What is the success rate of holiday visas for a Thai partner traveling to the UK?

Get photos together in front of hotel and house. Also photos with family. Apply with the view SH needs to return to Thailand. Go for a two or five year visa allowing six months per year

I’ve never had a problem getting visas for different girlfriends or my wife. Do the research and provide what they want.

I’ve done it 5 times over the last 8 years and all 5 were successful. As long as you can prove that you can support her for the duration of the trip and that she has something to go back to then there should be no problem.

I got my wife over on visitors visa a couple of times - successfully. She's now here on spose visa. Difficult for them to settle as culture is very different. Immigration officer will be looking at how she is paying for the trip and does she have a reason to return to Thailand. I used an agent who was very good.

Big factors are financial stability in Thailand and reason why she will return. If you apply for her to stay 3 weeks, even though the visa is 6 month validity, staying longer than 3 weeks is considered a breach. If this happens I'd advise you to contact UKBA. The staff at Cardiff are excellent and will advise accordingly. Those of you who say it's not a breach I had first hand experience of a visitor being detained by immigration in England for staying longer than her application length of stay. I've also had experience of getting a visa for a lady that overstayed 9 years!!! The reason her overstay was discounted was because the application was made quote" in pursuit of family life". There are full guidelines and visa laws/immigration on Government website. Google UK visa and immigration rules.

Apologies if I am being negative but you will be sending money to Thailand weekly.

The sisters will never stop asking.

Set a fixed budget and stick to it.

Not a baht more.

The UK government is a joke. We try pay for a girl to come here , get rejected but all those boats just come in and get whatever.

I did an application for someone and they rejected it because she "had some money not declared from her salary". Absolute joke. So what, we all have money from places that isn't our salary.

So told her not to bother, their loss on the money we would have spent all over. I'm leaving here soon anyway, told her it's an awful country now.

My Thai girlfriend is in the UK now.

I used an agent , and had no issues.

just got a tourist visa for girlfriend through an agent, cheap and straightforward

Relatively easy so long as you can show ample proof for reason to return. (For proof we showed that we have 2 businesses here, a house, 2 condos and take care of her parents and sisters children.) Once you've gotten a visa, every visa after that is like a walk in the park from that point after (so long as you do not break the rules of the visa, such as overstaying)

I would avoid agents if you can, they can't actually help you get the visa, they are just doing your paperwork and giving you guidance which you can easily obtain from pages like this.

Better pay for agency to do it for the first time สะใภ้อังกฤษ UK join this group and they will help you out.

No as easy when my wife was girlfriend I tried to bring her to uk for visit to see if she would like UK

She had son but no job

We had a large folder of proof of relationship still turned down as risk of not returning to Thailand

We are married and she is now a British citizen

I think the pregnancy could go against you. Is she likely to have the baby during her stay in the UK? I think this would be viewed negatively.

Done all this 30 years ago. Took 4 attempts for a residence visa. Lots of hard work. Lots of paperwork work all correctly presented. Do not use any type of agency. I believe it's far more difficult these days but never give up

My wife rents a massage shop, doesn't own a house, has a 10 year old Fiesta, a 25 year old daughter, 4 cats to take care of and spent time in a Malaysian prison for immigration offences nearly 5 years ago. She had no issues getting a holiday visa a few weeks ago, being completely upfront, providing details of her old passport and the Malaysian stamps. We used an Agent who was pretty doubtful of success. He tried to get me to write a flowery letter based on what one of his customers wrote. I binned that, wrote a perfunctary letter, sticking to the facts, ie purpose of visit, where she will be staying, my financials. Unless many other recommendations, I didn't provide the Home Office with any running commentary of private messages. Its none of their business. I think my wife showed some photos of us, but I didn't bother. It might have been because we chose to marry; Thai marriage perfectly legal in the UK. I'm also nowhere near retirement, though I technically could in Thailand. The visa application is checked by VFS; remember there is no appeal, so they can turn down for whatever reason they like, including taking too long to assess the application. But, the agents are recommending, for the first time, keep the stated dates for the visit to 4-6 weeks, and stick to those dates. My wife said she was coming for 6 weeks, and got a multientry 6 month visa. I'm not sure all 6 month visas are multientry, or if some are still single entry.

Got one last year for my Girlfriend first attempt, she has a daughter that was with her father in America while she was in the UK and a business here

Getting a UK visa is very easy, but it depends on the purpose of your visit. I’m Thai, and I always get visas everywhere in the world, but my purpose is always genuine. My purpose is to travel for pleasure, and I have a return ticket. I have been to Europe more than 14 times

I understand that the success rate is high, as long as she submits a properly prepared application and as

@Robert ***********

says has a good reason to return to Thailand. She will need to demonstrate she has the finances to cover the trip (or you do if you're her sponsor). Good luck!

I dont think the class kids as a good reson to return if that's what your thinking.. Property and good jobs.

Done it 4 times, including for the girlfriends daughter. It's not hard. Success rates are published by the Government and it's about 95% that are successful. Don't listen to all the people telling you it's impossible or hard because it isn't. You just need to get all the documents together and the evidence you provide needs to match up with what you write on the application form. You should not mention things that you can't back up with paperwork.

You can message me if you want any tips. Don't pay an agent, if you do, make sure they are registered with the government and not a backstreet chancer

Not very good mate I've tried three times to get my wife here The last time we put more information then what was needed I had double the amount of sponsor money we gave an accountable story file with over 200 photos with all the stress I'd had a major heart attack even put my notes in from the hospital and the bastards in 42 hours from doing a fingerprint my wife got a denied letter again The thing was she was denied on wrong grounds she has a young brother she looks after she has two businesses and this more run called Sheffield stated she had no dependants to return to Thailand for wasn't happy and said her businesses were not active but if it looked in the file she had declared about looking after the brother and Google locations of the businesses with up-to-date photos of customers so I am guessing it's just a lucky draw game to whether you will get it they are clamping down big time And the thing is my heart attack was so severe I can't fly so we can't be together? Good luck as all I can say

PM me, I just got my wife and stepson their visas and it only took two weeks

I don’t think the success rate is great tbh. She needs to own land have have a decent job to return to. These show she a tourist in UK. Or you can apply for a fiancé visa which might be easier.

It's all about reason to return.

Has children - good.

Has land/property - good.

Has a job with permission letter to take a holiday - good
