What are the visa requirements for a Thai fiancé marrying a British citizen in the UK and traveling back to Thailand?

Ya kow it is no wonder when Thai authorities monitor TV that their respect level for us all goes lower based on many unnecessary vulgar posts by obviously less desirable denizens be they local or foreign.

SAdly, it seems to me that genre is growing and many valuable folks are abandoning ship.

TV PLEASE filter a bit more and save the rest of us.

don t worry she probably has a few more bfs in the uk, so someone will get her a visa

If she has a Visitor visa she cannot apply for LTR in the UK. She will need to return to Thailand and apply for a Settlement visa. If she has a fiancee visa (in other words, she has taken the A1 English test, has a TB certificate and paid the NHS surcharge - and you have shown you meet the financial requirements), it's not an issue. You just marry and move on to the next stage.

She will have to do hours of homework and needs to speak English . you will both be interviewed.when we did it it cost 1,500 pounds in 2007 it's very complicated we failed the first time ....so cost us double . good luck meticulous paperwork needed ...

Marrying a British citizen doesnt give her the right to remain in the UK. As pointed out she will have to apply for 'leave to remain' before her visa expires.

It would be a decision for the UK to make so their immigration department would be the point of contact

So if u take a thai over on a 6 month visit visa u can apply for ilr ? I never knew that

@Steve ********

knows what he is talking about good advice

ask your local consulate or embassy . dont listen shit on here .

No it doesn't.

After you marry, you'll have to apply for "further leave to remain", which allows work etc.

After she's been in the UK for several years - and passed "life in the UK" and an English language exam - then she can apply for "indefinite leave to remain"

The precise timings have changed since we did it.

It'll be expensive (even doing it yourselves)

Her "leave to remain" is in the form of a residency card (along the lines of an American "green card") and serves as visa for entering the UK

When applying for each stage, you can print the forms and paperwork requirements from the gov.uk website.
