Visa For Common Lw Partner

[quickly]

Hi

I'm English and currently in the country alternating between 30 day visas on arrival and tourist visas. My English girlfriend is also here, but has a full work permit.

I've just heard that I can apply for a 12 month non-B visa on the basis that I am her common law husband.

Can any one give me any more info on this? Much appreciated.

She would need to be here on a one year extension of stay (work permit does not mean an extension of stay) and you have proof of marriage (if UK Embassy issues such proof it might be accepted but there is no common law in Thailand).

(3) In case of the marriage couple,

the parties required to have both

practical and legal relationship

Lopburi, just curious; I was reading through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Non-Immigrant "B" Visa information link http://www.mfa.go.th/web/2482.php?id=2492 and in the Additional Information section it states that:

3.2 Applicant's family members (i.e., spouse, parents and children who are

unmarried and under 20 years old) are eligible to apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa (category "O") and will be allowed to stay for a period of 90 days but no longer than 1 year.

Could this still be applicable?

I do understand however, that since the OP will not be recognised as legally married, then he could not use this method anyway.
