The Visa process or the marrying part??

@Tod ********

Thanks....Looking like the best advice so far

I'd much rather be straight.....I work US Government and would think credibility would account for something

@Wylie ******

Yes. I might have her omit the parts that red flag overstay's

LOL! Heads on swivels that night....

Yep. I just spent a month in Thailand. She picked me up at the airport and dropped me off at the airport. She had enough English to make it work and she really increased her language capacity but as you said, when we got around her family it was all Thai language and I couldn't keep up. She would stop and include me the best she could but played out the way you said. I am giving her my loyalty unless something changes. She never asked me for a dime and I forced her to take $10,000 on the last day.

Why do you stress away from her family? I think I know what you gonna say...just want your take?

Thai Pass rules change like the weather. On when I arrived in Phuket I had to have prearrange prepaid RT-PCR Test and SHA-Plus Hotel reservation for the 1st night which you were ushered off by the taxi right after swab. The hotel will be emailed your result so you know when you are free to roam. Google Thai Pass and it gives the list of eveything you need to do. Have it all in a folder because every airport enroute will ask you for all requirements "when" they see your destination is Thailand.

Yes. In advance. They were waiting for me after my RT-PCR test at the airport. Was well organized.

I'll be back the minute my job approves the leave!!
