good time nothing wrong with that

    If i wanted to support a large family in the province then i would get "loved up" and married but i am too busy having a good time

    I am only doing what most of you guys would love to do but you cant because you dont have my freedom

    The Mrs and I lived on just over a grand a month and that included a mortgage for a 3 bed semi in the south east for 5 years whilst we were planning our exit from the UK (in our early 40`s).. We have 3 kids and are now in our 6th year here in P.I... Never to return.
    When we first got married 25 years ago we were both broke.. She got her visa from the Embassy the week after we married.. Neither of us asked the government in the UK for anything..
    We worked for a living and established our lives as a couple..
    That was the norm in traditional British family life.
    These days a newly married couple needs 26k a year before they start married life!!!
    Glad Im not 21 again.

    Yes, but the mans point was that if the government think 26 grand is required then by the same token they must surely think the existing state benefit is woefully inadequate.

    Or put it another way, if the government think that the existing state benefit is enough then they must surely think that 26 grand for settlement visa applicants is more than adequate.....

    So.....sounds like you are one of these 'sex tourists' then?

    Please read this thread Mr London, tell this member he is not able to bring his wife here because he is not earning enough. Tell him to go earn more and see what response you get

    Don't give the troll the satisfaction guys.

    Let him scuttle off back to Angeles or wherever he busies himself taking advantage of poverty-stricken young girls, with no responsibility or conscience required.

    The government are under pressure to limit the immigration into this country, they see that the non EU route as the easiest to implement changes.

    Similar to the proposed child benefit cap, the government seem to think by putting a single figure for salary that this is the best option?

    With the increase in the cost of living, such as, fuel prices rising, high utilities bills and with most other basic needs increasing, it could be seen that £26,000 may be needed to support another person.

    The amount should not be based on how much you earn but on your expenditure. By providing the 6 months of bank statements, they should show the regular income going in and a positive balance after the monthly outgoings.

    A lot of it would have to have happened anyway because of the mess the last one left us in.

    Borrow borrow borrow, like there's no tomorrow.

    Well there is...and it's here.

    You really think so, do you?

    What if I were to tell you that, as an ordinary OAP my total Annual Income - inclusive of Occupational & State Retirement Pensions, respectively - amounts to just under £16k ... i.e., a full £10,000 lower than the Government's recommended minimum.

    Am I to suppose - if you are to be believed - that someone in my financial situation should be debarred from bringing his/her non~European partner to the country where he/she was born and bred?

    ... regardless of being considered "affluent" enough to continue contributing to HM Inland Revenue coffers.

    For the record, my wife is a BSc honours graduate whose degree is worth bugger all in the UK - irrespective of a successful 22-year teaching career in the Philippines. How fair is that, huh?

    Yet, despite the fact that neither of us is working, we still manage to live comfortably - WITHOUT the need to rely on public funds.

    So think on ...

    A good post and i am happy everything has worked out for you

    with the sheer numbers of people entering the uk and planning to live here of course the government have to bring in tighter controls

    I am sure that living on benefits is not so great and quoting these figures is not helping your case at all
