yes - that is what we did and it was fine .. as stated we went to next level and. Got leave to enter / leave to remain and if complete 5 full years your wife can apply for UK passport - this will also be in her maiden name unless she decides to change .. it is up to you
no she does not —- we did exactly as you are planning … my wife has since changed names .. but she had a spouse visa and even leave to enter UK permit on maiden name .. it will be fine
Hi Craig . I have had both retirement and Thai Wife . If u never going to work in thailand i think get retirement . Converting from one to the other is very tiresome … getting the visa in country is probably best option . U can book online at immigration for a time .. cheers
- not easy at all actually . Assume she speaks fluent Thai. That would give her some chance .. but just about all business in Thailand is conducted in Thai
