beechguy Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I wouldn't get married for visa purposes, but why not consider a visa based on education, employment, or starting your own business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildoates Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Why would anyone think it would be better to marry for a Visa. You don't think that it would cost you much more to try and do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieter1 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 if you have unlimited source of money and unlimited source of energy and you have no idea of what to do with these resources - go ahead and marry a Thai lady !

ShopBoy Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) If you love her truly by all means do marry her and get a marriage visa. Edited September 17, 2011 by ShopBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) DONT DO IT !!!!!!! why would you need to go back to Europe, you can get visa's in neighboring countries. Get and ED visa or something else but dont for God sake marry just for paperwork. make other arrangements until you are 50 then get a retirement visa. And remember that no matter what you get, you will have to report every 90 days (even if by post in some cases).

poanoi Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I take it you are not particularly committed to any girl, so you should absolutely consider Sihanoukville or Phnom Penh, Cambodia. There you just pay i think it is US $260 and they won't disturb you for a year. I'm considering it in spite of having a long relation with a good girl. I am also totally fed up with the uncertainty of staying here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colabamumbai Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 If you can find a lady who is not interested in money and or gold only a true heart then maybe, but otherwise I would have to say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpinx Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) You marry a Thai lady for a visa and she will want a condo, and a new wardrobe of clothes (not from the market), and a car, and lots of real gold jewellery, and support for her 3 kids that she didn't tell you about before she got married to you, and support for her mum and dad and sisters and aunties and uncles and "cousins" - one or more of whom will be her boyfriend " everyyear I spend 30-40'000 bats to go back to europe and all this money spent in TR visa, would be better to give it to a thai lady instead." is a joke if you're trying to maintain a thai girl -- unless you mean per month?

a99az Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) everyyear I spend 30-40'000 bats to go back to europe and all this money spent in TR visa If you are so clueless that you spend that much every year on going all the way back to Europe for a visa, you really are not smart enough to deal with marriage to a Thai You might be right, but a bit hard on the poor guy. This is going off subject a bit but, my wife, and I where returning to Thailand with our two children, one of which was born in Spain a few weeks before. We flew via Geneva and had a few hours to wait for our onward flight to Thailand so we went into town for some food. When we returned to the airport, we showed our passports and tickets to Thailand to a Swiss immigration man. He said the baby must have a visa in her new Thai passport, and he would not let us pass through to take our flight. So I told him she has never been to Thailand and was born in Spain just a couple of weeks back and that her passport was issued in Spain. I popped said "fuc_kit" then if you don't want us to return to Thailand at our own expense you better sort out a hotel for the whole family, then deport us back at your expense. By now the people in the Q behind us could see the utter stupidity of this and started to heckle the guy. He caved under the pressure and let us pass. cooko Edited September 18, 2011 by a99az Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Thai gal marrying a non Thai is considered "Un-Thai" to the Thai country folk and absolutly beneath their caste amongst urban and HiSo Thais. So, if she is going to demean herself and her family, taking this step, the very least that will happen will be an accumulation of material items that can be (noticed) , and, family members taken care of, so, Thai gal can save face. This is non negotiable. Your reluctance to include a bar girl in your equation is where your math goes astray. At least with a bar girl you can negotiate a contract and lock in your cost of permission to stay in the Kingdom. Too many variables to answer "worth it to get mrried for visa".

jonnog Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Worth getting married for the visa? Hell, no. I got divorced to my ex-wife (who is Thai) six years ago. Been living with a new girl for past three years. (Neither ex-wife nor girlfriend were bar girls.) I love my new girlfriend to bits but there's no way I would get married again without a lot of assurances that I wouldn't be shafted. I know I am speaking from a pained experience and therefore it is tainted - but it is worth remembering: You have no rights as a farang husband. Nothing.

Um...I might beg to differ..my wife is not HiSo or anywhere near it! Educated yes, has lived in the UK, gets on well with everybody and is quite bright. We have a number of HiSo friends, old money and have had several holidays with them. All, without fail are so pleasent..a please come to stay with us anytime attitude, they visit us etc. She is well thought of in our village and her opinions listened to by all. Get yourself a good woman and marry her...this 'what was your name again' gets boring after a while..........and when you find a really good woman...your visa problems are sorted............
