Hi, I have been doing a lot of research around Thai visas and I am baffled to say the least.

There is a possibility that I will be moving out to Bangkok to teach at an international school, who will provide my visa for me. I have, however, got a long-term boyfriend (6 years) who I would also want to move out with me. This is where I am confused. Can he go with me as a dependent or would he have to get his own visa? But how would that work out if he doesn't have a job arranged? I understand if he gets a job out there then the company will provide it for him, much like mine.

Would the situation be different if we were married? Would this allow him to come with me?

Any help appreciated.
Many thanks

Seems that it should be not a problem if we can show:

• Marriage  Certificate of my wife and I
  
• Birth certificates of my 2 kids
  
• Death Certificate of their biological father
  
• if needed I can also provide receipts for School fees, etc

I think it will be much more flexible for the kids to come on Dependents Visa and if we should decide the schools here as not suitable for them, they can always go back to resume schoolin Philippines after summer vacation. The cost of good English speaking chools here is quire a deterent though.Hope to find something affordable enough,

One advantage there is that the kids are under the care if their paternal grandmotger (who I trust) who is their Vice-Principal,  and there is no worries over their chooling

If you are truely into each other, marriage is great, but don't do it just for the visa!
