@Kevin *******

problem is, since BREXIT, it takes a very long time now to issue an Irish passport to a new applicant, and the documentary requirements are very strict. I believe you would need your Grandma's birth certificate and your parent on your Grandma's side also

If she was Irish then you would qualify for an Irish passport and your Thai wife would only pay THB400 for her tourist visa

Jesus, that's a bit rich. My wife's Irish visa also cost only THB400 as I am Irish.

Took six weeks for my wife's Irish visa to be approved, which is about 2 weeks longer than usual, but then the visa has been approved as multiple entry, valid until December 2025!!! Fantastic!! She then got her Shengen visa approved in 3 working days, also amazing!!

Good luck...let us know how it goes!

It seems you are capable only of insulting people and incapable of reasoned debate. You are not by any chance related to Donald Trump, are you? It must be an angry, sad place in your little world of insecurity.

Before Covid I was flying 200,000 miles a year, and getting great value from my Thailand Elite membership, as I live here, have done for 13 years.....the visa entitles me to stay in Thailand for 12 months at a time if I so choose. Other visas that required extensions did not suit me, so I am extremely happy with my investment, and I don't care one jot for your derisory comments. Value for money is relevant to how much of it one has, my dear.

My EPA told me they are inundated with applications from China, Hong Kong and India right now. I would say it is an expensive, high risk investment if you are considering it just as a way to gan entry to Thailand under the current restrictions

I have been a member for three years and they have lived up to every promise they made to me. I find the service exceptional, especially the meet 'n greet at the airport, fast Track immigration, free BMW transfers to and from my home, and the free golf....worth every penny I paid. I did my first 90-day report in 13 years living here, last week, and they met me at the new Immigration building at Impact, escorted me to the Thailand Elite Fast Track desk at Immigration, and skipped the long line...in and out in 5 minutes...worth every penny.

That's the way I read it also...I am on Thailand Elite so have two more years before I have to do it again, assuming I don't move to a new location in that time...happy days
