ORIGINAL POSTERHi all. I’m looking to take my girlfriend to Cyprus to attend my sons wedding in June. She will need a visa, which looked like it can’t be done on line.
She approached a visa “company “ in soi buakow. They asked for all my confirmation of flights and hotels which I sent. (15,000) baht paid . Visa refused , then I see the” visa company “ has lied about our itinerary and claimed we were going to Paris and then Cyprus them Milan.
They sent application to French embassy. Clearly lying. Any ideas.
Time is now running short.
TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user encountered issues obtaining a visa for his girlfriend to attend his son's wedding in Cyprus due to a visa agency misrepresenting their travel plans. Members suggested alternatives, such as applying directly at the embassy, traveling through Turkey to Cyprus, or utilizing a Schengen visa for easier entry into Cyprus. The user is pressed for time as the wedding date approaches.

This agency probably has information that it’s easier and faster to get Schengen visa through France. Citizens of third countries can now enter Cyprus with Schengen visa. She can apply herself to Embassy of Cyprus if Thailand and ask where she can apply for visa. If she can run 2 businesses, she can sure figure it out

Since June 2014 Cyprus accepts a valid Schengen Visa (category C, double or multiple entry) equivalent to its national visa for transit through or intended stay on its territory not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period.Lana ***********

that’s what I said. Visa agency tried to get her French Schengen visa and it was denied.Reply to

No it’s takes time to get any Thai a visa best dealing with the embassy in Bangkok but to be honest you cutting it close even if she meets the requirements witch is basically a good reason to return ,money in the bank,own a home,have kids a job to return too ect.

yep we’re together 10 years have two businesses in jomtien and land. She applied a month ago then we received the lies about our intended countries even though I sent them all the tickets and hotels. Their either stupid and incompetent or just scamming to squeeze more cash out of us.Bob **********

you don't apply at the embassy any more. Everything goes through the service of VFS Global. They process the application and she might get invited for an interview at the embassy. She needs an appointment and a good reason. Cyprus is Greece and Turkey, so for the Greek part she either needs the Schengen Visitor Visa OR the Schengen Tourist visa. The two have different requirements, for which she needs all relevant information for a successful application. Like you correctly mentioned -Reason to Return, proof of own money, proof of a job, proof of vacation from the job, real estate if sho got some, etcPeter ****************
@Nongnuch *******
also not sure about VFS. The facebook site is still refering to them. But not sure.Nongnuch ********
@Peter ***************
you are right. Cyprus is member of the EU, but not yet in SchengenPeter ****************
@Nongnuch *******
Yep, and maybe direct go to the Consulate (It's not an Embassy) they have in Bangkok. Also on that page there is mentioned they do visa there 🤷♂️.@

Ask your son to hold the wedding in the Turkish part of Cyprus, or along the Turkish coast. Thai citizens get a visa-free entry for 30 days when travelling to Turkey, so she could fly to Izmir or Instanbul and then onward to Cyprus (but NOT into the Greek part of Cyprus)
