Ive never heard of one. Maybe in the muslim communities sure. but that is a different... issue. As for farangs marrying a Thai for a visa, ive literally never heard of that. Especially with the DTV visa now, why would you go through the headache of a fake marriage and marriage visa?
Cris ******
Ya.... i honestly dont understand it. It would not be very easy to fake a marriage. With the amount of paperwork and stuff, that alone is not worth a "fake marriage" haha. But ya i agree, out of all the visas even the Business Visas, i think the marriage visa is probably the least abused, ive actually never heard of someone having a fake marriage haha. I mean why dont retirement visas have home visits? Or DTVs verify you are doing muay thai or something

ok. I keep getting conflicting information. That "just in case" I should keep the money in the account. But im using it for our build etc. But everyone else says once you get your under consideration stamp. Your fine.

@Scotty ******
so just curious. When you went back in for your final.stamp did they make you do proof of funds again??

@Paul *******
that actually makes perfect sense. Because we were told we may not even get a visit. And my next extension, depending on the date we might not get one either.

@Scotty ******
