The battle against Kafkaesque rules for a Bank of Scotland apology has been quickly followed by entry into a complicated maze of visa laws.<br\/>The couple had been married in a Buddhist ceremony in Thailand, however the Home Office didn&#8217;t recognise it and refused three visa functions.<br\/>They wed in Glasgow final month, but then McGowan spoke of the Bank of Scotland\u2019s refusal to open a joint account for them.<br\/>When  <a href=\"http:\/\/newswaveonline.xyz\">Illusive<\/a>  tried to send a small amount of money to Thanaporn in Thailand, Bank of Scotland employees described her as \u201ca criminal.\u201d The Bank of Scotland apology got here accompanied by the quite strange quantity of \u00a311 (US$15, 450 baht) in compensation, but it made little distinction.
