Popular Post webfact Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 Love is not Tourism: Petition lobbies Thai govt to allow unmarried couples to enter Thailand FILE PHOTO: Reuters A petition has been started to open up Thailand to couples separated by the pandemic. It urges the government to "Safely open the Thai borders for Love!". It is part of the #LoveIsNotTourism movement sweeping the globe that is seeing unmarried couples who are desperate to be reunited with each other rallying on social media . Nearly 1,200 had signed the Thai petition by 11.40 am today and more were signing every few seconds on the way to a 1,500 target. Many foreigners with Thai partners - both married and unmarried - have been parted for months, notes Thaivisa. Comments from both foreigners and Thais on the petition site highlighted their plight and desperation to be reunited. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-08-04 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alyx Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 Good luck with that...not many countries do consider these couples. I see many hassles with that Once the relationship is established, if it can be proven, what kind of visa will be issued ? A crucial matter, which may upset some, the list includes gay couples as, they too, are not tourists but lovers. 555 and that is only the tip of the Iceberg 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here is the reason why this one will not get off the ground. Not picking on you Borzandy but this does highlight how any such system might be abused. I have a friend who is not married to his girlfriend but they have been together for about 20 years. In order to facilitate her visa here with him in Thailand, he had to produce evidence of that long relationship. He suceeded, but it did require a fair bit of paperwork and photos. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tso310 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 What is interesting is that the number of ASQ hotels now stands at 34. Bearing in mind the difficulties of getting a flight into Thailand one wonders why the number has been increasing. I think it went up to 29 from 24 last Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a need to increase the available capacity of quarantine facilities to get people with retirement visa and people normally living in Thailand in a long term committed relationship.

You can obtain a visa for each girlfriend. Just remember to inform immigration if they are long or short time ( sorry, term) girlfriends as the fee is different. You will also need a free page in your passport for each visa ( I mean girlfriend). Oh, I forgot the important requirement, you'll need 800,000 in the bank for each of them too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
