How can I help my Thai girlfriend get a visitor visa to London?

very difficult I'd guess .....

Take your time doing the application, read the requirements, just really have to prove that she is going to return back to thailand and has a reason to return, we got rejected first time we tryed, our fault ,did not follow every thing they required and should have included more information for them to be happy with. After this ,did the 5 year route visa for her to stay here and live with me. Now applying for citizenship as she been allowed to remain here for ever. If I did it any one can,people are lazy and can't be bothered to follow the rules,

If you recently met her in a bar, forget it. Been supporting her for a while, maybe.

Put another shimp on the barbie

Mine had 4 visit visas. Follow the instructions, provide the evidence. Write a good sponsor letter along with a proposed visits of landmarks/places you plan to show here. Confirm she will return home and not be to any cost to the UK system.

My girlfriend has been to the UK 3 times now, once on a 6 months visa and then the next 2 times on the same 2 year visa. We never had any trouble with applying for he visa, we did all the application ourselves without the use of an agent. The UK government website has a list of things it needs and we gave them exactly what they asked for.

How about you do some research, look at the immigration website of your country and see the requirements FFS.

Easy. If you read the application process and provide all the evidence of relationship, income and reason she will return .

If I read correctly, you are just looking to take her for a short vacation.

I would hope it’s not difficult. ???

Aren't the illegals in the UK mostly from the old British Empire? They should already be citizens 5555.

Not as impossible as everyone would want you to believe.

You don't need to put money in her account.

Although employment and financial obligations to Thailand (therefore a need to return) are important, it's possible without.

My girlfriend has been to the UK with my twice now. The first time, she had no official employment. She just sells doll accessories on Facebook and Instagram so her only "employment" proof was screenshots of her business pages and some transactions.

We didn't put any money in her bank account either.

We just filled out the paperwork with obsessive attention to detail. We provided sponsorship screenshots and said she would be sponsored for £100 a day. So the sponsors bank account needs to show that they could easily afford to sponsor the Thai citizen for £100 per day. If she's staying for a month? Sponsor needs to show that £3000 is no problem for them to spend.

A good invitation letter is imperative. Explain why you want her to come, provide plenty of photos as proof of relationships. Provide an itinerary of what sort of things you want to do.

It's a long and arduous process but it's well worth it and the requirements on your girlfriend's side are nowhere near as difficult as people say.

My girlfriend's been with me to the UK on two visas now.

Just take a boat from France apparently no visa needed so I heard.

Just get her to go to Calais, it's easy, don't need a visa and get free hotel for her visit, full board 😆

Very difficult

I tried with my gf .provided all the evidence bank statements. Documents from the Thai authorities.. refused on the grounds they didn't believe the evidence I provided .!!!

I don’t know about England but live in Australia and it was best to go through a visa agency in Thailand cost me about $500 Australian and they took her to Bangkok and stayed with her for the whole process

Shouldn’t be hard at all most people come on dingys with no passports and they get let in just fine sure she’ll be okay

It will be easier to fly her to France and put her in a dinghy from Calais 👍👍

Ive got a 6 months visa for my girlfriend to come back to england with me

Back in 2005 we got a students visa for her so she attended a language school in Windsor (already spoke Engish) but was a good route to uk.

after that 2 years we applied for another visa, sorry can’t remember which and then after that got Uk passport. Think once she had been here 5 years.

Was bit of a pain but can be done fairly easily when I think back.

Good luck!

If you both fit the criteria it's not that hard to do It is just time consuming

Just follow the online instructions and make sure you have your ducks all lined up before you start

Put her on a boat she don’t need visa or passport

So easy

It took me 5 years to get wife and son here.just throw money at home office and U will someday succeed. Get a good lawyer.a expensive one.

It definitely can be done if you have a real relationship with her. Get lots of stamps in her passport. Once they see a history of you two traveling they will be more likely to give her a visa. So before you apply take her to Vietnam, Philippines, Japan, Maldives, Bali, Singapore, etc etc. All the Asian countries are easy to take her too. Then they will see she is not a flight risk. Also deposit money into her account every month. I transfer all my monthly income into my gf’s account and we live off of that. Many here will think I’m crazy but I could afford to lose 100k baht if she ran off and it would be a small price to pay for learning the truth. Another option is join a tour group from Thailand the first time you go there. According to my friend who runs one only about 1% get denied. After the first trip there it’s easy the next time. Another idea is to fly into Germany or France. They will give her a longer visa such as a six month or a year. Other countries in Europe will only give her a visa for the amount of time you request such as a few weeks. Once in France or Germany easy to go to the UK.

Hope these ideas help. Good luck.

