soi3eddie Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Elite visa (or whatever it's called today) for her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip9 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 If you were married, she could could get a Non O visa based on being your dependent. But since she is only your gf, that is not an option. Her other possible options are the very expensive elite visa, or to study Thai and get an Education Visa.

NicoBKK Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Many Pinoys which I know in Thailand are here on tourist visa and do extensions plus the visa runs - no longer sustainable but in the meantime can see how things works with you and about possible marriage - if ED visa prove to be difficult to get.

I do not intend to live the Philippines hence my original post. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
