TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of bringing a girlfriend from Thailand to the Netherlands involves several steps and requirements. It's advisable to start by checking the Dutch Embassy's website for specific visa requirements. Generally, for a short stay of up to 90 days, you will need to arrange a visa through VFS Global, which includes submitting necessary documents such as proof of return to Thailand, travel insurance, and an invitation letter. Also, financial stability and proof of your relationship are essential factors in the application process. Recent discussions highlight the importance of preparing documentation thoroughly and being aware of current waiting times due to increased demand.

Talk to the headman of her Issan village first. Buy him a crate of lao khao and he might be willing to let her go. Don't forget to pay the barfine for the entire period though!

So if you did the whole procedure before, you don't remember
@Vi***
? I did this procedure from 2010 onwards (I now already live in Thailand for almost 5 year). Not THAT much changed. Only she has to go to VFS Global in the Trendy building. Write an invitation letter and that you take care she goes back. And you need the 'garantie verklaring' with income and you let her stay with you, stamped by y'r local municipal office. Also copy of her last visa may be helpful.

You probably need to financially vouch for her, need a legalized paper from your municipality, proof you have a relationship (photos, text messages), write a letter about how you two met. Its a hasstle but can be done. Three months is maximum. It will help if she has a job, house or something that ties her to Thailand.

As long as you meet the minimum requirements of how much you supposed to earn according to the dutch requirements, paper work is not so difficult. You can look at which papers are needed.if you don't qualify move to Belgium the minimum requirements of salary was less than the one required in the Netherlands. Belgium is easier when it comes to bring a spouse. Search for Belgium route on Google.

@Shaun ******
completely off-topic because they are not married. It's next to impossible to bring a southeast Asian girl into Europe. In short she needs to prove that she will come back to Thailand. They will not believe anything that is not backed by a ton of evidence.

@Alain **********
that's not correct what you are saying. I brought my girlfriend who was not work at the time. I only had to be a financial guarantee that's all I did. I am from the Netherlands as well

I think the website of the government of the Netherlands can also provide you with a lot of information and is probably also (at least partly) translated in at least also English (besides Dutch).

Yes, I know. I asked him 'Vitor Silva Yes, but 'Did she already come over on a 3 months Tourist Visa before?' ? and he replied 'more than 3 months' but indeed Tourist visa max.

days.

I think he can find most of the information on the website or in the town/ city he lives.

@Vitor ******
OK. Good. So at least she knows the country a bit. That's a good step I think. More than 3 months on a Tourist Visa? Stuck because of Corona?

Read on the website I posted here and I think many things might become clear.

Yes, but 'Did she already come over on a 3 months Tourist Visa before?' ?
Sander *********
This is a first step and there is a lot more information:

It's not easy and cheap for a longer stay (permanent stay) though and there are a lot of rules you have to follow. Did she already come over on a 3 months Tourist Visa before?

Need to arrange visa for 90 days max within 180 days period. Look at the Vfs website for all the papers you need to fill in (application, guarantee statement (to be legislated), passport copies, proof that she will return to Thailand, travel insurance and reservation for planeticket. Then make appointment for her at Vfs Bangkok, handin papers and passport. When approved they will send passport back to her with visa stamp. If not approved you can go into appeal but that will take additional 2 to 3 months
Michael ****************
Please notice that today I requested appointment Vfs. First date available 29 June.
