bbi1 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 "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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Think Darren was the backstay of that operation. Passed now. Try Maneerat Soi 13/2 (Soi post office) Edited August 30, 2023 by DrJack54 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

JimTripper Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Relationship approximately 1 year together. Yes, we are located in Pattaya. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
