I love the threads which start; I met a Thai gurl, but she's NOT a bar-gurl, blah-blah-blah.
Believe me, few people care if she's a cheap Sukhumvit street whore "well beyond her use by date"; after all, she's your g/f. Still thanx for the heads up that "yours is different". I do wonder what a "reasonable education" is. Does that mean she's a 6th grade dropout rice farmer's daughter from a one buffalo village in Nakhon Nowhere, or what?. Don't feel you hafta justify your life choices in partners on an anonymous internet forum.
As previous posters have pointed out; like anyone from a "pissant shit-hole developing third world country" who's tryin' to get into a real "first world country"; the lynch-pin is proving to the Embassy that the person has sufficient "thaiz" to Thailand so that they'll leave when their visa is up.
As has also been pointed out and far as the Embassy is concerned "sufficient thaiz" to Thailand are;Basically ANYTHING which would lead the Embassy to believe your "gurlfriend" isn't gonna overstay, fall off the radar, and work illegally in the country.
- a "real job" with written permission from the employer that they'll still be employed when they return to Thailand
- bank statements showing regular deposits/withdrawals, (not just a million baht that a sponsor dropped into the account to "pad it out")
- showing that they own motorbikes, cars, condo, land etc.
The burden of proof is totally on HER to show this stuff, not on you.
Still good luck with the "but this one's different" gurl of yours. Get back to us and let us know how it all pans out for you. Or not..
