I just got a new job today after returning from Thailand 2 weeks ago (3 month trip). When I spoke to my paranoid dad, he said be careful cause if she does run away in Australia, I have to pay for damages cause I said I'm her guarantor, is this true?? What kind of trouble would I be in? . Are you kidding this forum. I spend a grand a week on a cheap week providing for my thai gf and myself. I think this thread is a wind up. OP keeps asking same dumb questions. Did you read my advice re good web site earlier. $1000au is a joke. Also what money does she have. What do you plan for her while she is here. On zero budget. You say you just started new job. So THE PLAN? You work and she plays facebook during the day? Grow up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiesam Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It is relatively straight forward if the person is not a flight risk as has been stated before. My long term girlfriend (now my wife) visited me in Australia this year and it took only 7 days for her to receive her passport back from the visa section. Her application was pretty strong i.e. letter from her employer, evidence of long term relationship with me, return air fare, letter of guarantee for board and other expenses etc whilst in Oz. The visa she received is a multiple entry visa that is valid for 1 year and she can stay in Oz for up to 3 months on any entry. No stamp in passport just electronic tracking of her passport through Australian Border Force. Job, genuine reason to return e.g. study back in Thailand and letter of support are the main criteria. Many previous posts mention the guarantee of support How much do I need). I can tell you right now that the application process my wife went through did not even question her nor my finances. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, can I have her come to Australia in 2 years to start the 3 month visa? Why would you ? just wait the two years. The scenario itself sound strange and would be immediately rejected by the Oz visa section I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So THE PLAN? You work and she plays facebook during the day? Grow up yeah, i check out the website very thoroughly. Best to cover every angle hence my questions which i'm not scared to ask! I'm starting to run low on money hence why i'm back in Australia to work! I have a house fully paid off where i live off $300 a week including bills I reckon. $1000 a week!!! Do you drink everyday... you must love wasting your money!! Why pay 10x as much for entertainment here when it's cheap as in Thailand?!? I'm just here to save, nothing more, nothing less for 3-6 months! yeah, i work and she can play on her phone all day. It's what she does in Thailand where she seems happy doing so. That's what I love about Thais, they seem very happy living a basic life! She can be a free woman and happy being a housewife compare to the women here that enjoy being slaves to the workforce! The only difference is that I can't work in Thailand. I'll clearing at least $1000 for my new job so I think i'll wait for a couple pay cheques which i'll print and include in my submission! (hope it will be enough). I'm still waiting for a good amount to have saved up before lodging the forms? $3,000 maybe $4,000 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see any evidence of her intention to return to Thailand, think you are wasting your time and money. But good luck, you have been given a lot of detail on why the application will probably be rejected - so up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

organicman Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Good news, she got the visa today :) The bad news is the flights are x3 as much (16000+ baht) compare normal around 6000-7000 to Melbourne Australia (from over a week ago). I never bought a flight at this time of the year but I noticed in the last couple weeks the price does change and there was a 7000 baht flight to Melbome from Bangkok. How does the flight system work at this time of the year? I normally use skyscanner.com. If I can save some money, that would be good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book direct with the airline for the cheapest deal. I normally used Jetstar but the cheapest fares are always the ones with no refunds if you want to change/cancel so be sure of your travel dates....
