3 Thai girlfriend UK Visa Questions 1 Answer

My Thai partner has been to the Uk before ?

When I spoke at length with this gentleman from the UK, I learnt that the thai girlfriend had been to the UK 3 years ago with a previous boyfriend, she had not been to the UK with the new boyfriend. For a visa application this means she has no immigration history with this relationship.

Would she be able to stay in the Uk after the 6 months if we got married?

The thai lady will not be able to get married in the UK on a tourist visa, it will be very unlikely that you will receive a fiancée visa if she has not been to the UK to visit you previously.

Would it be easier if she had a Job to come to in the UK ?

I guess that the job would be an unskilled job. The UK immigration department are not going to issue a visa for a Thai person to come to the UK to do an unskilled job. 2009 1 out of every 4 people between the age of 18 and 25 are out of work. The UK really doesn’t need any more unskilled workers right now.

The only visa which is suitable in this situation is a Tourist visa, or a visitors visa. This will allow your Thai partner to visit the UK for up to six months. At the end of this period of time they will have to return to Thailand, but it would then be possible to apply for a Settlement visa (if you are married) or a finacee visa to get married in the UK
