thanks really, but i am not a millionaire. i was asking about a good decent thai state school

Ok thankyou. Can anyone direct me to a decent thai staye school in pattaya. My 5 year old child speaks thai anyway and is used to thai villiage life in isaan

Ok. Looks like i will have to open another thread on obtaining irish naturalisation for my wife . And No cheap flights for her im afraid. Thanks

thanks, and yes this is getting a bit long and drawn out but it also gives others in our predicament the information they will need so the more info and advice on tv then surely it is a good thing ?

the reason she doesnt go for an irish visa is because it is not free ( i could be wrong ) it will take time to process , it is a lot of hassle for just one flight to and fro. i have asked wether she is entitled to irish naturalisation so maybe one of you could advise me on that ? also if my child had an irish passport then could mother travel with child ?

UPDATE

here is the latest mail i have recieved from INIS ( irish immigration )

Fw: advice for my wife to travel to bangkok via dublin - eea family member

Thank you for your enquiry.

I am directed by the Minister for Justice and Equality to refer to your
correspondence of 21/10/2014.

Non-nationals who are family members of a European Union citizen and
holders of a document called “Residence card of a family member of a Union
citizen” as referred to in Article 10 of Directive 2004/38/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004, are not subject to
an Irish visa requirement.

Please contact the issuing authority for advice/guidance as to whether the
document/card your wife has comes within the definition of the Directive,
as implemented by that particular Member State.

Kind regards,

Mail-In Query

just one more question , since wife wants to travel via dublin reason being it is allways a lot less expensive , then surely if i got my daughter an irish passport which she is quite entitled to have, then can mother ( thai national ) accompany daughter ( irish national ) on flight ?

just another angle to come from .

thanks

i am away at moment working though i am going to go ask my wifes friend how she was able to fly to bkk via dublin, wifes friend is in belfast / uk under exact same EEA permit as my wife but she has no PR in uk whereas my wife does have PR.

Your wife's friend will have a residence card for a family member issued in response to Article 10 of Directive 2004/38 whereas your wife has a permanent residence card issued in response to Article 20 thereof. As I've stated before, according to its own regulations, the Republic of Ireland accepts any residence card issued for a family member under Article 10 but only the permanent residence card it itself issues.

i also must state that when my wife was awarded PR in uk i remember getting papers from her lawyer from the www.lawcentreni.org to state since she now has PR then she is allowed freedom of movemnet witin the EU .

She has sort of freedom of movement within and to the Schengen states, but I think she would lose it instantly if you dropped dead. It seems that for Schengen, she needs to be accompanying or joining you. I'm not sure about Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and Cyprus.

yes but surely is my wife has a residence stamp in her passport for 5 years then applied for permanent residence and was awarded permanent residence then she would be in a far better position to travel then her friend who only has a " 5 year residence stamp and no PR " ? plus i will say again i am accompanying her when travelling. i know for a fact her friend went alone with her 2 babies while travelling to bkk via dublin her husband did not go with her.

i agree with a few of the above replies, when i got this email yesterday i didnt really understand what they were saying , they would not commit themselves to state clearly if wife could travel or not via dublin to bkk so covering themselves to give a pasted answer from their visa info page.

surely someone there could of given clear answer on her status ? i am away at moment working though i am going to go ask my wifes friend how she was able to fly to bkk via dublin, wifes friend is in belfast / uk under exact same EEA permit as my wife but she has no PR in uk whereas my wife does have PR. ( wifes friend was not required to apply for visa and has flown from dublin - bkk numerous times )

i also must state that when my wife was awarded PR in uk i remember getting papers from her lawyer from the www.lawcentreni.org to state since she now has PR then she is allowed freedom of movemnet witin the EU . i will go home next week and look up these documents and give an update.

I got email today from inis. My wife needs to apply for visa to travel in shengen zone.

I am working away from home atm but i will send a picture of wifes residence document asap

My nationality is dual british/irish. I will accompany wife thai national.

So. The airline would more than likely refuse her ? So as not to take risk of being fined ?

Are thai state schools ok for a 5 year old girl. She is both thai and farang. She has spent 3 years in uk school.

myself and wife are only tinkering with an option of moving to thailand . wife is thai, we have 5 year old daughter. we want to know where there is a decent primary school in pattaya , i cannot afford an expensive school nor do i want to put her into a thai state school as i have heard the standard of teaching and care is horrendous though someone correct me if this is false or not . does anyone have advise for me please plus costs.

Hi

She is my wife. She is underr eea. She has got permanent residence stamp which is valid untill 2023. She is residing in belfast/uk. She wants to fly from dublin eire. She does not want to pay for tickets for her and child only to be turned away from flight.

where in patts can you get a decent place long term, dont care if it dark side or not. for 3-4 month stay. maybe around 5000 - 7k per month. is there anywhere with pool ?

thai woman in uk is on an EEA permit residing obviously in uk ( belfast ) she has 10 year permanent residence. she wishes to fly from dublin ( eire ) to bkk.

i called law centre uk on her behalf to see if she was allowed out of northern ireland / uk to fly from dublin to bangkok law centre told me that she would need a schengen visa to enter ireland. ok fair enough

then i have been talking to one of her friends who is on exactly same visa as her eea permit with permanent residence in uk. her friend has flown 3 times from dublin to bangkok in past year.

my wife does not want to risk buying a ticket for her and children to fly from dublin only to be told by the airline that she cannot fly.

can someone advise please.

stress ? did " mai pen rai " dissapear overnight . yea only money could do that to a thai. i cannot say my heart bleeds for them, didnt thais know we farang suffer great stress at double prices we have to pay to them ?

you mean to tell me that there were no " real " police officers saw this ? i cannot drive up nermpubwan any hour of the day without seeing a cop.
