Re: Fiancee Visa Company Recommendation?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your replies and lots of good information. I have decided to take the tourist visa route for my girlfriend and using a chap recommended by a member on this forum who is a visa agent. Although its not guaranteed, I will keep everyone updated on the progress.

Cheers :cheers:

Re: Fiancee Visa Company Recommendation?

Once again thanks for all of your replies. I will probably go for the tourist visa route to see whether she likes the UK first and the initial cost of it all. I am still assessing the whole thing and wondering whether I have enough evidence as I have only known her for a short period. I will keep yo...

Re: Fiancee Visa Company Recommendation?

Thanks for everyones replies. I am just gathering all the information and chewing it over. Just a hyperthetical question. Would it make it easier if I got married in Thailand? Or wouldn't it make any difference? I'm not saying I'm getting married yet but just out of interest.

Cheers

Re: Fiancee Visa Company Recommendation?

Thanks for everyones replies. They all convey good advise and good feedback. Yes its all a minefield. The only thing I am confused about is that, would the length of time be relevant of knowing your girlfriend if you had the intention of getting married anyway? I would prefer not to take the tourist...

Re: Farang murder a few days ago

I was playing darts at the Cat Karaoke (next to Bernies) early evening a couple of weeks ago when the police turned up with a grainy picture from a security camera with, you've guessed it, a girl with long, straight, black hair and the victim. Couldn't really make out her face. The picture was from...

Re: Farang murder a few days ago

A friend (katoey) told me she was taken in for questioning as she had a similar hair style to the person the police are looking for. Simular hair style? What was that? Dark, long and straight. Thats probably the description of 90% of Thai girls. :wink: Any other clues? Does anyone have any links on...

Nothing surprises me anymore in Thailand. I didnt want to reply to this post but I wanted to warn others of this. I am a little embarressed to write this and have learnt my lesson well. My first mistake when I came to Thailand a few years back was to fall in love with a BG. I would never consider my...
