nelly1977 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi me and my girlfriend are currently preparing the tourist visa application,got together all the most important documents that seem to be what they are looking for,one major issue is that my girlfriend resigned from work a while back and is currently looking for new employment, so she cannot get any letter from her boss etc etc.should this be a problem? any ideas? someone told me she should just say that she lives and takes care of her mum at home. Thanks Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfinger Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 taking care of her mum is not exactly the reason to go back to thailand at the end of the visa..... she owns land, has children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Conversely, the very fact that she is between jobs is a perfect time to go abroad and an argument could be constructed on that basis. If the guy were paying for everything, then her rather limited salary would hardly be the great incentive to go back in the first place. As you cannot hide the fact that she does not work (you don't have a substitute employer to help out), then I'd go with the regular ties which are unchanged by this period of unemployment and use the time between now and some future event (birthday, anniversary etc.) to go to the UK. It is also summer in the UK which is another reason why you wish to go now. The other factors will be more important. I could write her a slip which states she works for me but so could anyone with an address, a telephone and a modicum of intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdawson Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I could write her a slip which states she works for me yes , lying to government decision makers is usually the best way to go (NOT!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfukata Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 compelling factors that the applicant will return to Thailand are what the (western embassies) are looking at. 1) employment, present or past (must have records and pay stub, tax documents) 2) house ownership will greatly help 3) relationship with family, relative, etc 4) ownership of legit business with income and tax records 5) education background and diploma if avail 6) income; bank statements 7) purpose of trip 8) previous travel? have passport where did you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocky Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 If you can sponsor her stay and produce evidence of monies to pay for her then it shouldn't be a problem as they are mostly worried how she will support herself providing you meet the rest of the criteria ie(evidence of relationsip etc).

ThaiVisaExpress Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I would ensure you hae plenty of contact etc as you will need to demonstrate to the ECO that you have a strong bond between you both. The fact she is unemployed is not a problem as long as you demonstrate the relationship is subsisting etc. Length of relationship ? Visits to Thailand ? Correspondence etc ? Travel history ? Visitors Visa see here. If you require any further help feel free to contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
