ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi there! I need to make one visa for the UK and one visa for France for my Thai girlfriend who will be visiting in September. What is the best strategy for the best chances to get those visas, knowing she is not working at the moment and doesn't have any property or business to her name? Thanks for your answers!

No chance at all. What they look for is reasons to return. She has none, so she is high risk category.

Sorry but unless she can convince the embassy in Bangkok then they will say no to her

@John *******

You don’t go anywhere near an “embassy” to get a visa and the visa application is sent to India to be processed.

I have done it 5 times with my Thai girlfriend and you don’t have to go to any embassy anywhere. I can read very well.

I don't care if you have gone 100 times ok I don't give a fuck about you and your girlfriend, when I got the visa for my wife I had to go to the British embassy in Bangkok when they had one before they put it up for sale and proof that I was not married and my wife was going to come back to Thailand

Ok so you must be giving information that’s out of date. Things change John and just because you did something 20 years ago doesn’t mean it’s the same now. Giving old WRONG information that was right once is still WRONG.

Considering she not have any strong ties in Thailand will be near impossible. And it's two separate visa you need for her, one for UK and one for schengen.

Even if you do get a visa you need to be prepared for refusal at border when you arrive border control can refuse entry

You already know she needs to convince the UK immigration that she will return to Thailand, she has a slim to get a visa without strong ties, in the comments someone mentioned Paul King his services are excellent, however, you must provide him the basic information and from you say it looks bleak.

I got one Visa for England in 2024 and one for 2025 both for my wife. The company who did this was Easy Visa in Pattaya and the agent is Paul King. Asto what you need to make it work I don't know and you'd have to ask Mr. King. Best of luck.
