does she work?
does she own property?
does she have any money in the bank?
does she have a child?
Most foreigners come up with a blank on these issues but remember its just paperwork that needs a tick.
I'm Aussie but I presume its similar. what they want to see is the strength of your relationship with your girlfriend, reasons she would need to return. basically you need to prove she won't over stay her visa and work in a brothel.
Ok, here goes:
1. She runs her own business in the Village, an Internet Cafe and a Shop with documents in her name as owner.
2. She owns land and has Original Genuine Chanote Title in her own name.
We have a Usufruct Agreement Together, signed under Thai Law to give me the use of one section of her land upon which we have built a house.
The Usufruct is registered at the Local Land Office and my name is on the Chanote Title as a lessee of the land.
3. She has two Bank Accounts, one with her own savings (small) and the other operated for the House Building project with several large transfers from my UK Bank Account over the past year.
4. She has no children.
I understand that we need to show proof of all this, plus my assets and ability to support her during the UK Visit etc. However, where do we start the application process?
I have a colleague who just achieved a similar Visa for his GF who has none of the above assets, however he used ''easy visa'' agency which was successful in 2 weeks but cost 50,000 THB !!
I am keen to do more of it myself, but will use an agent where recommended.
