What are the best strategies for obtaining a UK visa for a Thai fiancée after multiple refusals?

quit calling her "fiancee" because your embassy doesn't give a ruckus on how you call her. Get the proper proofs for her and apply for a visitor visa

Marry Her

Buy her a plane ticket to Mexico. She can walk across the boarder and the pedocrat nazis will give her instant full citizenship, house, car, free salary. Then she can travel anywhere. For real though.

The uk is allowing thais to go to uk for holidays visa free at some point

Get married and get a good immigration lawyer. Gonna cost you money because 3 rejections will be tough to overcome

Use a visa company in bangkok .

If it was your first attempt...you must prove a connection....pictures together.....send her money....prove of correspondence....most of all....tell the truth....you would be supporting her and show them the funds in your stash ....but since it's the forth attempt, am guessing you have been economic with the truth ...only course now is a agent and am thinking that would be a complete waste of money....as far as the British embassy is concerned now, You've had your go and your blacklisted for 5 years....in my humble opinion 😕

UK visa rules are now stupidly enforced as the IO try to cling on to the tiny bit of power they have left, as everyone else can see UK Home office is not fit for purpose.

No guarantee even if your married.

I know someone who got refused.

Dont sponsor. Say she is single and just wants a holiday, helps if she gas a job and other things to come back to, tell her to open another bank account and send money each month into it name it holiday fund this will show that she been planning a holiday, also only book 10 days holiday so just need to show around £120 a day spending with some extra, you can then change the flight as the Visa will be for 6 month

Don't Bring her to the Ununited Kingdom.....You'll ruin her

Have her travel to other countries for many years first to prove she can respect visa laws

Look at getting her a fiancé visa, it’s a lot easier to get compared to a tourist visa. You have to prove you are in a genuine relationship and if you have been together for 5 years that should not be a problem

Once the visa has been issued then you have 6 months after she arrives to get married here and then convert it into a spouse visa

This route is the easiest way for you to get your gf here

100% her buffalo is sick that's why she can't go

Get a good get a good visa company I heard there is very good ones in Pattaya. Good luck

Did you apply yourself or use an agent?

I applied myself the first time, and I was also rejected. I went to an agent and she solved it first go.

The clues are in the rejection letter.

But make sure she has at least baht going in and out of her account every month.

3 months statements.

Another 0 baht in savings.

A letter from her job or self employment.

A letter from you soonsor saying you will support her.

3 months statements of the sponsors showing £1500 a month going in and out

A ststement shoejng £5000 in savings

Passport

Hire an agent, they know what is required

Pay a visa agent it’s the only way

Get married, I think this will increase chances. Just my opinion.

Go to France, jump in a dingy, claim Aslym and the British tax payer will pay for health care, food, housing and education.

Or you could just get married.

Everyone wants to bring young girl back to show her off never met a girl that wanted to go out of thailand

Give me a pm I quarantee I got the correct connection for UK visa.

Any recommendations on good agents then guys?

From my experience you mustn’t have satisfied immigration with enough information to approve the Visa. If you give them more than they need usually no problem. 😉

Well that’s in Australia but both commonwealth.

Why not take her to the UK on holiday then become a migrant like the rest I'll rather be living in Thailand than that country 🤔

Lawyer.

Just get an lawyer in Bangkok.

Been through it contact a immigration lawyer ..

Uh, hire an immigration lawyer?

Hi burt what reasons did they give you ? Our first one was refused we got some bad advice and are just about to reapply I believe the office in Bangkok is moving on the 18th this month so may wait until just after the move and then wait a long 4 weeks for answer

Visitor visa first then apply for spouse visa.

The UK make it very difficult so apply from Thailand but the documentation and photos and bank statements and money sent to support her proof of all this.

Plus alot of other documents.

Try speaking to agency visa in Thailand they are very helpful. And it's cheaper than the UK

Get to France then it's easy

It's a numbers game .They can't control illegal immigration,so they are being real a,holes twisting facts to enable even half a reason to deny .Believe me,the visa processors for Thailand to UK have quotas. Most of the time processing is done in New Delhi...guess where their favours go to

Why would you even drag some one over to the UK it's a hole

I started seeing a Thai woman in January 2023 ,got her a visa to visit me in June 2023 filled in all the paperwork,she had her own business and a daughter so she had to go back to Thailand .

We used a visa agent the first time to learn the ropes. Done several for ourselves since including for her sons. This is for Australia which is basically the same requirements. Give them everything on the list. Don't leave anything out. Even statutory declarations.

