TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of applying for a holiday visa to the UK for a Thai girlfriend varies in difficulty based on individual approaches. Some individuals have reported success applying themselves by thoroughly preparing their application and supporting documents, while others opted to use an agent to simplify the process. Generally, the key to a successful application lies in meticulous attention to detail, ensuring all requirements are met, which can lead to approvals for visits lasting up to 6 months or longer.

I applied twice on her behalf. 1st was a 6 month then a 2 year. It was just a matter of paperwork, crossing the 't' s and spotting the 'i' s

We found it really easy to do ourselves. 6 months no problem.

Done it twice, she is here now for 6 months. I used an agent both times approximately 30k Baht. But a lot less hassle.

Go to the online application and make very detailed notes of every requirement then ensure your application addresses every requirement in full and is supported with documented proof attached.

You register on the government Visa website and that gives you the link to the online application site (VFS Global)
