Re: Wise.com - New verification Process

My Lloyds Bank app also shuts down if you navigate away from it, and you have to log back in and start all over again. Presumably so as to not leave things "open" and therefore vulnerable if your...

Re: Passport photo nightmare...!!

My post-office generated passport is printed and arriving today - major excitement. I've received at least three messages reminding me to sign it in black ballpoint pen.

I'm fairly sure it will...

Re: Wise.com - New verification Process

All financial-related companies have to be super careful these days in order to protect themselves and meet the standards of assorted regulators. If you think Wise can be tricky, try Lloyds Bank...

Re: Passport photo nightmare...!!

Long time no see :)

I've moved back to the UK and just renewed my UK passport using the Post Office digital service. They take your pic and their official app shows whether or not it will pass,...

Re: Travel to Mombasa

Yeah, I suppose. I`m mostly leg so if I lucked out and got the 34 pitch it would be noticeable. Shaping up to be just like my transatlantic flights really. Longish layover in Nairobi airport, too.

Re: Travel to Mombasa

Thanks, both. Looks like I'll have to bit the bullet and cram myself into a BA seat. Of course I can't do any of it until the passport office deigns to send me my new passport.

Re: Pet Transport Recommendations

Animals go as cargo on passenger flights.

Everything in the hold of a plane is cargo, whether it's animal, passenger luggage, or other items being transported. You cannot just fly them like an...

Re: Pet Transport Recommendations

I can't manage a blow by blow account, it's detailed and I don't remember it all.

Re: Pet Transport Recommendations

I don't think that's right, unless it has changed in the last 18 months. I did my own from the US to the UK, successfully, in May of 2022.

What you do need is a UK broker on the UK end to process...

Re: Travel to Mombasa

Yeah. The only gap will be to and from airport and hotel since peoe are coming from different starting points. I'm sure there's a taxicsystem though. My main interest wS which internal airline to...

Re: Travel to Mombasa

New places and experiences are among my most favourite things ever. I also need to try and find where I left my French, since for the non-English speakers that's likely to be the favoured language...

Re: Travel to Mombasa

Thanks, SOS. That's very helpful. I didn't fancy the sound of "Jambojet" at all, but maybe it's ok :lol: I think I'll stick to the parent company - sometimes frills are good.

Re: Travel to Mombasa

Yes, I've read that too. Yet I suppose the citizens of Mombasa manage to go about their lives ok? I won't have time for sightseeing anyway, since it's a work trip.

What about the internal...

Travel to Mombasa

I will probably be going to Mombasa in October for work. It's a loooong trip, due to no direct flights from the UK to Mombasa and having to change in Nairobi. I would be interested in any...

Re: Miss the UK. Need advice on moving back.

Step one - answer ALL of Pulaski's questions carefully. If you don't know an answer, you will have to find out but don't guess or assume.

Re: Pet Transport Recommendations

I was recommended Air Animal, but I'm afraid that was a couple of years ago and I ended up managing it all myself due to the vast sums of money (3 - 4k usd) all the agencies wanted. Be aware that the...

Re: Miss the UK. Need advice on moving back.

As Helen1964 says, if you can swing it, take the trip. It wouldn't be instead of, but in addition to any longer term plan you can make. In the meantime, scratch the itch and see what it feels like,...
