Hi Bangla Surfer

It depend of what country you want to take her to.

For example if you want to take her to the UK, then your chances of her getting a visa are very slim. As of last September the fee for a visitors visa to the UK was 2500 baht.

The process is as follows:

Letter of invitation and sponsor from you
Evidence of financial means if you are sponsoring her financially - e.g. bank statements, payslips
Evidence to support bona fide relationship i.e. e mails, photos, phone bills all to substantiate time known and extent of relationship
Evidence that she will return to Thailand - in essence this means does she have assets and responsbilities in Thialand which will convince UK immigration that she is visitor - e.g. evidence of land and house ownership, business ownership, well paid respectable job(in their eyes), financial means, bank statements & payslips

Under no circumstance can you say she work in the bar

if you cannot produce these then its a no go - believe me!!!! If you can then I reckon you will still have to try 2-3 times to get success!!!

If you can then you can put your application in to UK embassy with all the evidence and your fee.
Your girlfriend will have to attend an interview in person in Bangkok, this means paying return flight from Phuket (budget 6000 baht), hotel accommodation and living for 2-3 days (budget 6000 baht) remember Bangkok she will want to go shopping bla bla bla....

So total cost to you about 15,000 baht to be safe and then add on another 5,000 for good measure as there are more gold shops in Bangkok

Other Euro countries are not as stringent e.g. Belgium, Switzerland. Sweden - come to mind

Hope this helps
