Tourist Visa For Thai Wife

[Lenny2007]

Hi boys,

who can help me to resolve this my problem?

I want to obtain a entry visa in Italy for my thai wife.

After the wedding (in Thailand), now I would want to make to enter my wife in Italy. I have felt to say that in order to obtain an visa marriage for my wife I must exhibit an income statement, the problem is that the company where I job has not made me an regular contract of work, therefore I cannot exhibit no income statement...

But, through my bank, I can guarantee an economic cover for my wife for a month if for example, she comes to visit me in Italy...

Therefore, I can make enter my wife in Italy using this system (tourist visa)?

Thanks.

Lenny

I am no specialist in Italian immigration law, but under the Schengen rules she may visit for up to 90 days in any 180. I stand to be corrected, but I don't think you'll be able to change her status from tourist to residence through marriage. However, if you are of another European nationality other than Italian, you might be able to apply for your wife to stay under European law rather than Italian law.
