The wife's got a uk residence permit that runs out in June. We are no longer going to reside uk. I'm british. However we need to go back in July for family gathering. So was planning on getting her 10 year tourist visa. Does anyone know if I would have issues. I think I read somewhere can't do a visa for 6 months after one expires? I know this a thai visa forum but I joined a couple of uk ones to try find the answer and no posts ever get answered, hoping someone from uk maybe done similar. Also while I'm on I've come in on a non o visa. Last I had was pre covid, what do I need to extend to a year. I'm sure last time I did was pretty straight forward and have to have 400k in bank any advice appreciated save me having go immigration twice

Need information from anyone who has successfully applied for a UK tourist visa for their girlfriend. Mine is full time employed at as a hotel receptionist and can get a proof of employment letter. Also have both names on our 12 month condo rental contract. What else does she need and what’s the process? TIA.

Is there any help/advice available in this group when apply for a uk tourists visa ?

I’m in Pattaya now and want to arrange for a UK tourist visa for my girlfriend to come and stay with me in the Uk for 6months. Anyone able to recommend an agent I can go and talk to? Thanks.

Interested in getting my Thai wife a tourist visa for the UK and have a few questions about the process. Firstly VSF Global offers assistance with filling out the form but one needs to fill out the form before making an appointment to sign up for the service (Catch-22 🙂 ). Likely she must just fill out best she can and they edit it before submitting. I’m wondering about other requirements as I’d like to get the necessary documents and information beforehand such as what evidence to supply for “family permission to be in the UK” (my Aunt we’re visiting has lived there for 82 yrs)? Any help appreciate and feel free to pm me if you’d prefer.

Quick question. From next month is the UK tourist visa extension increased to 45 days or 30 days still? Is the 45 days only on arrival?

My girlfriend just received her uk tourist visa after 12 week wait. Info for people waiting.

I've just returned after a[nother] month in Thailand & can't go back for six months. Boo-hoo!

I'm thinking of trying to bring my girl over to the UK on a tourist visa. However, she's got no job & owns no property. I own my own home in the UK & have 'enough' dosh & would be happy to 'vouch' for her & pay for a return ticket.

Can anyone with experience please tell me about the realistic prospects of getting her a visa ... preferably without having wrestle [burocratic & legal] crocodiles?

I have applied for a uk tourist visa for my Thai gf to come to England. Usually 15 working days max....now on working day 28 still no news... flights booked for 6/12. Wish me luck!

Hi Folks,

Thanks for having me :)

I'm looking into possibilities of having a friend from Thailand visit me here in England for a few months.

Does anybody have any current insights around possibilities for visas given the current situation? Would be a tourist visa and a four or five month visit.

I've been through the process before so understand the finance/support side a little, just wondering if it's pretty much a non-starter given covid etc.

Thanks for help.
