that happens ...that why I did 3 visitor visas ...then we did the long road to getting the UK passport . So far my wife likes it here more than Thailand.
It's probably best to get her 2X visitor Visa ...see if you meet all the criteria ...it's not easy but doable .
Then if everything goes well then go for the 2.5 yr Visa ...then she can work,but can't work with the visitors Visa ...there's English tests to be completed ...and the
Life In The UK test ...which most UK people would fail.
It's a 7/ 8 year ordeal for citizenship...then a Passport . Be prepared to spend over 10k
exactly right ...I used Paul King for.our first application.I really can't fault his process , I know he comes across a little bit ,let's say Different, but he did what he said he was going to do and it all went perfectly.
Who ever tells you it's easy has never been through the Process ...I've done all the visa applications up to getting my wife a UK passport... definitely use a agent for the first time...it's a ball ache but so worth the cost.
