  1. gburns57au,

    so what your saying is for the tourist visa i dont require a visit to the JP?

    so just a stat dec and thats it correct?

    i've with vodafone prepaid, been trying to load my 'call history' page but it aint loading....... will keep trying.

    thanks for all the replies, i think we will put the application in in mid dec, as she plans to visit on the 9th of March

  2. so even if she only has 20,000 THB in her account its still worth photostating her bank book correct? okay no worries i will get her to do that.

    MM, the only thing i'm worry about it buying a ticket now, then applying for a visa closer to the date and having it rejected.

    is there any problem with applying for the visit now? then we can book and pay for a flight knowing that the trip is going ahead.

    as for the licence thing, well my parents house is still my primary residence, so i wont be changing it. i spend about the same amount of time at both addresses (about a 10minute drive apart)

  3. Hi guys,

    I've read most of the TS threads but still have a few questions which i'm hoping yous can answer.

    I have invited my gf to come over in march for a holiday so she can see where

    and how i live before i make the move to thailand to live with her for 12months.

    She will be applying for the tourist visa in bangkok, i am in melbourne.

    I will provide the following documents and will be sponsoring her visa application:

    1. A stat dec letter stating how we met, about our relationship, about my visits to thailand

    and stating that i have invited her to australia for a holiday to see melbourne and to met

    my family and friends and that she will be staying at my address and that i will be financially

    supporting her during the entire duration of her stay and make sure she complies with all there

    terms of her visa.

    2. photocopy of notice of assessment (from tax office) photocopy of my bank

    statement ($5000 enough?), photocopy of contact notice (from reiv showing ownership

    of my apartment), photocopy of yarra water bill for apartment.

    3. photocopy of my passport and drivers licence

    She will provide the following:

    1. Letter from her employer stating name, position, salary and annual leave,

    signed by senior manager. Another letter written by your immediate boss

    stating that you will be on holiday for a 14 days period and will be back to work

    on a specific date in March.

    2. A letter staying how we met and about me inviting her to australia and financially supporting her.

    Documents to prove our relationship:

    1. an airasia receipt (from email) from Nov 2005 showing us flying together to Chiang Mai.

    (i might be able to find the credit card statement for this if its needed?)

    2. multiple photos of us, a few from the 3 trips since we met.

    3. receipts from the call cards i use to call her

    3. her phone bill showing sms/calls to my number (not sure if she can get this)

    should i provide the following:

    photocopies of my passport pages showing the entry/exist stamps of my

    visits to thailand to see her?

    have a covered enough to make a strong application?

    okay just a few questions..

    she will be coming over in march, can we apply for the visit now or is

    there some kind of time limit of entry to australia after the visa is issued?

    my passport and drivers licences have my parents address on them, but she

    will be staying at my apartment which i'm currently living in (thus the water bill). is this okay?

    also does everything thats photocopied require a Justice of Peace to cert

    (eg passport, drivers, bills, bank statement, receipts)?

    i guess that just about covers everything... i just want to get this right first time..

    our age difference (23 me 29 her) shouldn't be a factor right?

    okay thanks guys.... i'm so excited about this and its still so many months away :o

  4. does anyone know what its called when you put the duck meat into the pancakes instead of making the duck into another dish???

    i tried explaining in to a thai friend, but Peking Duck was the only answer.

    are they called Duck Pancakes? and does anyone know a restaurant i can get them in BKK.

    thanks

  5. i had 7hrs work done on my arm last friday, i'm working on a half sleeve.

    the pain wasn't too bad, i could have lasted a lot longer but the artist hands had had enough. got another 5-7hrs before its done.

    go for it mate, you only live once!
