What is the process and cost for bringing a Thai girlfriend to the UK for a 4-week holiday?

Its not cheap, and far from guaranteed, and application fee is lost if refused, my gf was refused in 2004, 2005 and finally on 3rd attempt, having put a property in her name and stuck a wod of cash in her bank account they let her come in 2008, and its only got harder and more expensive since. The good news is, once you're successful, each year after is plane sailing, as long as she didn't over stay i guess

Sounds like all you lot in here do is argue,i though Thailand was for fun…chill out😇😇🥰

I did 4 tourist visas for my now wife. Lots of paper gathering yes. Word your sponsorship letter well. Key thing they want to know is you will cover all her costs during the visit including NHS. A plan to visit places, Stonehenge, London etc and that you will ensure she returns back before the visa expiry so not to jepodise future applications. Good luck.

Take photos together outside hotels. Visit and photo with her family. Build up proof of relationship.

Get hotel receipts in both names.

Ask in a UK visa group, to get the most exact and correct answers.

Sometimes it can be that the European party has not familiarized itself thoroughly enough with Thai conditions, such as holidays, where in Thailand it is common to only have less than 2 weeks of holiday per year, and when you are then invited to Europe for 3 months, it corresponds to 6 years of vacation that is burned off in one go, which there are probably not very many employers (not even European ) who will give, with a guarantee that there is a job to return to.

In addition, there are the social conditions where it can be difficult for a family to cope if 3 months' income disappears, plus there must be an amount corresponding to around 10 months' income in the bank account, plus travel costs.

Therefore, go slow and invite the Thai on a 2-4 week vacation, which will be the vacation of their life, to travel that long and that far away on vacation.

Tell her make her way to France and let her get on a bout cheap as chips

Contact me , my wife does this for a job in the UK

A lot

Do it yourself on website. Yoh need show she will return after visit , have letter from her employer , if she owns home prove it. Show you have enough money to support her, don’t waste money on agent

Send her to Calais and all will be sorted!

You will probably have to pay under the table to get her here...... Otherwise it will be nearly impossible.

Best bet is go to france and get one of those boats over they leave every day

Very very difficult unless she owns a house , good career and money 💰 and even then

You’d think it would be easy but it’s not.

I used an agent and it cost me around 15,000 baht for their fee and the visa fee.

I had to supply 6 months bank statements, a letter of sponsorship, proof of my employment and a letter / dated photos of how we met and proof of our relationship.

My GF had to send 6 months bank statements and also a letter telling her reasons for the visit and also reasons why she would be returning to Thailand, giving them proof of that

Documents then have to be scanned and signed and personally taken to Bangkok to UK immigration (contracted company) to be scanned onto their system and GFs passport handed in.

Visa was approved and came back within about 9 days.

She was given 6 month multiple entry

Paul King easy visa baht guaranteed 1st class service 👌

Go to UK gov website and follow instructions. She can apply for a tourist visa.

She will need provide proof that she will return to Thailand. Job, property etc. Its VFS that handles visa applications now not the embassy.
