Im sure there have been other categories of multiple entry visas with dependents and none have required that the whole family extend together for any to be eligible. It sounds like they just made up their own rule. Hopefully this doesn’t catch on at other locations.

@Kaitlyn ********

could you tell use how much it costs to bring your dog to thailand? Im curious about this now

@Mickey ************************

just out of curiosity for informational purposes, could you tell us what was the process your friend went through to get that blacklisting removed? If its not something that should be repeated in public then no need to reply, I completely understand

“Company registration”. They might be asking for the details of the muay thai gym you are signing up for to make sure its legit .

How old are your kids? Isn’t there a rule that says 15 and under are not subject to visa enforcement rules so they can stay as long as they want in thailand without a proper visa?

The official translator will know how to do step 3 and will tell u how to get an appointment with MFA if you don’t know

1. you will need a certified copy of your passport and marriage license from the US embassy. Meaning they make a photocopy. Put their embossed stamp on it and you have to pay $50USD per page. You need an appointment it takes months in advance. 2. Then take that to get a translation from a certified translator. 3. Then you will take your official translation to Ministry of Foreign Affairs (requires an appointment, usually weeks in advance) for them to stamp it and legalize it (the term may be something else instead of “legalize”). They will always find some small error or punctuation they don’t like so expect to have to take it back to the translator to get it fixed and return. 4. Once you get the MFA approved paperwork back then you should be able to go to any city hall (amphur) to register your marriage. Talk to your wife’s local amphur first to ask what exactly do they want. Some want the official copy and translation of your passport some don’t. If you don’t know then just get it to be safe.

Like all visas, You only have to show your credentials again if you are trying to do an extension of stay, Just leave the country and come back its so much easier, the most they will ask you in reentry is if your address is still the same , i suggest take a weekend in vietnam

@Raymond *******

if you cant afford to lose this money, if you are doing this because you feel pressured that they will stop loving you if you do not provide and fund this venture i would say cut your losses from now and do not proceed. Having legal contracts only means something if you can afford a lawyer to enforce it. If this was a good business venture as in your partner was a skilled expert in this field then you would not have had the doubt to even question if this is a good idea. Your instincts are telling you its a waste of money and a bad business idea. So make the appropriate business decision to say no. You aren’t an angel investor and that’s not your duty in a romantic relationship

1. What is the business you two are planning on starting? 2. How much money do you have to give and how much money if any will s/he put in the business? 3. Can you afford to lose all this money? 4. Does your partner have any experience or success in running this kind of business? 5. Will your partner end their relationship with you if you choose not to give money? 6. If your partner chooses not to share the profits or takes your money and embezzles it for other purposes are you willing to end the relationship to get your money back? 7. Can you emotionally and financially afford it if your partner immediately ends the relationship after you hand over the money?
