What visa can my son's Lao girlfriend apply for to visit the UK from Thailand?

get her to improve her English as she will be questioned.

If she from Laos probably doesn't have the right to live in Thailand alot of girls from Laos and Cambodia don't have visas for Thailand.

Tell him not to bother

Tell her to stay in Laos, the UK is shithole..

Near enough impossible

It’s very difficult even with return flights guaranteed sponsorship from yourself

You have to provide proof you can afford for her to come to stay with you with at least three months of healthy bank statements and lots of money in your account

She must prove she’s going back

It’s been a nightmare both times for us

Last trip a year ago

It’s a very difficult situation

From Laos its near on impossible,,, my friend been with a lady from Laos for a few years, they have a business in Jomtien ( Thailand), and he also works for an international company, so travels alot with that job,,, She has no chance of coming uk they tell me for a visit

Get married or engaged 💍

Try to get a visa to England, but she won't get any. Only when they're married. She can get a visa to England

Speaking from experience, I think he should manage his expectations regarding the visas. I think he’ll be very fortunate to bring her to the UK with a tourist visa and if he decides to venture down the spouse visa route, that is several thousand pounds. The best way, in the long term, is to learn a remote skill and travel to her.

Not going to happen, its not a supermarket, he needs to grow up

At least 90% chance of refusal

If shes from laos it will be very very difficult especially not being married, plus in laos they are very strict when a foreigner is with a laos national especially not married , even holding hands with her in laos you could get into trouble, he wont be able to stay at her house in laos without the managers permission until they are married, its very strict in laos , people stare at me and my wife because she looks laos

Don't waste your money. She has no chance. She doesn't even speak English.

My brothers wife is from the Philippines they live and work in Dubai she got a UK 5 year visa think it cost £2,000

does she have a regular jobs and incomes or she gets her allowance from your son?

If you're working in Thailand and in a globally recognized company with all the paperworks like Non-B visa, work permit, income statement, employment letter from company you can basically apply tourist visa for any country in Thailand. Because that ensures your identity, why you are applying from Thailand, and that you will be back in Thailand after the trip.

But if you're on a tourist visa in Thailand and want to get visa for other countries, usually that would be impossible and will have to go back to home country to apply.

So for this case most likely will have to apply for UK visa back in Laos.

Better read the Laos’ rules first b4 you take a gf from there !!!!

go to chatgpt or gemini or Grok and type same question

The visa for her is determined and obtained from the British Embassy, not Thailand

A Laos citizen can apply for 6 months standard visitor visa is best for her. If you could provide that she is legally in Thailand ( work permit, valid visa or another immigration status ). Application can be made outside her home country. Then after six months your son can decide if he could get her in the Uk permanently either marriage visa or finance visa if the relationship is going to last.

Impossible

Another one fell in the honey trap

The guy is screwed if he needs his mum's help with this. Which bar is she from. There'll be a few on here probably know her. We've all seen how these stories end.

“She hardly speaks any English” what has that to do with it…

When you’re son is capable of living in Thailand he’ll sure know how to get his girlfriend to the uk.

My guess is she will have to apply in Laos to get a visa

He won't be the last.

Any VISA would work. Even Mastercard or American Express.

If he even could which I doubt it would take some time

Literally impossible to do

Boat

Parents nightmare

You need to know exactly what to do .as much as you can to say why she as to come back to Thailand

I have done all visis hardest think i have even done , first you want a tourist visa not easy even for that , need reson to return main thing , need to see a solicitor best even for that , to marry he needs to earn a year to pass the first one

Get to France Get a boat easy then get a house

Trust me it’s nearly impossible …. Speaking from experience

If the girl had money and bank accounts in Laos or Thailand with her name and good money and income

Of the girl had name on property and owns property

Or if the girl owns a company in Thailand or Laos

Needs to be a professional and speak good amount of English also

With out them things …. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack that’s the reality

+ she would have to go back to Laos to make the visa not from Thailand

My partner also from Laos ….. after £1000s of pounds wasted and much too much time and stress we realised it’s easier just to live in Thailand together ……

Why the heck would anyone take a girl to that sh*tty island with bad food, bad weather, high inflation, chubby girls, and full of barbarians that they once conquered? People only escape that island, they do not go in voluntarily. Also, since your son cannot find ou the answer himself, most likely he is one of those broke bloke that cannot afford to pay for 2 in England. Why live like a slave on that island when he can live like a prince here with mommy's money?

As a Lao citizen, she is expected to contact the UK Embassy in Laos.

He should go and live with her in Lao easier , easy simple cheap lifestyle with few worries.

My mate tried for 4 year to get his to UK from Laos still hasn't done it

Uh you can’t

I mean technically there’s a possible way

But it’s going to be so hard we might as well say it’s not possible lol

Best to leave her there..

Standard UK visitor visa. There are companies in Thailand who have helped numerous friends of mines out and have a near 100% success rate. The main thing is he'll want to prove her ties to Thailand / Laos so the UK government are convinced she will return by the end of her visa. The company is called U smile and is based in Pattaya

If you son is mature and financially secure enough to have a girlfriend . He can figure it out. Time to cut him loose mom.

You should go through an agency

In these situations can help a lot

Never take the flower out the garden ! 😎😎😎

Marriage visa

She need to get done from lao .

to apply for visa (where ever she want to go) she not Thai citizen she just work in thailand.

Not a chance

To be honest, it will be tough. My WIFE , married in Thailand with docs, translated, legalized, was rejected x2 for a uk visitors visa. The hotline..in Hungary, cost 25£ a minute..justified the rejection with..there is no info suggesting any kind of relationship with this thai woman.The uk can go fk itself

let your son do the work.

Had no problems taking my girlfriend to Australia and to uk

But she had house farms, shop

A lot of copies but very straightforward at trendy house

Don't do it.

Worship visa services I used two times takes about 4 weeks

Try worship visa agent Bangkok cost 8000 baht

If anything like Australia, and I think it is , it would be impossible especially from Thailand. Maybe if she applied from her home country, had a job to go back to with written evidence from employer, owned property in Laos with evidence to prove it, and a heap of money and bank statements to prove it. Tipping she would fail on all those so I would guess buckleys chances

I checked up that myself, but to Norway. Almost impossible 😳😔 Very easy with Thai, but not Laos.

Hope it’s more easy in UK🙏🏻

If you pull a flower out of the ground it will wilt.

No chance

Just don't do it please , when his money is finished is finished, she will leave him for sure , please be careful 🙏

How long is she his girlfriend, and why is his mum asking and not asking himself?

Visit the UK government website.

The easiest application is a 6 month tourist visa.

However many documents are still needed.

Bank account details for proof of funds during the stay.

Plans and bookings of stay.

A letter of invitation etc.

it can be quiet daunting when you first check the requirements but if you have everything in order then it should be ok.

Good luck.

Very difficult unfortunately

I wish him luck is very very difficult near to impossible

Tourist visa for sure. She has to demonstrate that she’s going to leave the uk. Ie some income a job or investments and family ties to return.

If he wants to marry her and bring her back on a partner visa amongst other requirements she’ll need to pass an English language test. Contrary to what you hear in the press and certain political parties it’s very difficult to get settlement visa here.

Go through a agent in Bangkok

She needs a UK Visitor visa. If she's legally living in Thailand she can apply here. She'll need to meet the requirements and attend VFS in Bangkok or Chiang Mai to submit her biometrics. She can also return to Laos and apply there (Vientiene).

Won't be easy with what ever one you go with

If its just for a visit then go for a UK tourist visa.
