Not sure if this is the page. But I have a Thai girlfriend. I'm 56 she is 51 . She applied for UK visa and got it within 3 weeks.

I've heard lots of stories that it's failed for other people.

I think it's down to the person you want to invite.

My girlfriend has 3 properties a son that is graduating and has a good job.

Ties to having to go back to Thailand is important.

Without ties you may struggle to get your girlfriend here.

I have my Non-o visa and will be travelling in 2 months time.I will be applying for a 12 month extension on the grounds of being married to a Thai. We were married in the UK. I intend using my own 400,000bht and doing our own application.

I am trying to understand what I need to do in the UK before we travel to Thailand regarding what needs to be translated and legalised.I would be grateful of any advice on offer.

Hey I've already done some research online, but I just wanted to get some quick feedback. I've always done my visa extensions in Bkk and this will be my first time in Pattaya. I'm going to Chonburi immigration in the morning and I will need my passport, tm7(which I get there), passport photo, copies of passport pages, 1900 thb, and proof of res. With the proof of residence do they just want a picture of my Airbnb receipt as it goes for a few more weeks? Don't know if they are as easy as Bkk with that. Thanks for any info

Applying for my DTV Visa from Ho Chi Minh next week.

Do they ask for Travel / Health Insurance? I currently have SafetyWing and I'm wondering if it's sufficient or if they will ask for documentation.

Hey all...quick question. Once I'm approved for my DTV, is there a time frame that I need to enter Thailand? I.e. within 4 weeks?

I assume not and the 5 years just starts? Basically, I'm going to be in Hanoi and was gonna just do it then but I probably wont be back in Thailand for a few months.

Thanks for any info!

If I fly in on a tourist visa with the intent to convert it into a retirement O visa, do I purchase a round trip with a " throw away" onward ticket? I intend on using a visa agent.
