UK Visa for Thai

As unfair as it seems any Thai national wishing to travel to the UK must apply for a visa at the British embassy in Bangkok.


Men from the UK fly into Thailand and are issued a visa on arrival. This is a visa issued to all British nationals when they arrive; the visa is for tourism and is issued for 30 days. Men that then arrive in Pattaya fall in love with one of the local Thai girls think it is unfair that his new Thai girlfriend will need to apply for a visa with no guarantee she will be issued it.

Thai girl applying for UK Visa

To give you an idea what is required to get a visa for your Thai girlfriend to travel to the UK, you must be able to provide evidence to the British embassy that a relationship really exists between the Thai lady and UK man. For a UK man that has been to Pattaya once and only known his Thai girlfriend for 2 – 3 months, there simply is no way that a UK visa will be issued for the Thai girlfriend. There is no evidence to suggest that this is an ongoing relationship.

Thai girlfriend makes a UK visa application

Even when you have been to Thailand 2 or 3 times, been in regular contact with your Thai girlfriend and provided her with money to support her, it still isnt clean cut.
When your Thai girlfriend makes a UK visa application, the visa officer will ensure that she will be safe while in the UK and is not being trafficked into the UK.
