Quick question if you want your wife or girlfriend to come to the UK for a holiday applying for a holiday Visa. How long does the process normally take? When you put the papers in to get in a reply. To whether she passes or not

Answer summary

The processing time for a UK holiday visa from Thailand varies based on individual circumstances, but generally, it can take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks post biometric submission in Bangkok. Several commenters reported different timelines, with some receiving a decision in as little as 7 days and others waiting up to 6-8 weeks. Many emphasized that after biometrics are submitted, responses typically come within 2-3 weeks.

sorry to hear that but thanks for replying and giving me some timeline idea I was told if you try to do it yourself they do tend to reject it and yet the same papers that got rejected when eventually you have to pay out to an agent tends to get stamped?

If I remember correctly, they were quoting answer in 1-3 weeks following the biometric interview.
