I have flown many times from uk via doha and always put from UK as that was the start of my journey then I put the flight number as that from Qatar to bangkok. Every time it has been accepted

If you like to visit thailand as.much as you do and you dont want a non o retirement visa then I would suggest you look into a DTV soft power 5 year visitor visa which allows 180 days stay per visit so you can come and go as much as you like without the concerns you raise.

Gary thats not required as a sponsor for a visitors visa, the 27k is if she wants to stay in the uk and work towards being a permanent resident. The sponsor needs to show enough money to cover her stay so that there is no impact on uk government finances

@Graham *****

yes thats true its not an interview just a visit to give biometrics

@Graham *****

she will need to attend the VFS to give biometrics at either Bangkok or chiang mai

@Kevin *******

your replies would suggest not thats why I tried to make it clear in my answer that he would enter visa exempt and get 60 days which is more than his 6 weeks so no visa required!!! If you have visited often then why have you questioned my answer? I am confused with your response

@Kevin *******

yes i have read it so he needs nothing to enter thailand because he will be given a 60 day entrance stamp so he can stay in thailand for 60 days visa free since he has a uk passport. He will also need to fill an arrival card in like everyone else which can only be completed within the last 3 days before arriving

@Kevin *******

Kevin he will arrive on a 60 day visa exemption, no visa at all. He will also need to fill in the arrival card the TDAC which you mentioned, this only tells immigration you have arrived it is not a visa

@Kevin *******

Kevin thats not a visa that is just the thailand digital.arrival card that every visitor has to fill in within 3 days of your arrival to thailand, not linked to any visa

Very simply she needs a uk visitor visa which is a 6 month multi entry visa. There are many requirements she will need to meet and some for you if you are her sponsor. You need to read the uk website to give you an indication of the documents you will need to upload as part of the application along with a visit to the VFS in chiang mai or bangkok availing as.part of the process. It takes up to 3 weeks once all documentation is submitted to gain or not her visa
