I have tried to see when it is possible to make an appointment. The Consular system does not show any availability of appointments.

What is the situation with getting Attestation to Marriage and Passport notorised in the current Corvid situation?

This doesnot guarantee entry to the said country 

My partner was refused entry to South Korea even though no visa is required.

First of all, you don't apply for any type of visa, your girlfriend is the applicant and it's she that needs to apply for a visa.

 

You've only told us half the story, does your girlfriend want to apply for Settlement in the UK after your marriage?

 

If you and your girlfriend marry in Thailand and she wishes to apply for Settlement in the UK, far the most straightforward, you marry here and then she applies for a Settlement Visa. The application fee is $2063, about 68,000 Baht, there is a NHS Surcharge on top of the application fee, the initial cost of this is £600, though that is set to double. As her sponsor, it has to be the partner nobody else, you have to meet the minimun income requirements, currently £18,600, she has to pass an English language test and provide evidence that she's clear of TB.

After 30 months she would need to apply for further leave to remain, this attracts similar fees.

Any agents fees would be on top of this.

 

If you both wish to marry in the UK, then she either needs a Fiancée Visa or a Standard Visit Visa, the Fiancée Visa can be converted to allow her to remain in the UK, with similar fees, whilst on a Standard Visit Visa she would need to return to Thailand to apply for Settlement.

We want to marry in the UK and both then return to our home in Thailand. Neither of us want to live in England.

I have had advice from a number of 'Visa Agencies' on the type of visa I should apply for to take my Thai lady to the UK to marry her.

Reading the UK Gov website it reads that I need to apply for a Marriage Visitors Visa and that myself, friends or family can sponsor the visit.

....................................................................................................................................................................

I have been told (all with a 25000+ bhat agency fee for arranging).....................

I need a Fiancee Visa and that only I can sponsor her.  

I only need a Visitor Visa and anyone can sponsor her.

The UK no longer issues visas to marry in UK and we must marry in Thailand first.

I am very confused now can someone shed some light on the subject please.

I fear they will start burning books and move all the legitimate falangs into Communal Areas soon, a project that was used in Germany in the 1930s.  If a van comes to take you in for questioning Check where the exhaust pipe is connected to !!!! 

What about going to Cambodia or Vietnam  any good options for TV there?

Apologies to the OP if a bit off-topic (I didnt think my inquiry required a new thread)

   What does Vientiane regard as consecutive visas ?

I've had :

  Tourist visa from Vientiane

   Tourist visa from Vientiane

   Visa exempt

   Tourist visa from Vientiane

   Visa Exempt

    Tourist visa from Savankhet

   Visa exempt .

Would I risk a red stamp going back to Vientiane for a new TV ?

 

    

1 st Tourist Visa  Vientiane

2nd Tourist Visa Vientiane

3rd Tourist Visa Vientiane

4th Visa on Entry from Laos

5th Tourist Visa with Red Stamp equivalent.

I think maybe you risk a red stamp ?

Out of curiosity, OP: How many previous tourist visa did you get from Vientiane, in the same passport?

This one is the 4th

Although not actually in red, that comment is equivalent to what is commonly referred to as the "red stamp". You will not get any further tourist visas from Vientiane (and some other consulates) until you replace your current passport. The reliable place to get further tourist visas is Savannakhet, but make sure you understand the requirements when you go to apply there.

You mention Requirements can you point me in the direction of some explanation of the requirements please

I have just returned from Laos (Vientiane Consulate) where I have got a tourist visa from. I do not have the 800k funds available at this time to apply for another type of visa.

I see there is now a Remarks stamp in my passport on the new visa ................................

" The holder of this passport travels to Thailand under a tourist visa several times which could result in the refusal of a visa in the future"

What are the implications of this remark and are there any other constructive suggestions or advice.

My daughter brought her dog to Thailand last year and she did not use a company she just added him as excess luggage, had all the paperwork in order and 2000 bhat in her pocket in case she got into any problems in BKK  quarantine. She was through the system in 20 minutes and out of the airport with him.   Message me and I will get her to walk you through the process.

We are going through the process of gathering all the information so we can apply for a Standard Tourist Visa for the UK.

However in the past my partner tried to visit her friend who lives in South Korea and was refused entry along with a lot of the other passengers on her flight.

I know we have to mention this but will it have a bad effect on her getting a UK visa?

I am having a nightmare getting the local Amphur to consider issuing a yellow book.

He just keeps saying I have to be married to the lady who's house I live in before i can get one.

I have no intention of marrying the lady as I already am married.

Are their any guidelines or process documents for Amphur that I can refer to, to try to move things forward.
