So he’s not in a REMO country 🙄
no chance hes working for a British company?
ive heard of someone getting claims against a person sobtgat when they reentered uk it was then retrievable. But not aware of the ins and outs.
sadly, if he opts to send presents I wouldn’t be dismissing them as that would come to bite you on the bum so to speak.
Its galling. But nothing you can do besides investigating above as presumably at some point he intends to return to uk unless he’s a Thai National?
If it was me, I’d get all of the expensive things off the list to him and a few besides. Especially given so much is s lot cheaper out there!
