1year married to a Thai girl = residency?

[KarineKa]

Hello!

One of my friend has gotten involved with a Thai girl who has offered to marry him for 5000thb per month during 1year. He needs a visa and his workplace does not provide him with a work permit. She told him they could get divorced after a year, and that he would be able to keep his Thai residency if during that year of marriage he was behaving well and merging well in the Thai community. I think she is a gold digger who cannot wait to get pregnant and get him stuck. But before accusing her of being a whore and a liar, I ´m checking with my ThaiVisa friends first . Have you heard of a anyone keeping his Thai residency after divorcing his Thai wife? Thank you very much for your answers.

Nope, not going to happen.

First point - Permanent Residency status for Thailand is not granted to anybody:

- Simply on the basis of being married to a Thai person (marriage as a means of gaining PR or even citizenship can be true in some other countries but not Thailand).

- Therefore the 'one year' point is redundant.

Further:

- PR for Thailand can be achieved by: single people, people (male or female) married to a Thai person and a person / couple who are both not Thai.

- It is NOT based simply on how many years you have physically been in Thailand.

- There is a long and very informative thread at the start of the ThaiVisa website re PR. This thread mentions all the qualifying criteria for PR, note that

work permits and payment of taxes over quite a few years are key, plus further items. Please take a look.

Also, as in any country, marriages of convenience are illegal, if caught. Marriages of convenience are great set ups for controlling people / blackmail.

1. He is working without a work permit?

2. He doesn't have a non-immigrant visa?

3. He is considering entering into a marriage of convenience so that he can obtain a marriage visa?

4. He thinks he can get residency because he is married?

He is heading for a rude awakening.

[andreas islinger]

are you even serious asking this question?

[kjhbigv]

Unbelievable! Tell your mate I have a great investment idea for him, guaranteed 40% return and zero risk....does he want my bank details?

C'mon, I don't believe anyone is that naive!

[Strangebrew]

To OP just ask Ubonjoe he will tell you But off hand I seriously doubt might get hit with more than he really wants.

I think that , a Thai girl, cannot, simultaneously, be a whore AND a liar which requires some mental gymnastics ! These ladies of the evening are specialists so choose what you prefer whore ?, liar ? Personally I prefer whore !

[KarineKa]

Well ... She offered to marry him for 5000thb pcm in exchange of what he could have sex with her whenever he wanted, but also stay free to date and shag other girls... I suppose 5000thb would have been her pocket money as they would have lived together and he would have had to pay for the rent.... All that, along with a Thai marriage that would allow him to stay in Thailand. I think it is a very good deal!

Well, farang girls like me cannot compete with Thai girls, that ´s for sure...

Wow - we all appreciate your superior knowledge of just about everything.

I am sure the OP would be glad to have such a vast knowledge of all things, as you clearly do.

Well she looks ok, just an average Thai girl. I think I can remember he said to me she had big legs and fatty thighes ... But not much thinking going on in the mind... I think she offered such a good deal coz he is an attractive man... I know her facebook. If you are interested and eager to get me rid of her, that would be amazing ;-)

Oh no. Thai whore's can lie very well indeed. To several men at once. You just really don't give these women their due if you believe they can't out maneuver the lot of us....

Seems to me that OP is the one who's a bit slow....

[garyinhuahin]

Short answer is "No".

[MobileContent]

OP, you need to pay taxes for at least 2-3 years on a monthly basis.

[realenglish1]

This is a bad idea and if you get caught you can go to jail Not to mention the stranglehold the girl will have on you if she turns on you

Think about it Not a good idea

[Patsycat]

The OP has been a member since July 2013, and can only come up with this little ditty?

[NativeSon360]

Absolutely NO! Conversely, if you are a western woman, married to a Thai guy, then the answer is a resounding YES!. Do you get the drift?

[Moonlover]

She's more than a lying little bitch! Tell your stupid friend to dump her right now.

Don Aleman, you are definitely setting yourself up to learn a very bitter lesson, by believing these young, uneducated (by western standards) Thai girls are stupid!

Now, when it come to pointing fingers @ the real group of people, who are factually lacking in the ability to perform mental gymnastics, you need to stop, look and listen to the statistical facts. Try taking a long-look @ 50-year demographic of "educated" western expats of SE Asia, who have repeatedly, and resoundingly (even despite being given sound legal advice) earned for themselves, a lifetime membership in the Richard Forbrain Society.

Thai women are not committing suicide (on an average of one, per week), resulting from a failed relationship with a Farang! Thoughout the decades, Thai women (in particular) have earned for themselves, a global reputation for being some of the smoothest "grifters" on the planet. Books have been written about this phenomenon of western menfolk, losing their entire life's earnings, to some (supposedly) stupid Thai girl, from the country province of Isaan.

Get your head screwed-on, in the upright position, sir! You're way-off base, with that topic of discussion.

Thank you very much for all the helpful people who answered to this thread without criticising anyone else or showing cyberbullying tendencies. I will let my friend know.

[smotherb]

Well ... She offered to marry him for 5000thb pcm in exchange of what he could have sex with her whenever he wanted, but also stay free to date and shag other girls...

Well, farang girls like me cannot compete with Thai girls, that ´s for sure...

That depends on the subject of the competition.

[NativeSon360]

1. He is working without a work permit? 2. He doesn't have a non-immigrant visa? 3. He is considering entering into a marriage of convenience so that he can obtain a marriage visa? 4. He thinks he can get residency because he is married? He is heading for a rude awakening.

Plus, he's posting his intentions, on this forum. Duh

[Muhendis]

Always. It only happens to a friend. Aach! I've just wasted a load of key presses
