Follow these Instructions for your Wife to obtain a Visa for the UK.



Remember. There must be a reason for her to need to return to Thailand and you must clearly show that in the supporting letter. Whether she has children, owns Land or has a full time job. Marrying you is not enough.

With regards to your visa you can obtain a Multi Entry "Non Imm O" with an extension of Stay based on Marriage at Sawanaket, Lao, currently without any proof of funds. Show them the Marriage Certificate and supporting letter behind, Your Wifes House Book and ID Card and your Passport. If you can keep 400K Thai Baht in a Thai Bank Account for at least 2 Months prior to your application you can go to a local Immigration Office in the Province where you will live and apply for a Multi Entry Non Imm O Visa based on an Extention of Stay for marriage so you will not need to leave Thailand at all for a 12 Month period.

To get married in Thailand please follow this Website. If you have ever been married before please bring with you your original copy the Court issued you with of your Decree Absolute (Very Important).

Nothing is certain in Thailand at the moment as it's like Germany just before WWII.....So it's best to ensure you cover all basis and carry it on you like

Personally, as you are all Australian I would obtain METV's from The Thai Embassy there. You can make them work for 9 Months if you work them right then you could go to an adjoining Country after and apply for Tourist Visa's for the remainder of the time you are there. I would also ask your Embassy and give them the scenario as they maybe able to offer a better solution.

All of your Family born in the same Country with EU Passports ?

I still disagree

@Rob***

, Sorry

The Ministry of Labour is a Government Department. Immigration is not. Its one of many facets reporting to the head of the Royal Thai Police. The Government Department is a higher authority and we should listen to that. If there is an issue we can always instruct a Lawyer.

Absolutely.....If there was clear un-ambiguous Legislation/Directives I would agree with you and offer that advice too.....However, their isn't, so I don't I'm afraid.

I think it is just ambiguous

@Rob***

and open to personal interpretation.

@Robert ******

.....It just depends on your personal interpretation. However, I feel this article has just been written to capitalise on Political advantages to be honest. As I said......

"Unfortunatly the issue here is, is with all Laws in Thailand. Legislative Drafters write the Law to encompass Ambiguity so that you can move around within the Legislation and the Judge can interpret it how he sees fit".
