To any UK friends.

I will submit my wife's documents for spouse visa for UK.

Now will she get a stamp on passport like she did on her tourist visa or a letter of some sort.

Iam just wondering what proof she will have when she enters UK for imagration.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a UK spouse visa, your wife will receive a visa sticker (often referred to as a 'vinegarette sticker') in her passport, which will indicate the type of visa and the valid from date. This sticker serves as proof for her entry into the UK and should be presented to immigration upon arrival. Additionally, she will receive a letter outlining the next steps once she arrives in the UK, which includes collecting her Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) from a local post office within 10 days of arrival. It's important to note that the visa sticker is valid for 3 months from the valid from date, and she must enter the UK within that period.

Your wife shall receive a letter and her Thai passport shall have a sticker (visa) inserted on a page.

OK to be clear. If she is successful in her application when she collects her passport back from VFS it will have a vinegarette sticker in it like the one someone else showed. The valid from date on that is the first date she can enter the UK. That is all she needs to enter the UK on a spouse visa. The vinegarette will say what kind of visa it is. The vinegarette sticker is valid for 3 months so she must enter the UK within that time limit. You will also get a letter which will tell you what to do in the UK. Basically once in the UK she will need to collect her Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) from a local post office. That will be valid for 30 months and will have an expiry date on it. She will use the BRP with her passport if she leaves and returns to the UK.

I know when she got tourist visa she had a sticker on her passport that's how I was wondering if spouse visa same idea.

It's just when she come UK for 30 months she needs to show something to UK immigration.

You can find the answers at VFS Global in BKK.

After submitting and paying for application you then are directed to the VFS Global site to book an appointment and pay for biometrics. Remember if successful the valid from date is the first date she can enter the UK , the second date is a must leave by date.

If she is granted the visa there will be an email or letter that comes with the passport to let you know what to do next. In the passport will be a sticker like in the picture. Cr picture from Internet.
