Sorry to hear this I assume you are applying for a UK visitor visa. It will likely to be down to what evidence was uploaded and how the case was presented. I think you can apply again in 6 months. If I were you I would do the application myself and get any advice you can on what evidence is needed and which section to upload it into. Perhaps the agent has not done their job adequately.

Fill in the on line application form and upload all the evidence on line. Be thorough, follow all the guidance and do not hit submit until you are sure it is complete as once submitted you cannot add anything else. The good news is you can save and update it as many times as you like before you submit it. You could pay an agent to help but in the end you will still have to collate all the evidence to upload. I did mine myself it was hard work but went through ok both times.

I only send occasional transfers and when I compare like for like the transfer fee is much lower on wu though the exchange rate is also a little lower. The difference to me is not worth worrying about.

Western Union is simple to set up and use with their app and it works well. I gave up on Wise..

I managed to get a UK visitor visa for my then girlfriend twice before we married and successfully applied for a spouse visa for her to come to the UK. At the time she was not working although she had previously worked on cruise ships. If you will be fully sponsoring your gf it is not actually essential for her to have a job but it does help prove her intention to return to Thailand. If your gf does not have a job focus more on her family ties or any family dependents or property she may own in Thailand. There is guidance on the UK govt visa web site so follow that. You will have to prove your relationship. The best thing to do will be to start an application on line and work your way through it step by step. You will be able to save it and go back to it and add to it or edit it as many times as you like before you submit it. You would find more guidance and advice in a UK visa group. Do not hit submit until you have checked and double checked the application is complete. Remember she is the applicant. You would be the sponsor. As sponsor you are allowed to help with the application.

Since to go through Dublin you would need to travel through UK and rely on the short stay visa waiver to get you through Dublin it would be far simpler to fly into Belfast through either Manchester or Heathrow I would have thought. Through Heathrow she could fly into there direct on Thai Air then on to Belfast maybe on a budget flight. But it's your choice at the end of the day.

Make very sure the expiry date is 10 years from the issue date. Some passports show an expiry date longer than 10 years based on the expiry of the previous passport if the current passport was issued early. So check the Issue date in the passport was 16 June 2014. If it was before that he can be denied boarding.

You may have to go back to your own country apply for the visa then go to Thailand from there.

Check your junk mail folder it may have gone in there. I seem to remember when I did mine you can track the progress of it on line using your log in

you're welcome. The process is difficult to cover properly in a comment but work your way through the application step by step. Put together any photos of you together right from the beginning of your relationship as that will be helpful to you in terms of Proof of relationship. There is guidance on what you can submit as evidence whether you are employed or self employed.
