Hi Brendan, Sorry for very late reply!. The visa came through at the end of May exactly 6 months after all our paperwork was received in Dublin, we submitted all documents the previous October. The visa office rang me to tell me that her passport was ready for collection at the Embassy in Bangkok, h...

Yeah, it wont be a problem once you can show them a few photos together and you have plenty of correspondence and as you said you have been there a few times so its all ok, dont worry.

Hi.

You dont need to go through an agent. If you have all the paperwork just get your gifrlfiend to submit at the embassy in bangkok, It should take about 4 or 5 weeks to come through. As Brendan said you need to tick a few boxes and you will be fine.

Cheers, good luck with your paperwork and I'll let you know as soon as its approved. Hopefully will be soon!, kop khun krap

Can you tell me did you have to wait on the ' current processing times' to reach the date that you submitted or did they just process before the date. I am in a situation like that too, submitted in October but processing time is currently another 14 weeks behind.

Congratulations on Visa Approval. I'm in a similar situation (Irish Citizen) and will shortly be applying for a D Visa Join Spouse for my Thai National Wife. Would you mind telling me how many week's from submitting your application at the Consulate to approval? We applied mid October and was then ...

Hi Just wondering if any Irish citizens have received their 'join family' visa for wife or husband recently?, I am awaiting my wife's visa to be passed and we submitted last October 2015. It seems the process is taking longer than we thought and 'current processing times' are either frozen or move o...
