Hello guys how do i go about getting my girlfriend visa to come to uk she lives in laos
Answer summary
To help your girlfriend from Laos obtain a visa to the UK, consider applying for a visitor or fiancé visa. You may choose to use an agent based in Bangkok, but many commenters suggest handling the application yourself to save on fees. When applying, prepare invite letters, personal correspondence, and documents that demonstrate your financial situation and living arrangements. It's crucial to emphasize her ties to Laos, including details about her job and assets, to assure the authorities that she will return after her visit.

Do it yourself on line. Just make sure you over kill on answers. Most important show gf has job and property if you can. Show you have enough money to keep her. State the obvious “ she will return to home country before visa expires “. Don’t waste money on agents. It’s quite simple

If you’re not scared of a bit of work you can do all this without the need of an agent. They basically do nothing for xxxx Baht 30k? and they aren’t allowed into the centre on the day of the appointment, so it’s money for nothing. I did it all myself through the UK immigration website and got her a 2 year visa. You can declare you are filling this out on her behalf and just provide as much info as possible, the more the better with photos etc of your time together. Provide a covering letter explaining why she is visiting and that you accept full financial responsibility for her and they will focus mainly on your financial situation. She didn’t have to provide any financial information at her appointment in Bangkok, she was in and out in 15 minutes with no drama.

Yup. My girlfriends come with me to the UK twice now and we did it all ourselves. Not sure why people are so keen on using agents when it sounds like they still have to do all the same things we did (Invite letters, financial info, proof of housing etc). Not entirely sure what the agent does?

. I agree, I think there is a lot scare mongering locally and on social media making it sound difficult and have more chance with an agent. But the reality is it’s a nice little earner for not doing a great deal, easy money. And I think if you’ve got your head screwed on you can do a better job yourself for cheaper, a no brainer really. Having said that it didn’t stop us sweating for a week on the passport returning to find out if it had the visa in it or not 🤣

Apply for visitor or fiance visa. Use an agent in Bangkok. You need to write invite letters, share personal correspondence, provide financial information and proof of uj housing. Your gf is Laotian, from Laos, helps to spell that correctly in the application. She needs to give details of jobs, assets, dependants. Agents will advise to put 100k baht in bank to show uk
