What are the key factors for successfully obtaining a UK visa for a Thai partner?

Christopher ***********

@Bruce *********

We shall never know. Her sister got turned down for Australia and Netherlands (Schengen). However, when the Schengen Visa was resubmitted (with exactly the same details) it was granted. Government departments sure are arrogant as well as incompetent.

Same here. Her Aunt has lived for decades in USA. She owns and runs a Thai restaurant in Texas. Application refused. She only tried once. Never again!

Why is the DTAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) causing confusion among travelers?

Christopher ***********

@Brett ********

Correct! My office love to unstaple and restaple historical TM.30’s to make copies. That and the 90 day report ‘Receipt of Notification’ slips. I dread the possibility of being told that the mutilations have invalidated my passport.
