Hi Guys,
Scottish guy here, I married a Thai national back in June of this year. I'm going back to Thailand 26th December what is my best option in regards to visa? I was going to apply in Scotland for my Tourist Visa then once in Thailand apply for a Non O Visa. Is this the best option as advised to me previously? I was told that less paperwork was asked for at the IO in Thailand compared to the Uk. Also I want to bring my wife back to the UK after our holiday in Turkey does anyone know how long it takes to get a tourist visa for the UK. She is pregnant at the moment but our child will be born by this time.
Many Thanks In Advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Scottish national married to a Thai citizen is seeking advice on the best visa option for returning to Thailand. He plans to apply for a Tourist Visa before transitioning to a Non-O Visa, as suggested due to potentially less paperwork in Thailand compared to the UK. Additionally, he intends to bring his pregnant wife to the UK after their holiday, inquiring about the timeline for obtaining a UK tourist visa, with responses indicating approximately one to two weeks for processing and the necessity of submitting applications in person.
