What are the requirements and best practices for applying for a visitor visa for my Thai partner to visit the UK?

Go to an agent

Done it quite a few times and it can seem daunting but fear not Do it step by step and you should be OK

The letter should have details of

Your relationship (how long)

Your residence in UK Send utility bills as proof

Your willingness to fully support your partner whilst in UK

Be polite Not over technical and hang on in there mate

It can take time

My ex Thai gf told me she wants me to bring her back to LA for a whole month so she can enjoy the socal life. I straight off told her I can do 2 wks max because she would bankrupt me. We broke up the next week because I choose not to be broke. So guys, don't bring your gf back to your home country. It is a lose-lose situation.

In my experience she must have strong ties to return back. This can be a letter from an employer she's worked with for some time, a house, children, business that makes a large profit or something strong that has to return to. I tried a few times without success and the relationship broke down. I'm glad in a way as it showed her true colours. In addition English at the interview would really help

I did this last year. Did through an agent. Lots of relationship evidence. Fortunately we applied when i was in phuket for few monthes. Were successful! 👍

My Thai wife has been to the UK several times.

I can some it up in 3 words.

Waste

Of

Money

1. Don't get over the jet lag and time difference.

2. Too cold.

3. Cant get real Thai food. Done a 50 mile radius of Thai restaurants and non of them were real Thai. They're all calmed down to suit the British pallet. One of the times she took a suitcase full of Mama soup. 🤦

4. No bum gun for the toilet. Be very prepared for this as it could possibly ruin your relationship.

5. Miss home.

6. You'll need to buy clothes for her that will be worn for the time she's there, then never worn again.

You get the best answers if you ask in a group dedicated to UK visa.

This group specialises in Thai visa.

Neil Mark Brown:- In the early 2000's when Linda Taylor was in charge of Visas at the British Embassy in Bangkok, it was proven that sfe was definitely Racist and Sexist! She was eventually discreetly "moved aside!" after hundreds of legitimate complaints!

Make sure you have a solid reason why she must return to Thailand at the end of her visit. Good luck

You can make the application yourself on her behalf. Done it twice. She will need to go to VFS for biometrics. Found the whole process very straightforward. Ignore all the "must own house", " must have degree" etc. Every application is judged on its own merits. Give me a shout if you want to chat 👍🏻

Niel,I've done it twice now for my partner..no issues really provided she can show she is returning,has work,money in her Bank account, previous good character and you provide a covering letter of invitation showing your solvent and will cover her for any unforeseen money issues whilst in UK.. the online application is easy to follow...DM me if any problems

Is she working? Own a house or other major assets in Thailand? Highly Educated? Degree?

All applications MUST be applied for here

She’ll need to make them believe she’s coming back ,a good job ,plenty of money in her bank ,kids family and home ect ect

You might have better advice if you ask in a group for "England/UK Visa Advice"...

Your partner needs to apply at VFS Global in Bangkok.

Neil Mark Brown:- Hire a rubber Dinghy in Calais, and head for Dover!! Sorry, mate; just being cynical! Not an easy venture!

Gov.uk provide all the information. Your main objective should be that she has a strong reason to return (job, family and property) and provide evidence.

If you live in the uk 🇬🇧 it isn’t easy ,,, if you live here in Thailand it is much easier, your only visiting the uk as tourists not residents.
