Jordan many tjhings can make your application for a UKvisa easy or almost inpossiible 1st does she have her own income 2nd money in bank . 3rd own a blue book 4th have name on land papers 5th own car or motor bike with papers in her name 6th if your sponsering her have you got money in the bank . What the UK visa need to know has she got enough to make her return to Thailand . If she has most of these things your in with a good chance let me know as theres quite a lot more to do but these in my opinion are the most important. If she doesent have the majority of this . Then this is a job for visa agents . 3 of my young friends have all successfully got their wives to the UK . None of them had anything to prove their return but somehow on paper they ownd bars and one a shop but they paid dear 40,000 50,000 baht if i remember. Good luck if i can help you inbox me

The better your job the more income you have and a good bank balance the easier it is to get a visa to almost anywhere in the world . Not quite the same for a person from the poor villages in Issan or any where in Thailsnd . You,rve got to prove that they,ve got some thing to return to Thailand for . I know many that have been refused because of not enough financal evidence . Also remembering everything you put in your application when you get yout telephone interview
