Well the first place to start would be by telling us what work you are qualified to do.

Another point would be some info about your girlfriends current employment/assets situation etc.

she needs a tourist visa. All you have to do (this is UK not Ireland so may be different) is prove its a genuine relationship, prove you are able to support her when on holiday, and prove she will return - letter from employee would help.

English teaching is your best bet for work unless you are qualified in any skilled shortage areas in Thailand.

The first step would be to go to Thaivisa.com and read up some on the subjects you asked about on the main pages I think ... then move on to the forums.

One of my wife's friends (Thai girl) just came back from a holidy in Ireland with her Irish boy friend. I think the visa was quite straight forward. Go to the Irish embassy and check out what you need to do - all quite do-able I would say, so don't worry.

There is no Irish embassy in Thailand, the one that is responsible for Thailand is in KL. There is an HONORARY CONSUL on Sathorn road (Q House 28th floor) but there powers are very limited and ultimatly KL is responsible for Irish citizens in Thailand.

Oh, sorry about that.

In that case I'll try to find out from my wife how her friend got her visa. She certainly didn't go to KL, I'm quite sure.

I'll post later today.

Ok, here's what you do.

You go to the honorary consul in Sathorn Road, (address above), get all the forms etc, fill them in and give them in there, and they then send them to the Irish embassy in KL.

Apparently it takes about one month, I'm afraid, but as I said before, the visa seems to be pretty straight forward to get, just takes a while.

Good luck..