Why? Doesn't she want to go? 555

Just get her to fly to France then buy her an inflatable and get her to sail across making sure she dumps her passport and ID in the sea before she lands! The UK government prefers illegals to legals so might as well play the system as it’s difficult to get a legal into the UK for some bizarre reason.

We were successful last year. Used an agency to ensure we were successful. Lots of evidence of our 5 year relationship. Her company were very good letting her have time from work. Had 45 great days in the uk.

@Joe *************

recently did a video on this subject.

You’d think since we (uk) can get 60 days visa free here they’d have a mutual visa thing for Thais wanting to visit uk. Tell them she’s from Syria or something claiming asylum, they let her in easier.

Me and my gf gave up on the idea so we just staying put in Thailand and my family will visit here instead.

I found it fairly straight forward for both the 6 month and the 2 year visitor visas. Just time consuming gathering and preparing all the paperwork to upload.

I’m American, but I suspect the criteria is similar. They’re not particularly interested in where your GF will be staying, etc. They want to see proof that she has a life in Thailand that she does not want to abandon. Caring for a mother, kids, perhaps a house. These things will bring her back to Thailand. That’s what they want to see.

A hell of a lot easier than taking my gf to California for a trip to visit my family and friends lol

😂 depends if you buy her the ticket yourself because you will tell you she lost it

Just put her on a small boat in France...all free then.

Ask in a UK visa group, for most acurate and up-to-date informations.

Msg me , my wife does these thai- UK

Hope you have a big bank ac

Use an agency it's much easier ,

@Wanpen ***

, is highly recommended.

My gf has no wish you visit UK, which I good as I have no wish to subject her with all the hurdles and humiliation of obtaining a visa when a Brit can visit Thailand so easy, and is made so welcome, it's embarrassing.

Pain in the a&&, even when you're married

Hire an agent for 3000 thb. It'll save you the hassle. My Thai girlfriend was just granted a visa and it required a lot of documents and proof

Tell the government she‘s from Syria or Afganistan and she‘ll have everything.

its important that she can either prove to have enough money or u will have to prove that u can pay for everything and that she had reason return to thailand (working contract (is the best), family, other duties). they are mainly afraid that no one can pay for her and that she wont go back.. (strange thinking)

Easy through a contact I have in BKK name Audy.

I did 2 visitor 6 months Visa for my then partner ...she had no job ,no money in her account.

She had 2 children which showed that she would return to Thailand.

What I gathered is that they needed to know that :

You would support her financially for the duration of the visit .

That you had 20k in the bank for at least 6 months.

Covering letters from friends and family.

Lots and lots of photos

We then just followed what was on the Web site .

What I also noted was that different Immigration officers wanted different paperwork .

Be patient with them,it's infuriating as they ask ridiculous questions and throw most of your 4x copies in the bin.

If it was me I would use Paul King ...he makes life easier the 1st time around.You don't get a.second chance .

Stop calling her your girlfriend helps

Fly to France , buy her a dingy ….. don’t need visa and get free hotel and money .

Just go to India india instead. It feels, looks and taste just like Mumbai

If she has a stable job, decent savings and has a house or condo in her name then she'll be fine

Why Think London Thailand ?? Kindly

Not enough information.

Is your girlfriend a long term government employee who owns her own house and has all her taxes up to date, or, is she a freelancer, massage or bar girl that does everything in cash?

Why she wouldn't like the uk crap place now

Not easy a lot of hoops t jumps through and the requirements are ridiculous.

Easy

Not difficult at all. You can complete the application online on her behalf but she will need to attend the VFS office (in Bangkok or Chiang Mai) to get her biometrics taken. The key factor is showing that she has a genuine reason to return to Thailand after her visit - like a job. She does not need to have money. If you are sponsoring her visit, you will need to show that you have enough money to cover her trip and somewhere for her to stay.

To Thais, UK and US embassy are their worst nightmare. UK embassy will provide a personal essay to you explaining the denial reasons very clearly in case of disapproval

Two years for the USA

If she has all the requirements needed, then no problem. She can just apply herself. If not you can sponsor her trip.

Do you mean the Visa Application process ? or getting her to go to London on an all expenses paid trip ? i would imagine the latter wont be too hard…

NOT EASY!!!!

Not difficult if you have all the bits. Start collecting phots together outside hotels. Phots with her family. They need to know her reasons for needing to return after. Plan well ahead.

Depends on her credentials.

Career, savings fund, tide to

Thailand etc.

Go to thailand

Pretty easy.

The most difficult part is going to Bangkok for her fingerprints.

Just follow all of the instructions.

I also included a letter from my parents because we were staying with them.

Plus, I put 100,000 baht into her bank account about 1 month before the application.

I'm also living in Thailand on a retirement visa. Perhaps that helps?

Very...... look at the requirements.
