TLDR : Answer Summary
A Polish man living in the UK wishes to marry a Thai woman residing in Pattaya and seek information on how to live in Thailand. Community members suggest considering a marriage visa but highlight financial requirements such as maintaining a bank balance or a steady income. They advise spending substantial time together before marriage, potentially starting with a tourist visa, and emphasize the importance of understanding personal circumstances and local realities in Pattaya.

I dont understand all negative comments and I dont even answer. Everytime I see her , I dont pay anything and I stay with her for free. I live in her house and use her car. We spend all the time online talking and even sleepping when I am away. What is wrong with you guys?

All that information, past history and stories, are widely available on the internet. THAT is the reason I 100% believe this was a set up. The guys you refer to would be too ignorant to even post such a question. If you are smart enough to ask the question, google can give you a lot of information resources with answers.

Thats completely understandable, that most rational people would think the way you do.

However pause for a moment and view this video below.

Imagine this chap or someone like him having the logical sense to think this through?

Unlikely I would say.

Is it his fault that his processing power is less.🤔. 😅

believe it or not-there are many men who are 1)naive 2)let their groin take over their rational thought

3)just plain ignorant and thick as a door knob 😂

For these people-entirely understandable if they ask such a question.

I have seen at least half a dozen people whose lives were totally screwed up after going down this route.

Anyone who thinks of marrying a Thai lady should definitely read this book available on Amazon before taking any foolish or rash decision.

You only have one life don’t screw it up!

Wouldn't the obvious answer be to fly to Thailand and marry her, apply for a marriage visa and then live in Thailand happily ever after?

Or an I missing something?

If you're sending her money, there's a likelihood she has a few other guys doing the same - this is the holy grail for many girls!

Take Kool Breez's advice and hire a private detective.

It’s all about money. Either you have a business you can operate from or in Thailand, have a job you can work in or from Thailand or have enough assets already to move to Thailand and retire.

That’s really all there is to it, unless she makes enough money from her business to support you.

Once you’ve sorted out your money situation. you just have to see which visa type makes the most sense given your age, finances and whether or not you’re willing to marry her.

I won’t say the obvious as your question is how to live and marry in Thailand, but I will just repeat:

1. Come and live with her at least 3-6 months before attempting anything

2. Marry no marry you can come as a tourist and do visa runs to achieve this length of stay

3. If over 50 you can apply for retirement visa 1 year

4. for marriage visa Paulo send a link in this chat

I agree, especially about the minimum of 6 months, more like one year or more. You need a lot of time to get to know someone and short visits do not count. If she is interested in you she does not need to marry right away and will wait, if it is you that wants to marry right away, buyer be warned.
