@Andreas ********

- i did that

I arrived on a 30 day exemption (not visa on arrival) and converted to Non O thai wife

Maybe u know better but that is what i did

U need to apply for a change of visa

U need to miss ireland out .. get the UK visa and transfer thru london … UK visa is no good in dublin unless travelling from UK on the short stay waiver program

@Wi**

- i checked with immigration and my visa is not subject to 90 day report … it is very confusing .. i get my 1 year next week

Going to be a challenge getting your Mrs a 6 month visa . She needs to prove there is intent to return to thailand and a reason . Ie a job

Applying for leave to enter which is path to permanent move would alternative but very expensive and not at all easy .. i assume she has not travelled much . Immigration want to see a busy passport .. an agent may be able to secure visa but not easy

and book appointment online - speeds up process

@Ar**

- u prove relationship with photos of history together . Good to have xmas or significant events together … shared address is also good -

If officer did not pick up on your regular visits without a visa previously u wil be ok . First time they pick up on this it will be a warning to get a visa next trip .. i had this and i know of similar other cases… there is no written rule of number of non visa entries - it is at officer discretion

@Tulip *******

- medical insurance required for Non O-A but not for Non O retirement

@Ian ****

- being taken over by UOB now .. my account still says citi but it is changing.. they been very good bank for me
