Visa arrived this morning

[bigmarco]

Well finally 8 1/2 months after we submitted the application the Visa finally arrived today. We're both thrilled to bits although my wife has to wait another week to get her CFO sticker as apparently UK bound spouses can only go on a Thursday.
One point is that she has been given a Multi Entry Visa valid from 19/9 2012 until 19/12/2014. Am I right in assuming that we are allowed to leave the Country as much as we want during the period of the Visa.
Finally I have to book a flight for my wife and I have a vague recollection of a thread some time ago where a member had problems regarding producing the Card that was used to purchase the ticket, at the departure. Cant find the thread now but does anybody remember the Airline as I'm just trying to avoid any silly problems arriving.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to you both, well deserved

seems to indicate PAL booking conditions

Congratulations.

Yes, multi entry means that she can leave and enter on the same visa. But remember that this is a visa for settlement and later in the visa process, there is an requirement about the number of days allowed outside the UK.

It is best to check with the airline you are booking with as in some cases a signed copy of the card used would need to be produced at check in.

Great news.

It was jlags90 who posted about the credit card fiasco and the airline was Etihad.

I had a similar problem with Etihad. I wouldn't say don't fly with them, the flight was good and the prices were reasonable. Just the issue with the credit card malarkey, if you buy from them directly and don't use an agent.
