Can my 19 year old Thai wife and our baby get a visa to come to the uk?

Thai wife and our baby get a visa to come to the uk?

My 19 year old Thai wife is pregnant with our first child, we are not married. We have been in a relationship for 1 year and I would like for her to come to the UK, if possible I would like my baby born in the UK, if not I would be just as happy if they could visit me after my new baby is born.

The UK visas available to your Thai girlfriend are limited to just a tourist visa. The reasons you would not be able to apply for a UK Settlement visa or UK fiancée visa is that both of you have to be 21 years or older.

Thai doctors do not recommend that pregnant ladies take long haul flights after 6 months pregnancy. Getting a visa could take you several months to get all of the paper work and documents together.

The problems you have ahead of you.

If you Thai girlfriend applies for a UK Tourist visa and is called for an interview at the Embassy, seeing your girlfriend pregnant, the embassy clearing officer could take the view that she is only going to England to have the baby, or that she wil not return to Thailand at the end of the visa. These simple reasons are enough for the clearing officer to decline the visa.

Your 19 year old Thai wife will not get a UK settlement visa, she could apply for a UK tourist – visitor’s visa.

Thai Girlfriend Travel England and Ireland

Hi I am a dual Irish and British citizen. I met my Thai girlfriend in Pattaya and we speak on the phone every day.

I would like to apply for a visa so my Thai girlfriend can travel to England and Ireland. I would like is so she can come to England to see where I live and then travel to Ireland to meet my family. Will my Thai girlfriend be able to travel to both England and Ireland on a British tourist visa?

This will not be an achievable. Getting a visa for England will be the easier of the two as you the sponsor live there etc. For your girlfriend to be able to travel to Ireland, a separate visa will be needed, a visa from the Irish embassy.

A British visa will allow your Thai girlfriend to visit

Scotland
Wales
England
Northern Ireland

An Irish visa will allow your Thai girlfriend to travel to

Ireland.

I am not recommending or giving the following information as advice, but only explaining what other people in your situation have done in the same position.
After obtaining a UK tourist visa, your girlfriend will be able to visit England and Northern Ireland. If you were to book a flight from England to Belfast and then hire a car, from what I understand there are no checks at the Northern Ireland – Southern Ireland border,

The correct way to enter both England and Ireland would be to make two separate visa application, one with the British embassy and one with the Irish Embassy. But knowing how difficult it can be to obtain visas, I have a strong feeling that one of the two will be refused, the country you do not reside in.
