Really? This is a sweeping overgeneralisation. I find most Kiwis to be very obnoxious and always have a chip on their shoulder about something (small country syndrome).

My point exactly. Whether "nobody seems to have anything against them" is irrelevant to the ease of getting a passport. Its usually due to reciprocal rights.


And before people get upset and go off on the whole "racist" angle ... Im a Kiwi: was trying to be humourous somewhat.

Actually, my point was that Kiwi passport holders seem to get easy access through most border points, and get visas easily or in many cases not need one. There is some evidence that in hijackings Kiwi passport holders are more likely to be released, less likely to be summarily shot. Despite their (claimed) individual obnoxious-ness, as a political entity Kiwis don't seem to offend (and their participation in many 'peace-keeping' and other roles globally doesn't seem to have been noticed by terrorists).

Gee lane lover, you're really doing us Kiwis proud on this Forum. Keep up the good work.

Given all the different views, again, I'd speak to a professional. I don't think you have anything to worry about but everyone on here is largely speaking from their own experience (including me) which may or may not be relevant given our different nationalities and the rules that may have changed since we applied.

heheheh .thanks guys and thanks to Lady D .:D

thanks for your support .now I know i don't need to be so worry about it .i ll do what s Lady D said :)

once more .i love east dulwich forum .there is wonderful people in this area .its true what they say : Dulwich is like a community: totally true !!!!

God bless you all!!!!!

ciao :)

uncleglen and Germany ?i know the politic are good .they dont have economy problem .there is job s opportunity .if you dont like anymore to live here .i think we all have to choose what make us happy . life is too short .i think .uncleglen .do it .good luck to you .!!! :)

I don't think that legislation was created to target neighborhood chat rooms any more than anti-terrorist legislation was created to imprison accountants for poor jokes on Twitter.


I'm sure it wouldn't require guidance from the Director of Public Proescutions to see that!

It's the OISC who would be the ones to decide whether to bring charges not the DPP.


The reason it is a regulated activity though, is because of the vulnerable nature of many of the people who need help, so even if someone is well meaning, but wrong in their advice, the effect on the person heeding their advice can be significant.

That's not the case Ian. Even if you offer immigration advice for free or are a charity you must be registered. Making comments on a forum is unlikely to be a problem but it's worth pointing out because the reason giving immigration advice is illegal if not registered is because of the unique vulnerability of the people who need the advice and the disastrous effect on people's lives of incorrect advice.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
