What should I include in my invitation letter for my Thai partner to visit the UK?

@Dam***

, good luck.

The thing that really annoyed me was that the people tmaking a decision about my wife's visa application were Indian.

@Damian *******

i had my gf over a few times. The main thing is to prove funds, at least £150 for everyday that she is there and an itiniery. Showing places you two will visit price of hotel, food roughly we just put 50 per day for food hotel price per night and entrance fees for places, she needs letter from her manager at work to show she is going to return home payslips for last 6 months if i remember correctly proof she has her own property contract for rental or book for home dont over think just coach her on what they may ask her why does she want to visit? She is going to visit her boyfriend, she will stay with you and that she has an interest in the history of england, wants to experience a different culture and that she will be visiting places with you. M me i can give you an itiniery to show you your side but the main thing is the bank statements, proof of home and enough money to cover her trip, letter from her manager just saying she has leave to go to uk between x and y dates

Job is not that important as you think. Anyone can quit a job. Even a child at home isn't important because Thais are known to leave their kids with grandma to work in the city. A house is probably the most important thing.

@Daren *******

Im not gonna argue Im just stating what information we provided and were successful everytime shes been over 4 times

@Alan *********

Sorry if you took it as arguing. I was just stating what I have been through in the states and what my lawyer told me.

@Daren *******

i also did a lot of research on the .gov.uk website for people visiting the uk and relied on information straight from the horses mouth

@Daren *******

misunderstanding just that hes asking for uk and im from the uk. I just thought I would give input as I have successfully had my partner over 4 tomes thats all no offence

@Alan *********

You are lucky to have been able to bring her there.

@Damian *******

I would think a bit more than that maybe 500k

@Damian *******

you sponsor her the money is her reason to return

@Bob *********

hmm. When In UK she can authorise a transfer there. Not sure they will see that therefore as a reason to return, but just show funding for her time in UKand/or or Damians financial sponsorship of her trip backed by uk bank statements. Worked for us

@Stephen *******

UK must be easier than the US

@Stephen *******

not from a Thai bank she can’t not from there

@Bob *********

I use my bkk bank debit card outside Thailand with no problem

@Stephen *******

your not transferring 500k

@Bob *********

wow. Maybe things have changed but when I did it 20k was enough and they were laser focussed on reasons she had to return

@Damian *******

a few years Damian so Bob may be right but it seems a lot to me

@Stephen *******

I’m not 100% but that would be enough for a Thai to return plus a lot has to do with her employment

@Bob *********

Employment is important but not the top thing. A house is probably more important. My Thai wife has a child there and the attorneys said she most likely wouldn't get in. This was before we were married. Property seemed to be the most important. She had land but it wasn't enough.
