(nadal84 @ Jun. 02 2007,22:14) Obviously first visit is just on a vacation/trial basis, to see if she likes it here and then we would be thinking of things on a more long term basis.

This is the kiss of death my friend.

Thai rak Thai. Thais love Thais, Thailand and everything Thai.

She probably won't find happiness living amid a bunch of fat white people eating fish and chips.

she is a philipino
nadal i tryed to get a vsa recently i went to the aus embassy and did the homework, but still failed to get her a visa due to the fact t she had no regular job in the embasseys eyes.
i signed a stat dec declairing i would provide for all her needs while on holiday here and that she would abide by the visa requirements. still unsucessfull
the reason the australains are so strict is the thais philipinos malays chinese and indonesias are very bad over stayers
Im not sure what country your from but good luck and do you home work k

Cheers Donny, yea im an aussie too Thanks for sharing your own story, i can see that it's really quite difficult then. But if your girl did have a job that was recognised by the embassy do you think she would have been given the all clear? An is lb discrimination a factor in any of this at all or is it really that hard for all filipinas?.

Cheers mate

Don't get down by lots of vile comments.

Just do what makes you happy, and use a bit of common sense when she lands to make her happy. Specifically take actions on that, don't just ignore it. If she's happy, likely you will be too, and vice versa.

Best of luck and we hope you well.

This is good and magnanimous advice.

Most Visa applications that do get rejected are because of incorrectly filled out paperwork or some misunderstanding (conflict) about the relationship that an immigration official has picked up on.

Also - many farangs tend to forget that it is the girl doing the applying - NOT you and it's not a joint affair either! Only she can make the application and all you can do is make sure you hand her your side of the paperwork.

I'd seriously think of using an agency for this. There's a very friendly one in Jomtiem but the name escapes me for now.

This is probably just a case of stating the obvious but Sangabriel you can be a complete arsehole. You start by mis-reading the first post then just punch lower and lower to make your point.

If relationships between fat white farangs and 19 year old LB's are based solely on money then it resembles a good many farang/farang relationships I observed in my unhappy ten year marriage.

By all means offer advice but give people you have never met the credit for working out what they want and need and the intelligence to have thought through their decisions.

The guy asked for assistance on how to make the process work not to be told what a stupid bastard he was.

Well I assume, based on your interests, that this must be a sort of compliment.

Do I turn you on?

Do you get a woody when you think about me?

Sometimes the blunt and unvarnished truth is the best advice. That is something we lose sight of in our soft-serve society.

Sangabriel. you obviously don't know Pinays, or you've hooked up with the wrong ones. My Mom is one, as is my ex wife (2 yrs older than me, and no, didn't fleece me). Most Pinays are very conservative due to their Catholic upbringing. Yes, sure they want to hook an American, a vehicle to get the hell out of their everyday struggle, as it's not easy for a woman to find meaningful work in PI.

As far as them divorcing you and taking evrything you have, I've found just the opposite. I have a Pinay friend, she's 46, cute as hell, married a guy that was about 25 yrs her senior. Penpals in the early 1980's, they met, got married, ahd a son, raised a family. Good for him, good for her. He has Alzheimers, close to 70 or older now, and yes, she is just waiting for him to die but she also feeds and bathes the old cat. Damn, I hope that if that happens to me, I have a woman like that. Honestly, she loves him, but maybe never in love with him.

Now, I have a Japanese horror story - friend of mine met a beautiful Japanese woman online, they met, got married, separated within 2 yrs, she went back to Japan. She tells him she is terminally ill, he goes to Japan, at the same time, she's flying back here, empties his apartment completely. Not sure what he did but she sure had a vendetta toplan that out.

Nadal, go for it, what the hell, live and learn. If it feels right, it just might be. Horror stories are the one's you hear because the one's that do work out, no story to tell. The tough part about LB's in PI is that they are males, so no fiance visa. If they have travelled prior and came back, much esier for them to leave again.

Best of luck.

Thank you, I love anecdotes. They are proof of anything.

As far as the conservative Catholic thing, well, that is no virtue.

