What is the procedure for obtaining a UK visa for my Thai wife for a 3 to 4-week holiday?

@Lee **********

no visa agreement in place for Thais visiting UK.

Don't mess around ..use either MCT on ground floor friendly building soi 13 ,or Siam legal,both Bangkok

Contact the British Embassy

Make sure you have a reason why she'll need to return to Thailand. Getting my wife a visa, we showed that she had a house/home in Thailand. Also showed that we could financially afford the vacation/trip.

My name is John. I am a British and international lawyer with a law firm here in Thailand and in the UK. part of our services are UK, Visa and immigration, which our UK director has been engaged upon for 15 years. We offer a free no obligation consultation with our UK immigration director, based in the UK, who will go through the merits of the application, the evidence required and our professional fees package where applicable. The Sponsor, you, would have access to both myself here in Thailand and to our UK Director back in the UK. Whilst the applicant would have access to our Thai lawyers and staff for any assistance she needs some of whom have been through the process themselves and have lived and worked in the UK. Should you require any further information please take a look at our website or drop me an email to the following, all of our UK visa applications are regulated by the solicitors regulatory authority in the UK, I hope this helps

If she has a job or business to return to then it will be easy. If not it can be very hard. You need to how enough money to support her plus convince them that she has reson to return.

I don’t know if it had changed or not but I did this 12 years ago took 2 attempts

I was refused the first time by someone who I found out later was refusing every application

I did all the paperwork myself it’s very important to have proof that you have been together for a considerable time

Photos with dates on

E mails printed out

Proof of phone calls

Places that you have been together

Also proof that she has a reason to return to Thailand family or a business

Also proof that she can support herself in the Uk photo copy her bank book make sure there is more than enough funds to support her stay in Uk

Also book return air tickets but be careful if you are refused then have to apply again this takes time so book well ahead or have tickets that you can change if needs be

Also a letter of reference or good character

Also your bank account details proving that you have a decent amount of money

Photo copy and print everything the more the better

Then put it in a folder and make a appointment to apply for visa we had to go to Bangkok

All the best of luck hope hope everything goes well for you

Message me when live in the UK and my Thai wife does visas

is it ok you take my filipina wife as well?

Apply British Embassy.. you’ll get a 6 month visa

Get a flight to France then stick her in a rubber dingy. No visa needed and they actually pay her

Who ever tells you it's easy has never been through the Process ...I've done all the visa applications up to getting my wife a UK passport... definitely use a agent for the first time...it's a ball ache but so worth the cost.

I need to make sure U have money to support her.

Also make sure she has some money 2 months prior to doing a visa .

Show any house , land , property in her name

Sho a reason why the UK should believe she will return to Thailand like a child left behind , a good job. Etc

I've taken 3 separate girls to UK never married to them.

Last time I used an agent 20k and from walking into the office to land in the UK 2 weeks

Normally a visa agreement is in place so I would have assumed 30 days tourist is no issue, chinese come in the 100's, so does everyone else for that matter 😉

Almost impossible. Check the Govt website for requirements.

My son's new thai wife answered all questions..definitely doesn't want to stay in uk..he hopes to move there at some stage..he just wants to introduce her to his family...using an agent and still a red tape nightmarec

What's her incentive to go back?

It's easy. Do the application online through the embassy, answer every question, attach relevant documents, then she attends VFS (currently in Soi 13, but I think they're moving soon) to do biometrics. Pay the dosh and you're laughing

There is quite a lot of paper work to be got together and then the online form for VFS in Bangkok . That is the service the UK Gov uses to check visa applications and do the Iris and Fingerprint scans .. So I would suggest you use an agent for first time application for a 6 month tourist visa . Probably around 25 to baht .

Do thru the uk government web site not agent ! The key bits are. Answer ever question Put prof on every question. If she works get a letter from her employer saying she on vacation. If she own home show this. What they are looking for is that she will return after, that you have enough money to support her, With the gov agency it’s a tick box situation so overkill on info , bank accounts savings etc Took 3 weeks to get a 6 month multi entry. Then 2 weeks to get a further 2 year multi entry

Just check on website details quite thouroughly what to do. Follow that and submit.

My wife did one last year took about 2 to 3 weeks to get.

No idea what means

You will have the difficult task to prove to the UK authorities that your wife has exceelent reasojs to exit UK at the end of her visa. eg, good job in Thailand (letter from employer stating the period of her leave and the lenght of her employment), own house in Thailand (or lomg term rental agreement), need to return to look after child, parent or close relative, proof of ealier travel showing abiding by visa conditions. Difficult for a Thai wife to get UK/US/Australian visa. All have similar requirements.

I would suggest the first application to go through an agent as their is a lot of paperwork to provide.

How do you do three quarters of a holiday?

Probably best to ask in a group that specialises in just that scenario. Here’s one for an example.
