I’ve been seeing my Thai girlfriend for 5 months now and I want her to come to England for a couple of months, just to see if you could live there in the future. How do I go about doing this with visas? Do I have to book the flight 1st before I apply for the visa? Do i use any of these agents what say they can help or just do it myself? TIA for any information
TLDR : Answer Summary
To bring your Thai girlfriend to England for a couple of months, she will need to apply for a visitor visa. It's important to demonstrate that she has strong ties to Thailand, such as a job or family commitments, which ensure her return after the visit. It's not necessary to book a flight before applying for the visa, and while you can consider using an agency for assistance, many find it feasible to handle the process themselves.
