Can my Thai fiancée work in the UK after we marry?

No

Funny - a guy who claims to be British but can’t spell! Hmmm

Good luck with that.

Lords and Ladies...

Where's my tuxedo? 🎩

If you plan to live in UK for 6 months and Thailand for 6 months, your simplest and cheapest option would be tourist visas which will not permit any Work activities.

If you plan to settle in the UK then you need to obtain a Family Settlement Visa as a Spouse. This is valid for 2y 9m and after 2y 6m you have to apply for an extension, for a further 2y 9m… and again, after 2y 6m (when you are in UK for a total of 5yrs) you can apply for permanent residency or citizenship, depending if she meets the criteria and passes the Life in UK test and also a B1 level ULATS English Speaking test. She will need a minimum ULATS A1 level speaking test for Visa number 1. Then a minimum A2 test for the extension, and a B1 level for Perm Residency or Citizenship. My wife just went straight for B1 which covers all future requirements. She will also need to have a Tuberculosis Lung Xray, and if there are any shadows on the Xray, she’ll need to perform a Sputum sample so the examiners can test for traces of infection. Both Xray and ULATS are done in Bangkok. There are links ok .gov.uk website for recognised centres.

On a Family settlement visa, your Wife can work from day 1 in UK, but is not entitled to any financial benefits. But she can register for a Dr on the NHS because that is why you pay the Healthcare Contribution Fee, approx £3000 now, along with the visa application fee, approx £2000…. Obviously prices will go up, but both NHS Fee and Visa Application fee will need to be paid for again when applying for the Extension visa and again when applying for Perm Residency….and the NHS fee is not offset if your wife works and pays Tax & National Insurance!

Good luck - hope you get your visa and have a happy life together 👍🏻

i certainly hope it’s not my girlfriend you’re planning to marry. if it is you should reimburse me for the money i’m spending. please send clear pictures of your girlfriend.

Put her in a dingy from France 🇫🇷 lose her passport and she’s in on asylum.

Go pick her up from Dover job done simple 🤷🏼

If she comes over in a dingy from France with no passport she’s in simple 🤷🏼

In the beginning i was an easy target blinded by sex and love. Then little by little i started to understand ,no money no honey even they love you maak,maak as they say ! I dont say that all thaiwoman are like that,only the 283 i was in relationship with the last 22 years.

Yes if on spouse visa

Yeah, but WILL she?))

Work.. yeah with the right visa.. you need to visit the government website not FB.

If on a boat - yes

Watch your steps. Love makes blind. In addition Thaï love makes stupid and paralyzed. Remember my words.

Get her to France find a small boat company to get her to the UK (there are plenty) then she can have a hotel NHS and some cash . If you're British with a Thai wife the UK government will make it expensive and hard.

You mean Twerk, right?

Went through this 24 years ago and wow how things have changed now, my wife's first visa 2 years. After spending 2 years in the UK as long has prove still together a visa upgrade to permanent leave to remain at no extra cost. Things sure different now

She is working. Catch falang is job

Gud luk going too Brittain and fineding eork.

When married in Thailand and you go through the right channels for a spouse visa when she arrives in the UK the only thing she is not eligible for is benefits. Can work as she can get a N.I. number and register at your GP surgery and get NHS service. But saying that it's a long and frustrating journey jumping through the hoops and haveing the right criteria ie house job and most of all money to support her.

Eork is frowned on as it involves dumb animals

Why would you want to take her from her beautiful Country and bring her to the UK shithole?

she wont wanna work she have farang husband 555😎💯

Being married doesn't give her any rights at all, she still has to be here 5-10 years doing a new visa every 2 1/2 years then passing English test first. For citizenship she has to pass life in UK test. You have to pay for all the visas and pay for citizenship and soon you will have to be earning £ years then passing English test first. For citizenship she has to pass life in UK test. You have to pay for all the visas and pay for citizenship and soon you will have to be earning £38000 a year to even qualify.

We just did it and it took 11 years altogether!

She can’t work for the first six months of your Visa then when you apply for a second Visa of two years she still can’t work for two years whatever else they’re saying on this page is bollocks. I’ve been there done.

No not till she has correct paperwork and it will cost you and its not cheap

On a Partner Visa, she can work, but has no recourse to public funds. She will pay tax and national insurance like everyone else, but to access the NHS, she will need to pay the NHS surcharge. If she gets a job with the NHS or works as a carer, that is refunded. A friend of a friend's wife was a degree educated restaurant manager in Thailand, and in the UK, serves behind the till at a bakers. She likes it. Another built a massage business from home in a village. Did a few free meditation sessions at the village hall, put on Thai food at the summer fete, and now the locals are queuing up at £60 a hour. I think you just need to complete a £1000 course in the UK to get the liability cover to into a business like that. But her husband is quite well off with a large property with room for a summer house as the "spa". I expect its quite a sociable occupation, getting to know the locals.

The wage in Thailand varies from 200 to 700 baht a day, a day ffs, my wife can earn that in an hour in the uk, sounds to me like someone has been burnt some what,

Why would you torture her like this? You're suppose to improve her life, not make it worst. England has bad weather, bad food, bad teeth, crazy inflation, some part of it is a bit racist, and she won't understand that working class accent. Also, there is a high chance that she will leave you when she starts working and interact with other guys. Come on, you gotta think this through.

Only on a spouse visa I’m going through this right now

Another one bites the dust

Just make sure when filling out her visa British is spelt with one t not two or they'll cancel it ⁉️😆

Bring her to the uk before you marry her , life’s good and easy in Thailand when your together things change when you come here , do a visitor visa first and see how it goes , but if your happy then ye she can work on a marriage/spouse visa but obviously not a tourist visa.

If you marry her through the British embassy consulate then she will have the same rights as any other British woman , when she arrives in the U.K. she will have the spouse visa and she will be able to work , I know this because I was married to a Thai woman 20 years ago .

Good luck

Good luck I could not even get a thai woman to visit on a holiday

It's probably best to get her 2X visitor Visa ...see if you meet all the criteria ...it's not easy but doable .

Then if everything goes well then go for the 2.5 yr Visa ...then she can work,but can't work with the visitors Visa ...there's English tests to be completed ...and the

Life In The UK test ...which most UK people would fail.

It's a 7/ 8 year ordeal for citizenship...then a Passport . Be prepared to spend over 10k

When my wife came here on a spouse visa she was able to work; not sure about a fiancé visa, though, if you’re planning on getting married here first. Would definitely be worth getting married over there before bringing her here and then get married here

Yes, but the stipulations to get visa are tough. I am struggling to get my wife in due to my wage level, got to be )30k plus

She can work if she has the correct visa to do so
