In Topic: Viewing Thaivisa On Iphone 4

2012-05-10 19:51:36

Have it already, but not a fan. I like to look on the mobile version through safari. Only have 16G and a ton of apps and photos and don't need the thaivisa app.

So whats up? Is it going to be fixed? Or is there something (not time consuming) that I can do?

There's a really nice place right in town, full block walls on the sides and back with block wall and steel gate/fence in the front. Enough room for 100 dogs and walking distance to the center of town. Beautiful modern home with large kitchen., 3 bathrooms, air, hot shower and lots of undercover areas, gardens, fountains and parking for a great life style.

So where is it? How much per month? Contact details? Pictures?

"Compelling Reasons to return to Thailand" are the magic words.
Very true and two significant elements of this determination are (1) the perceived strength of the relationship and (2) the strength of your (not only her) ties to Thailand.  If you are here on a visa exempt entry or a tourist visa, the consular officer is more likely to think that you are returning to the US and trying to take your GF with you than if you have a non-immigrant visa and a work permit.  Marriage will certainly help with the "strength of relationship" part, but if you have few demonstrable ties to Thailand yourself, even that may not be enough for a B1 (visitor) visa.

I mean I have as many ties to thailand as I can possibly have if I get married and change visas. I guess I could buy a house, but that would still be in the wifes name not mine. I dont work in thailand so no work permit, not old enough to retire... Make money out of the country so dont pay any taxes in thailand. What else can I possibly do?

So my retirement visa is not really looking that good, though I used to have a non imm B when I did work maybe my 9 years of living here will help though only married to my wife for 3.  Gee what an ordeal just to take her to see my country which to be honest I have no real desire to do and even less so with all this...thanks to Kamnan, Prothai and others for their advice...3 more weeks till my wife goes for her interview will report her outcome.

So your wife is going for a tourist visa interview in 3 weeks? Good luck man. I am curious to see if she gets it.
