No as easy when my wife was girlfriend I tried to bring her to uk for visit to see if she would like UK

She had son but no job

We had a large folder of proof of relationship still turned down as risk of not returning to Thailand

We are married and she is now a British citizen

ok

Your wife does not need money in her account (my wife had none)

You have to prove that you can support her financially

When I went through this my wages had to be over £18,500 this is going to rise to £29,000 in spring this year

In addition to my wage you will have pay a NHS surcharge which in my case was £1200 for the first visa application

You will also have to present plan of your living arrangements plan of house ownership or rented if rented rental agreement

It is a lot of paperwork including photos over the past years of you and you wife together proof dates travelling to Thailand over the past 2 years a the hotels you stayed at

It’s a long journey I went for the 5 years route

Which has now ended and my wife is a British citizen

I wish you well on your journey

Not sure if you will see the £5 k again but I hope so

Nok cancelled the flight on me twice never again will I fly with them

Very good service

Ian in Uk and it’s requested every time I renew my wife’s visa

@Phil *****

do not forget to have the Thai Marriage certificate translated into English and stamp by a solicitor it will help if you decide later in life to move from Thailand

Went through last month the sign says over 70 you can go through the Thai national route
