Hi Tchk,

Thanks for your advices about weather and need clothes. I think I have them all on hands now. What I just abit worried is how could I pack all things on luggage to comply with the limitation of allowed weights that TG has offered.

Well note with thank about work situation up there. My fiancee lives in french part actually. As I could not get ticket to Geneva Airport because of fully booked so I 've taken ticket to Zurich instead. Once I am there, I have to learn hard on French language in the beginning period so that I could communicate his family & local people. Even I used to take few courses in BKK, I hardly use in BKK so it is not much improved. It might take some yrs to be able to communicate with local people there. After that my chance for working might be more open, I guess & hope.

About hospitality, I understood what you told me . My fiancee have told me several times how hard to live and to deal with people there. He used to tell me how his friends said when he told them that he would come to TH (his 1st trip was in yr 2000) . His friends didn't believe when he told them that he wanted to just travel around and see how nice people were, how beautiful the beach was and many more positive issues . However, his friends just smiled and made strange face.What did they had in their heads, you could guess? . So what we ( I and my fiancee) believe is same as yours " Strength ". My fiancee suggested me to be clam & be strong, things will be better when I and other people get to know among other more.

Thanks for your advices& tips to deal with this tough situation. I hope I could cope this tough situation somehow.

regards,

Ps: I am now in Chiang Rai (CR), visiting & staying with my parents before leaving TH next week. Even I moved to live & study in BKK since I was young (I come to visit them as often as I could while I am in BKK), it is not easy still for (old) parents to let youngest daughter stay far away that 's what they told me. Hurr I could understand them. I still remembered that I felt homesick when I was out for working reasons, and my parents were very happy when they knew that I was back TH. Even those visits were only short stay ( 1-2 wks max). This time will be much different. So, I will also miss parents' complaints, their laughs, their concerns etc. This must be one more problem that I will have there.??? Anyway, I have promised them that I will contact them as often as possible even I 'll be far away.

Sorry PS is too long & kind of girl story , please don't get bored

Dear K. Axel,

Really thanks for your kind explanation and information. I have well noted those information and also steps that I need to go through in Swiss. Also, I forwarded your information to my fiancee for reference.

Yes, your guess was right. I will go to Swiss ( Zurich) alone. It was my first time to go abroad alone. Even I used to go to other european countries before, those times I went with my exboss and those visits were for business purposes. This time to Swiss makes me quite worried and abit nervious I don't know how to explain either . Your information makes me feel better Khob khun mak mak ka.

I was very appreciated for your help& advice indeed. Thanks again for your kindness & all of useful information.

Wish you best luck,

Ps: I have got confirmed ticket ( open return date) just today..

Dear Axel,

Really thanks for your details and very useful information. I have well noted all..

One more question, immigration will ask me about working in SWISS?? My fiancee will be interviewed also ? He will be with me while the immigration officer asks me questions???.just curioused. My fiancee said if I would like to work maybe I could find job there. I finished BBA from international university in BKK. If so, I have to ask for work permit or not.

Thanks again for your kind advices.

Dear Lopburi3,

Thanks so much for your prompt reply & useful information.

1. Well noted with thanks. So I can buy air ticket then..

2 & 3 Papers & necessary documents: During the process of asking for this visa ( about 2-3 months back), I sent all required papers to embassy. Finally he got them from his side to proceed.That's reason I have got visa. If he didn't do about visa process in his side, I wouldn't get the visa. It took his time to go contact several offices there.. He told me that there are no further required for papers. We just need to go to contact office there to make our marriage legally...

About our relationship, i know & think that he is serious about marrying to me. As I have been in touched with him several yrs before deciding to get married. Better to say, I have trusted in his words. Even we sometimes have little arguments , perhaps because of culture difference & distance. I do love him as well as he does. That's what we believe now.

However, certainty is uncertainty. I keep that in my mind. Some couples got breakup even they had been together more than 10 yrs... So I can't predict my future though. I just really hope that this will not happend to ours.

regards,

zozo

Dear All,

Maybe you all used to get this kind of experience, so please let me know your suggestions.

I have just got passport with Marriage Visa back from travel agency . I asked for this kind of visa and it took about 2 months to get approved. It is the Visa to Switzerland.

I would like to ask some information, relating to the Ait Ticket. As the embassy didn't require to show air ticket while the agent went to pick up the passport. I called to check with Embassy, the officer said ticket didn't need as the visa is Single Entry and duration of stay is leave blank ( /// ). I tried to ask some more questions, however, she seemed to be busy and tried to stop conversation on phone. This seems to happend even I had a face talk with them. I don't really understand.

Pls take a look on following details; they are being stated on this visa .

Valid from 15 Dec 03 until 10 Mar 04. <I have amended date >

No of Entry :1

Type of Visa : Ordinaire

Duration of Stay : ///

Sorry there are too many details I have written above. I hope that all I wrote above is related to ticket matter & visa matter.

1. As I will buy round trip ticket, please advise do I need to specify return date. Can I open date of return to BKK ( so ticket will show only departure date)? Will I have the problem when enter to Swiss side?

2. Suppose I enter to Swiss, what shall I do next? My future husband said we have to get married then we would know next step. He said he never gets married before, so he said he didn't know either.. He said we would go check together there when I'll be with him there .. However, I would like to know roughly process there before leaving TH. Can anyone tell me something about that?

3. As my visa is SINGLE entry ; if I want to go back to BKK, I need to ask for Visa at BKK again to re-enter SWISS ( I am afraid of time consuming anyway)???? Can I ask for visa extension at Swiss before returning to BKK? My furture husband said it might be easier to get visa extension in Swiss than Bkk side. However, he just guessed! I want more firm information.

Your information would be highly appreciated. Please kindly advise.

thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice from Khun Dr. Pat & Khun KevinN,

Regarding to Foreign Affairs people in Switzerland, I will ask my BF to cross check. However, I also got information aboutwhat papers are required from Embassy in BKK, so I could prepare all of them now.

The reason why I would like to ask for Marriage Visa is to go to Swiss. This advice I have got from the Swiss officers at the embassy in BKK... Then, he and I have done in what she told us to prepare the paper lists...

What I asked previously are my curiosity to know how visa will be proceed next after I present all papers to embassy. What he & I should prepare for next step .... Sorry for any confusion, my questions were not so clear

I searched information about the lead time to get this type is about 8 weeks atleast. However, some said it took more than that ; 1 yr maybe!!!!.. Is that truth? If so, I must need to apply for new job cause i just resigned few months ago.

One more question, if I don't have job right now. This will effect to the result? ...

sorry to ask too many questions.. However, please kindly advise .

regards,

zozo

Dear All,

I am new to this forum, but I have read through almost all topics regarding to visa . However, it seems noone wantes some information same mine.

Please kindly advise if you have any suggestion.

I am going to ask marriage visa from Swiss embassy in BKK . I am THAI girl, and nationality of my boyfriend is  SWISS .He is now in Swiss. I got all of required papers from him right now ( We did check what papers needed from Swiss Embassy in BKK). However, I could not present papers to Embassy right now due to I have been waiting for my papers which are still in process of translation  from THAI to FRENCH. Of course, I asked AGENCY to provide papers  & this service for me. However, they seem to be familiar with making just tourist visa,not marriage visa. I don't want to change agency cause that will make me pay more to a new one possibly.

What I need to know is may  anyone know how to ease the procedure of asking this typeof visa. What I need to prepare  for interview? I guess maybe I need to write down some note about relationship,  don't I? How's about Swiss side, my boyfriend  need to do or be asked any thing?

Awaiting for some help. Thanks for all in advance.

regards,

zozo
