Australian Embassy, Bangkok 37 South Sathorn Road, Bangkok, Thailand RE: VISITOR VISA APPLICATION (TOURIST STREAM) FOR

MISS. LEK NOI Passport Number: ABC123455 ID Card: 123456789 Letter of Support from Mr. John Smith Australian Passport Number: ABC12353344 Address: 123 Jones St, Smithfield, South Australia Date: 1 June 2013 To Whom it may Concern, My name is John Smith and I am an Australian Citizen by Birth. I am a Graduate f rom the Australian University where I completed my studies in Engineering I am currently employed by ABC Pty Ltd at Adelaide as the Sales Manager. My sala ry is A$50,000 per year gross, plus superannuation. (Attached is a Letter of Emp loyment from my Employer). I have been involved in the Engineering Industry in A ustralia for 10 Years. I am writing this letter in support of the above application for a Visitor s Visa. I met Lek in January of 2012 in Bangkok where she was accompanying her sister i n search of a University. Our relationship quickly developed and I accompanied her back to Phuket where we began living as a couple in her Parent's home for a period of 2 months. At this stage I was required to return to Australia for work purposes and left Thailand on the 10th of March 2013 (1 day after my birthday as she wanted to spend it wi th me.) During my time in Australia we continued our relationship on Facebook an d Skype. Starting from when we woke up until when we went to bed there would be barely 5 minutes between communication for the entire 2 months I remained in Aus tralia. I have included extracts of these communications however there are thous ands of pages and including them all would be impractical. I returned to Thailand on the 30th of July 2012 and she was waiting to collect m e from the Airport. From there we took a bus back to her home Province and again began living as a couple in her Parents' Home. On the 30th of August 2012 we ma de an application for a Visitor Visa for Lek to visit my home in Adelaide, Austr alia. The reason for that application was due to our relationship becoming more serious and as such we felt it important for Lek to see Australia, meet my Famil y and Friends and experience the Australian way of life including cultural diffe rences between the two countries. The application was approved on the 15th of Se ptember 2012 and we booked flights to Australia. Lek and I both arrived in Adela ide on the 2nd of October 2012 (Attached are Itineraries from the Airlines). During Lek's stay in Australia (3 Months) we have engaged in a wide range of Tou rist Activities including a visit to Adelaide Wildlife Park to see the Kangaroo' s, Seaworld in Queensland to see the assorted Marine Life in South Australia, S hark Island for Snorkeling and Tours of the Island, Lek for a lesson on the Hist ory of South Australia, The Adelaide River by Tour Cruise, The Adelaide Valley, South Australia Entertainment Complex as well as visited the Adelaide Theatre an d various Festivals including the Food and Wine Festival at the South Australian Exhibition Centre and of course Adelaide City and the Adelaide Tower. (Attached is Evidence of these visits including Photographs) Lek departed Australia on the 2nd of January 2013 in compliance with her Visa an

d has returned to Thailand. Initially our plan was to visit Australia jointly and for both of us to return t o Thailand on the 2nd of January, unfortunately however we have had to make chan ges to those plans due to serious changes of my employment which saw me being pr omoted to regional sales manager and as such I am now limited in the amount of t ime I can have away from work for at least the next 6 months. Lek is now making a second application for a Visitor Visa (Tourist Stream) for a period of 6 months. We do understand that an application for a Visitor Visa (To urist Stream) is for "Short Visits of Family and Friends or Holiday Purposes" an d although she has just completed a stay in Australia we still believe this is t he correct visa given our situation. I will explain this reasoning below: Our relationship is continuing to develop and we both believe it is beneficial t o carefully grow as a couple and not rush into the commitment of marriage. While we are both completely in love we see it as important to build a strong foundat ion for a relationship. The 3 months we had together in Australia were wonderful however it was not long enough to make a firm decision on the country we wish to reside in (in the futu re). Lek has not had time to evaluate day to day life in Australia and as such c annot commit to wanting a life in Australia (making a migration visa pointless). 3 months did not give us sufficient time to complete many of the activities we h ad planned, including visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. (My siste r now lives in Hobart and Lek has always wanted to see the Sydney Opera House). My employer has I remain in the rom Lek at this us emotionally explained to me that given my new position it is important that country for at least the next 6 months. Being physically apart f point in our relationship would cause a severe strain on both of which in turn would affect all aspects of our lives negatively.

Once again I can assure you that I will guarantee Lek will meet the obligations of her visa by not engaging in Employment while in Australia and exiting Austral ia before the expiration of her Visa. Given the fact that the possibility exists of applying for a migration visa at a later date it would be in our best interests to comply with all obligations and restrictions of any visa granted to Lek I would also like to assure the Embassy that on exhaustion of the 6 month Visito r Visa I would be returning to Thailand with Lek and at that point I believe we would be in a position to make a more permanent decision on our future. In closing I would like to draw your attention to evidence supplied which shows a Genuine Relationship and a Genuine reason for Lek to return to Thailand before the expiration of her Visa. I would also like to draw your attention to the fac t that Lek met all obligations during her last visit to Australia and I met all obligations guaranteed in my letter of support on her last visit to Australia. In total since meeting Lek in January of 2012 we have physically resided togethe r for 8 months of the 10 months we have known each other and during the 2 months apart we were in constant contact. I undertake to provide all expenses and provide full lodging for Lek at 123 Jon es St, Smithfield, South Australia whilst she is in Australia. Furthermore I wi ll ensure that she does not engage in employment activities while in Australia a nd is covered by Full Comprehensive Travel Insurance.
