What are the challenges and considerations for a foreign man wanting to marry a Thai woman and bring her to the UK?

Hi guys, yeah I’m from Australia and I’m dating a girl from Thailand and yes it all starts from online, thank god.

I’m 61 and she is 34 we have fallen in love as much to say soul mates, we love each other more than anything.

She not looking for money, she works as a pharmacist at first before she decided that it never paid enough, so she decided to become a nurse RN, she worked and paid for her nursing course for 4yrs, she finishes in December.

Look she was just looking for someone to just love her, I’m so glad I found her.

She doesn’t want to

Move here to Australia and I don’t want her to, I have 6 more years before I retire, I will have fun going back and forth to Thai between now and then, but final out come I will be moving there to join her.

My last Wife was Filipino so I know the way of Asian women.

For me I never felt this way even with my last wife.

I see my new life in Thai will be just a blossom like a flower..

see you all there..!😂

There's a lot of women here in Thailand. It can be difficult to find a man that will care and support them. Many are good companions. I would suggest you find one with a real job to insure she isn't looking for the easy way out. I've seen many men taken advantage of here and fewer who found their soulmate. Do your research.

And good luck to you!

You need to go to the British embassy website and check which visa are available, I got a spouse visa for my wife. Be very careful check and double check everything and don’t pay for her mother’s hospital bills or for the sick buffalo. Good luck and all the best for your future

Thai women fall in love with stability not looks or personality…..message your Thai lady and say you’ve fallen on hard times and could she lend you some money……

Ralph *******

How many times have you visited her and how long did you stay?

Ralph *******

I’m a similar age and have had some very good relationships. I now have a very sweet lady.

There are many Thai women that see farang as an opportunity to improve their lives. There are some that are looking for a loving relationship. It’s a bit of a minefield.

My advice to you is to not choose too young.

If you hang out in American or European bars and strip joints, it is highly unlikely that you will meet the sort of woman that you would like to take home to mother. Thailand is no different and there's no reason that you should expect it to be. However there are many other Thai ladies whose primary interest is not monetary. You can't judge all Thais based on those you encounter while partying in Thailand; most are quite different. I suspect that most of the cynics on this page had a fling with a bargirl that ended badly. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Depends on the mother, my dildo wielding strapon wearing butch dyke of a mother would think her the most perfect gift. We can't choose our family, my father, the right Reverend, has no problem with my mother, neither has his flock, though they stopped her teaching sunday school to the all girl group.

Ralph *******

Not quite true. Some of us have had relationships with women we meet on dating sites. There have been a few that were only looking for money, looking to improve their lives and they weren’t bar girls.

and again genius I have two friends here who have quite good relationships with girls that they met in the bar. One’s been married for over 25 years but he bought the farm with the family and he’s perfectly happy to do it. It was a win-win so again, putting down Thai girls in the bar cynic makes you look ?

Richard ***************

OK genius, here’s your wisdom again, many of us have met girls online and the girls that didn’t work in bars, now are you gonna keep trying to belittle us because we did not find one in a million when you did, is it fun for you to put down other people, calling them cynics!

I have two thoughts I guess. One is that your statement or question is sincere but lacks experience and time. I understand why you say what you say, cuz I said the same thing sort of at that point in my relationship.

many of the people with negative comments will be ones who chose wrong. who got burned by the wrong one he did not make good choices. how do you know it's not easy and it's not rocket science. at our age and I'm not as old as you but close we have experience to draw on you say that you can spot a scam a mile away and that is good but this is Asia. your standards for reference are going to be a bit off. be careful.

I have been in the same relationship with the same women since I arrived. and before we talked every night on video chat for hours I thought I knew her pretty well and I do, but there's many things culturally that I don't even understand. I may never understand. and sometimes I find out the hard way. so far though I've been able to bounce back from all of that and everyday our relationship is better. there is no reason why you cannot have a good relationship with the woman in her mid-40s. just take it slow at first and be careful. be ready for a life-changing experience.

Get a retirement visa for Thailand for yourself, and you can spend extended periods of time in Thailand, without any problems coming and going, try living together first for extended periods of time, take it slowly, don't make any big purchases, you will likely get requests to buy a house, car, motorcycle, gold, give money for her family etc etc, wait until you are more sure the relationship is genuine, some will play the long game, you can get a 6 month visit visa, for your girlfriend for the UK.

Think forward by 15 years I have similar prospect but it is madness. I would not want my Thai " friend " to be a care giver to me It is reality sadly.. I found a 60 year old lady from another culture altogether to join me in the land of smiles

Let people think what they want

I agree 100%. After a direction question on the MTR in BKK, I met my wife. From an Issan mountain family. I now own a home on her land with water and jungle! If you come only for perversion that is a temporary vacation, and being slowly limited to certain areas. My life changed for the better!

Keith *******

Good on you mate. Well said. There's a lot of ignorant people on this page. Thailand neither needs these types or want them in their beautiful country.

Dana ******

I agree with you. I also agree there is no problem with the age difference... I have seen age does not mean the same thing as it does in the West.

I do need to remind you that you sound like the "but my girl is different" horror stories we all hear about.
