It is fast approaching the time<br />
of year when we start thinking<br />
about Christmas and spending<br />
time with our nearest and dearest.<br />
Many expats in Thailand<br />
choose to head home for the holidays<br />
and plan to take their partners<br />
with them.<br />
If you are planning to take your<br />
Thai partner back to your home<br />
country for a visit within the next<br />
few months then you need to start<br />
collecting your documentary evidence<br />
now.<br />
One of the main criteria that<br />
the entry clearance will look for<br />
is proof of a genuine relationship,<br />
so prepare as many documents to<br />
help with this as you can.<br />
If you live in Thailand together<br />
you can provide joint rental<br />
agreements, or your name listed<br />
in a yellow tabian baan at your<br />
partners home, correspondence<br />
for you both going to the same<br />
address, photos together at your<br />
home.<br />
If you don’t live together then<br />
you should provide evidence of<br />
regular dates and meetups and<br />
phone call/text message proof of<br />
contact.<br />
If you have a contract phone in<br />
Thailand then your provider may<br />
be able to ask your telephone<br />
provider for an itemised bill. If<br />
you use Facebook Messenger or<br />
Whatsapp or LINE app to contact<br />
your partner then you can check<br />
the information on our website<br />
for details of how to download<br />
the messages - https://www.keyvisathailand.com/how-to-proveyour-relationship/<br />
Your partner should also supply<br />
details of any land or business<br />
he/she owns in Thailand or if they<br />
have a regular job confirmation<br />
from their employer that their job<br />
will be kept open for them on their<br />
return.<br />
If you are living together in<br />
Thailand it may be slightly easier<br />
to convince the entry clearance officer<br />
of intent to return but this is<br />
not always the case so make sure<br />
that you have enough documentary<br />
proof also.<br />
If you are living overseas and<br />
your partner is living in Thailand,<br />
then you will need to provide evidence<br />
of your previous meetings<br />
and contact when you are overseas.<br />
Again, you can use the information<br />
on our website to help<br />
to prove that you are in a genuine<br />
relationship.<br />
If you met your partner online,<br />
then the situation is more complicated<br />
and we recommend that<br />
you contact the Key Visa office for<br />
advice.<br />
Spending Christmas or any<br />
time of year back in your home<br />
country with your Thai partner is<br />
a great way to grow your relationship,<br />
whether or not you intend to<br />
live there full time.<br />
Being in a different country<br />
shows a different side of people’s<br />
characters which is sometimes<br />
good and sometimes bad. It is<br />
best to find out early how well your<br />
Thai partner copes with travelling<br />
and adapts to spending time in a<br />
different culture.<br />