I restate my advice in more general terms: don't ever bring a prostitute home or get married to one, whatever the country of origin.

Can't argue with that. Are all LB's prostitutes? No, not all, just the one's that are talked about here. Some do try to make a career, some go to college (really, I swear) but then again, I live in California, not PI or LOS. There's a Latina LB I see all the time, works at Taco Bell. She's actually pretty good looking and when she asks me if I want hot sauce, I say "give it to me baby. I'm pretty fly for a white guy".

i'm all with sangabriel .. it isnt about being cynical, but if you know the place and the girls, you should take f'in care of yourself .. cos they won't

[Guest]

Cheers for all the response guys.

As for sangabriel i think perhaps you assume a little too much. You know nothing about me or my g/f , i don't beleive at any time i stated my g/f was or is a prostitute, nor did i mention at any time my age or financial situation and i can tell you from all your assumptions you are way off mate.

I came here for advice on getting a visa for her and the problems that we might face in getting one im not here for relationship advice thank you very much.

I also hope directing rude comments towards other peoples g/f's is not regular behavior for you sangabriel i hope you take comfort in being safe an secure behind your username

Thanks again to everyone else

nadal84, you are welcome. You have given a very classy response to some very rude replies.

Unfortunately there is not much about attempting to get Filipina lbs visas to Australia - as the major focus of discussions on this board is about Thai lbs. That is why I suggested you contract the Australian Embassy in the Philipppines.

Some of the information here might be similar, but I think there would be some differences as well.

If your gf is a nurse, then she can almost write her own ticket in. Other health care professions are also in demand, pharmacist, lab technician, x-ray technician, etc.

Something else to consider might be personal care assistant as the % of the aging population increases.

I wish you both all the best in these efforts, and hope that you will continue to share your progress. Reading about the story of Kai and Jellybean shows it is possible.

Lighten up man. I did not say anything specifically about your g/f. Part of what I said was to Ricky Poo, not you, because I had difficulty with the PM thing.

I gave my personal opinions about relationships with prostitutes, Thai women and Pinays. I have loads of experience with Filipino females and while not all of them are snakes, I am slow to trust them, for good reasons. I did not say your g/f was a prostitute, but it is not uncommon that some dude considers marriage with a prostitute, which is pure folly (in my most humble opinion) and needs to be discouraged early and often. I hope that this board is not suddenly so politically correct that we cannot speak honestly, for fear of putting someone's panties in a bunch.

I still think that the best advice is to BE CAREFUL. The biggest obstacle will not be getting a VISA! Ziggy was right on about that! Bringing a wife from another country is riskier than sometimes we care to acknowlege. Trust me, it is easy to look at a relationship with a foreigner only through rose-colored glasses, as too many of us have too often done.

If everyone here piles on with congratulations and kudos, and no one says anthing to raise the flag or slow down your excitement in bringing a foreign wife, well this may in fact not be a helpful place. Ultimately only you can look out for yourself, and if everyone just cheers you on as you venture down a risky path, is that a good thing?

I do not know the specifics about your relationship, but please understand that a little discouragement in very general terms may actually be a helpful thing. If your relationship cannot tolerate one naysayer's advice, well, maybe it really is time to slow down.

good luck in your endeavours, however, as perhaps the non-Australian members of the forum are not familiar with, we have created one of the best Immigration systems in the Western World ( one which is being looked at in Europe, to try and stem the Islamic tide),therefore there may be a few misguided comments.
What has happened, over a long period now, is that the hopeless farang that have been involved with marrying Thai,Philippino, bar girls have been very vocal in letting the Immigration dep't know about the marry & dump them philosophy, used by these people, to gain access to the Country.
Unlike Jellybean & Kai, who can take advantage of all these Human Rights laws that Europe is now infested with,Australia is now an extremely tough & knowledgable place regarding the many phony requests for visa'a, etc.I think that a holiday visa may be a lot easier than permanent residence.Judging by the process, as explained to me, there are many hurdles and questions placed in front of the applicants, including very detailed questions about the personal relationship between the applicants.As previously expressed ,the best possible chance would be to have a job that fits the into one of our "shortage" categories.
