"Key Visa" - are these guys any good these days with Australian tourist visas? Apparently the main guy Darren who started this company isn't around anymore. Is the company still English owned and managed, as their website currently states:https://www.keyvisathailand.com/services/visa-refusals/

 

"An English owned and managed company with bilingual English / Thai staff who will help your Thai partner through the entire process with no hassle and full support from the beginning of the process right up until you receive your visa"

 

Think Darren was the backstay of that operation.

Passed now.

OP: "Key Visa" - are these guys any good these days with Australian tourist visas? 

 

I read OP as he's looking for an Australian tourist visa for a Thai? Responses so far seem to be about getting a Thailand visa? 

 

Don't post gossip, Key Visa BUSINESS will not like you posting gossip..????

 

OP, used Key Visa a couple of times with no problem, last time I spoke to them, they told me they will crack on with the business....

It’s hit and miss wherever you go as people respond to each person differently.

 

Only way to tell is to walk in and ask a few questions and let you guy decide if you trust the person or not.

Defamatory remark removed.

 

A number of people on this forum including Moderators have used the services of this company with good results.

 

I used them about four years ago to renew my British passport and they were great, no problems whatsoever.

I have used them with no issues.

In the past, they have been well regarded. Recently, following the death of the original owner, reports have been mixed.

Age and length of relationship.

 

There is a previous thread re same question (also lao gf) 

Will post it tomorrow. 

 

I first did this 10 years ago for Thai partner.

I didn't use agent.

 

Are you located in Pattaya?.

You require an agent. 

 

 

Used Key to renew my UK Passport. Returned to me this month. 7 week turn-round. Excellent service.

 

Can't remark, first hand, on the visa situations.

Opinions are allowed to be posed a requested by the OP, though.  The company had lots of good reports prior to Darren's death and good experiences or bad experiences are just that, experiences, not gossip.

We are both in our mid to late 30's with an age-gap of just over 5 years between us. Relationship approximately 1 year together.

 

Yes, we are located in Pattaya.

So you posted a thread to get Lao Gf an Aussie visa and thread was moved to the correct forum of other country visa's, so now you start another similar thread in Thai visa forum to get your Lao Gf visa to Australia?

This thread is about people's experiences with "Key Visa" and if they are any good with doing Australian visas now that the original foreign owner has passed.

Couple of positives is that your gf not 20 also one year relationship.

 

It is possible for Loa to obtain visa for Oz while in Thailand.

For sure you will need an agent.

 

Thinking best for you to do personal visits to the many good agents in Pattaya. 

 

Also you being in 30,s you need to demonstrate ability to support her stay.

Not only that (in my case 10yr back) you need to wack some money in a her Thai bank account, which I think you posted that she does not have.

 

If I was looking at application would be a reject.

"No compelling reason to Return" to Thailand.
