Thai wife UK visa information 2010

The year is 2010 and there is a lot of information readily available on the internet regarding the rules of immigration and migration from Thailand to the UK. Yet people make so many big mistakes and as a result have no change of getting a visa for their Thai wife or girlfriend.

Often the mistakes they make are so big that it will be many years before the UK border agency would ever grant a visa.

This week a 22 year old man from the UK came into our visa office in Pattaya and explained that he would like to get his Thai wife back to the UK.
We asked some of the basic questions like
“How long have you know your Thai wife”
“When did you marry?”
“Did you marry in Bangkok or was it a Thai village marriage”
“How old is your Thai wife”

We were shocked at the response that we were given

I have known my Thai wife for 3 months. We met on the internet and we feel in love. We speak every day on the internet. I came to Thailand two weeks ago and got married in Bangkok and then a Thai marriage in the Village. My Thai wife is 17 years old. We want her to come to the UK so she can work and earn money as her family is poor.

Thai wife UK visa information 2010


I thought it best that I give him the bad news by first explaining the Thai wife UK visa information 2010. This is upto date information readily available on the internet that he really should have researched before getting so involved.
Even if married you cannot get a UK spouse visa or UK settlement visa until your wife and you are both at least 21 years of age. That means if his Thai wife is 17 today, she will not be able to live in the UK for another 4 years.
Because the Thai wife is under 18 a UK tourist visa will not be issued.
His Thai wife cannot get any visa to the UK at this time.

Needless to say that he was devastated and angry.

We tell people every day, do not marry your Thai girlfriend to obtain a visa, being married will not get you a visa.


To any outsider it is obvious that this couple does not know each other and as she will remain in Thailand and he will have to return to the UK, with the chance of 2 two week holidays to Thailand it is unlikely that they will ever get the change to know each other.

Even if the Thai wife was 21, in the same circumstances other UK visa requirements would result with the visa being denied.

IF you meet a Thai lady on the internet and it is three months before you first visit her in Thailand, when you arrive in Thailand it will classed as you have known each other for one day. Meeting in person is when you can start counting the amount of time.

The visa office in this case would have looked at the application and seen that this was his first trip to visit his Thai partner, knowing her for less than two weeks. The visa would be denied.

We tell people every day, do not marry your Thai girlfriend to obtain a visa, being married will not get you a visa.