Dont even try with Thai to much shit will cost you big money

My girl friend and now wife has had 9 visitors visa with no issues! It is important that the form is filled in truthfully and accurately to their status or it does get refused if not truthfully done ? You need to show they have something to go home for! And not coming to try and stay!

If it is for a temporary stay and If you know a business person in UK then let them invite her to UK.

Just find a Thai lady that has a visa or that's already in country

Its your home country trying to do you a favour.

Just asking . Why not live in Thailand it's easier if you want to be together??

Why has it been refused? It may help if you state this so people can advise you. I’ve just got my girlfriend a 5 year visa, this is the third visa in a row I have got for her with no issues, 2 previous visas we used an agent, then I figured I could do it all myself. It’s knowing exactly what you need to prepare and present in the application.

A good reason for her to return,own a home have kids and family,a good job, a healthy bank account always helps possibly insurance for the duration of her trip

Have a chat with these people. Adrian is v knowledgable and you won’t get ripped off. But it’s a long bureaucratic process as this UK govt doesn’t want people coming here

You can apply for a fiancé visa to get married in the UK

I got 6 month in 3 weeks. The. 2 year multi entry took 2 weeks. The key is to overkill on all answers. Show she will return after visit. Like letter from her employer. Show she had job. Show she had gone to done bzck too show you have enough money to keep her. It’s long winded. But if you answer questions with lots of paperwork. It better than little or none. It’s normally done by outside agency and is a tick box job. You need make sure you can tick all boxes

The invitation letter seems to be important. Likely more information needs to be included establishing relationship than if you are married. Agents might have the templates that work, though my understsanding is keep it to the facts and be concise. As indicated, establishing ties to Thailand is important; dependants, property (including a car or motorbike!), if self employed, evidence of business registration etc. Also, limit the period of the visit in the application, even though visas are issued for 6 months. 10 years of travel history is considered, so if she has no travel history, try and get some. eg a weekend in Hong Kong or Singapore. She needs no visa for these places, and HK/Singapore Immigration is highly regarded in London. Well, anyhow that's my plan as my wife has such a terrible immigration history. I fully expect her to be rejected, but can only give it my best shot.

5 years engaged is a huge red flag in so many ways

Use an agent

5 years as fiance and not married is probably the issue

It's not just Thai partners, things have tightened up, marriage is no guarantee, I know someone who was an invalid and even he struggled to get his now wife in.

Visitor visa or Settlement visa? There is no requirement to be married for either.

I have doubts an agent will help much. I have seen an agent try to give false employment information that was so obviously fake she could have been banned. Face it, Thais are presumed guilty and in the US there is no place on the application to present bank statements or show you won’t overstay. There are too many applicants and too few officers and time, so they simply don’t care.

Try someone called Ploy Regal Swan she gets some good results,she is good english speaking as well and knows the visa system,drop her a message

They refused my thai girlfriend twice so we got married in Thailand and within 5 months she was in the uk

Don’t go for the maksimum number of days, but something where you take into account,

that Thais only have 1-2 weeks of holiday a year,

she has probably a family to support, so how long time can the family be without that income.

How long would an employer be willing to give her leave of absence / holiday, without she looses the job,

Does she have the right kind of job ( bargirl is low on the list )

that are a vital part of the things that should tie her stronger to Thailand than UK

To stay together for a longer period, it will be much easier for the european to stay long time in Thailand.

Maybe give up it is not eligible.

Still a Fiancee after 5 years, maybe you should make up your mind. I would be worried if I was asking her the relevant questions?

Does she speak English, if not it will be difficult

I would advise to use a visa agent.. they will recommend what answers to give.. for example the not having a valid reason to return to Thailand is one of most common reasons to get rejected. You need to have lots of valid reasons or they’ll just reject your application every time. This could include having a job, business, house, pets, strong family ties etc. obviously most people have those things but you need to explain it on the application. Best of luck. My wife got rejected twice, then we used an agent, now I do it myself. She’s been to the UK 3 times 🙏

Does she have a job? And a job to come back too???

No job no visa! I went through the whole process last year. Which was successful. I used agent. And they were brilliant. Tons of paperwork. But got there in the end!

Maybe try an agent.

Join one of the boats going across the channel. When you get there you will get a free house, free phone and weekly allowance.

Is marriage a way around? Then do it. 5 years engaged?

Australia is hard too. Est thing is make sure she has sufficient funds and ties to to Thailand that shows she will return.

Sometimes it's best to give up as it's not meant to be

The key to problem , a letter from her employer granting her time off and expecting her to return to post, assuming it’s a just a visiting visa she wants.

@Burt *******

bulk her bank account up and do a support visa Burt

i would consider just moving to thailand or another country, UK seems like a hellhole anyway
