Hi all, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here but I know there is a wealth of knowledge here that will know the answer to my query so it was a bit of a no brainer and to ask!
My girlfriend and I have been living here in Australia for the past 14 months or so, we’ve gone back to Thailand multiple times but always on a visitor visa (or exemption).
We are now planning on getting married back in Thailand in November this year. We would like to come back in October to do our planning, set up etc but then like to stay in Thailand for about a year or so after the wedding.
Some quick facts about me, I’m about to turn 48 yo and will be 48 in October, I am retired and can easily prove the income requirement of in excess of 40k earning a month. Not sure what else is prudent at this time.
So my question is, what is the correct and most efficient and cost effective visa(s) to apply for to make this happen? In summary, come unmarried, get married, stay for a year (or so)
I’m hoping Todddaniels will chime in here with his advice.
Thanks in advance!
