royar2002 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 It's an ideal situation for me. Tired of working and have no intention of marrying the girl that lives with me. It's the simple life. Only hassle is the visa I lived in Thailand like you for many years. not married, under 50 and a pension about 70 000 Bath per month. Tired of the visa hassle, I try to get a non o visa based on my pension. But non o visa application was refused in Lao, Penang, and Europe. Then I married to my girlfriend to make everything more easy. But after a while I feel it was more easy before. Well I dont have to leave the country every 3 month, but under non O visa you are more controlled by the government, have to bring your wife to immigration and report every month, a lot of paperwork if you want to move or change adress etc. Before I used to take my bike for a ride to malaysia, Lao or Burma. That was only fun, and when I bring some stuff (legal) back to Thailand, always pay the trip. So if it's not about the money and no marriage, consider to wait to 50 and get a retirement visa.

caughtintheact Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 You didn't mention if you had spent much time here before or if you met your boyfriend abroad. Can you handle the food? The different language? The long periods of time when you cannot use your native language? The differences in the culture? In other words there is a lot more to it than just a visa. Although I will have to defer to others about the visa, I see no reason why you should not be able to get one if the boyfriend can show that he can support you. But this could also be subject to the whims of officialdom. You need to check with the Thai Embassy in Israel. Their web site is at http://203.150.20.1/datapr/d_tel%20aviv.htm Royal Thai Embassy Golda Center 21 Shaul Homelech Blvd. Tel Aviv 64367 Tel. (972-3) 695-8980, 695-8984 Fax. (972-3) 695-8991 E-mail: [email protected] You will probably need a non-immigrant visa, a letter from your boyfriend and some other documents, but best to check with the Embassy before doing anything else. Perhaps someone with similar experience might be able to offer better advice. Have you tried posting to the ladies' forum? Farang girls in Thailand http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showforum=15 After looking at some of the postings, it appears that you do not need to show any money http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5946, but please do not take my word for it. You must contact the Thai Embassy in Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
