In exactly the same situation pm me for a chat.

My girl is on a 7.2mbps 3g air card from Tru and we have no problem using webcam or skype.

I bought it for her before she moved back home just in case internet was lacking in her villiage

but we decided to keep it for now.

It cost 2000thb for the adapter and its 1000 per month for unlimited use.

I also read somewhere that her rights to land etc are revoked once she marries a non national (is this true?)

No

Care to elaborate a bit please ?

She does not lose land ownership rights by marrying a non-Thai. Any land owned in her name before the marriage will be considered an asset that she bought into the marriage and therefore hers and hers alone in the case of marriage breakdown. If she acquires land after your marriage, you will be required to sign a statement acknowledging that the land is hers and hers alone and that you have no claim to it as a marital asset upon dissolution of marriage.

You do not acquire land ownership rights by virtue of marrying a Thai national. If you are planning to acquire land in her name but are concerned about its disposition should you split, then you might want to consider a usufruct- a binding legal mechanism whereby you acquire rights to occupy and enjoy the benefit of the land for the term of your natural life.

This sounds exactly what I am looking for.I am not looking for anything unfair or more than I deserve I just want to know that if I have a home that I wont be kicked out on my ass should my wife die before me or should we divorce. I have been bitten once before and I am not getting any younger.

Is it possible to build a house for us both to live in but with my funds as she does not have a lot of money and then get the usufruct on the property allowing it to be shared equally in a worst case scenario.

Also is a prenup watertight as long as its done correctly before the marriage.

Thanks

Hello to the Forum.

I am just gonna jump right in with this and hope someone can help.

Sorry if this is a bit of a thread hijack but the OP has similar questions.

I am in a similar situation and am getting conflicting stories from many different sources

I have been seeing my TGF for almost a year and want to bring her to Ireland permanently.

I was looking into the following

Visitor Visa

Study Visa

Work Visa

She has never been to Ireland so I assumed firstly she would have to get a visitor visa for a few months then go down the Fiancee visa route.

She has the offer of a full time job with my company but as I didn't think a work permit was an option for a first visit I have yet to ask if the company would supply one (chances are they would)

While I do want to marry her and we have discussed this we are both slow to rush into it as I have only come out of a bad divorce a few years ago. I do not want to rush into a marriage without knowing the full implications as to share of assets and possessions should we split up.

I also read somewhere that her rights to land etc are revoked once she marries a non national (is this true?)

As we intend to move back to Thailand in 5-8 years I also need to know the situation with me owning land/property and how this would be divided up should we split or is it impossible for me to own either and then should I get some sort of pre nup or property paperwork drawn up before I consider marriage as an option for the Visa?

I ave searched a lot of forums looking for info and as I said I keep getting different versions from different people so I would appreciate any and all help you would have. Please keep it to Irish details as UK etc is of no use to me unfortunately. It seems forums for Irish citizens are few and far between for this kind of info.

Thanks and best regards
