Not 100% on this but I think she might need Australian citizenship to recieve any type of pension. Marrying an Australian does not automatically give Australian citizenship.

@Greta ****

it's clearly an American women doing what ever she wants and doesn't give a shit about the rules, then pulls the old (oh silly me I didn't realise) 🙄

@Maksym **********

when entering thailand that entry stamp also has the date you must leave by, but as we know you get 60 days visa exempt so it's not hard to plan your trip, this american women is clearly playing dumb, but this is thailand and stupid tricks or excuses don't work.

Without offending you, how the hell did you manage to stay 7 days over without realising it? Doesn't matter what country you visit you should familiarise yourself with the procedures and penalties of that country, rather than break there rules than ask the question.

You don't have to show them anything, when you arrive simply hand over your passport and he will stamp it, with the arrival date and your departure date, not sure why everyone is talking about a departure ticket or even where your accommodation is, the accommodation question was on the old arrival cards but they haven't worried about that for years,,in 17 years never been asked for the return ticket. Basically it's a give me when you arrive , nothing to stress about

You will get 60 days visa exemptions and when your about 45 days in go to thai immigration and apply for addional 30 days or jump the border into Loas, Myanmar, Cambodia or even Singapore than come straight back and get an addional 60 days on entry again.

@Joe *******

if she has children or been married previously,, it's a no deal, and is not expect ,, if it is expected,,,, its a Con.

What's the reason you can't leave your partners side, your post says it your relative in the US is the one that is sick. A little bit confused by your post. Because you also state you can't Travel. Don't mean to offend you But it sounds like a lot of excuses to get your partner to the US one way or another.

I don't think an insurance company would include all of this in a policy, probably take a death policy for X amount of money than put it in a will or stipulate it to your family that the money from that particular policy is for this purpose. But yeah expecting the insurance company to sort it all out, I think is highly unlikely.

You should familiarise yourself with how things work in thailand, before you dig a big hole for yourself, I would strongly suggest renting for a year or so,and learn what you are and aren't entitled to, before committing your hard earned money to anything, and that the marriage is going to work. Im not being negative, It's just friendly advise, I hope it all goes well for you.
