,I am guessing but if you can show bank statements showing a good balance you would probably be fine I am pretty sure I gave bank statements as well,my ex girlfriend worked for a large corporation and was on a good salary, just give them as much reason as possible for her to return to Thailand.

@Stevie *******

you may find that a stumbling block not working, good luck

If your girl friend has a job and can get a letter from her employer and maybe payslips it will make it a lot easier.

I took a Thai girlfriend to UK a few years ago it wasn't easy got rejected first attempt, she will need to have a good reason to return to Thailand also money in her bank account i think it was about 20,000 baht but can't be sure and you will need to start putting it in now our first rejection was a lump sum a few weeks before we wanted the visa ,also your best bet is to sponsor her as in pay for air fare and support her while in uk ,its certainly do able just a pain ,good luck.

is the non O the same one you can apply for in Thailand before you apply for a 1 year based on retirement? We Already have bank accounts and the 800,000 seasoning since last October.

everything in France is slow we are going through the process of selling our farm and retiring in Thailand but cutting through the red tape here is painfully slow.
