Hi peeps

Looking for a location for ceremony and reception in BKK (same location or not). Anyone experienced a good venue whether attending or your own and can recommend? Looking for 100 - 150 capacity only. 

Thanks

Thank you for all the responses.
I can tackle the employment and bank statement issue. But i feel it's a losing battle on the return to Thailand front. Other than prove that i have a strong and legitimate relationship with her. There is nothing more i can do. I stated that we are looking to get married soon (already put a ring on it) and wanted to show her my country and family. Thought that was pretty honest. Or has that worked against me? Thought the reviewer would see she wouldn't jeopardise our future to do a runner.

I've already included itinerary for trips to singapore, phuket, chiang mai.

Thought I got lucky to find a thai girl aged 29 with no kids, no debts, no problems. My word, how that has worked against me.

Had a similar problem as self employed wife never banks income such as it is. What I did was to get a letter from my MP supporting the application, surprised when it worked so might be worth a try.

What did the letter contain if you don't mind sharing some details.

Thanks

Yes, she can re-apply immediately but she needs to fully address the reasons in her refusal, and submit a strong case, otherwise she will be refused again.

 

It would be helpful if your girlfriend could post her refusal letter, with her personal details redacted, I'm afraid that your bullet points aren't really enough to go on.

 

Maybe she should say in her covering letter that the hotel/bar is busy and sometimes calls are unanswered, not sure that I'd really be convinced by that arguement though, but it's worth a try, as you say maybe she should encourage the hotel staff to be a little more on the ball during Embassy office hours after she's resubmitted her application.

As to your points regarding her first application, how did she demonstrate your relationship previously, do you live in Thailand or the UK? 

There's more to her bank statement than confirming her income, if the cash you give her for the trip, and maybe more is what she relies on, what incentive is there for her to return? 

She really needs to demonstrate her ties here, she might not own property but she must live somewhere, did she provide details of her accomodation here? 

Not being bothered to bank her salary isn't really a good answer, she needs to be bothered. 
We really need to see the redacted letter.

I demonstrated relationship with:

- pictures, chat messages, flight itinerary to other countries (no visa required), remittance payments, passport stamps of over 10 trips. All over the span of 5/6 years

I live in the UK

We attached her apartment bill, she rents.

I have attached the refusal letter.

Thanks

Hi
I just opened a refusal letter for my Thai GF to visit UK.
Just looking for assistance on what i can do in my 2nd attempt.

Refusal reasons were.
1. Reviewer not confident of return
2. Call made to employer. Not answered
3. Bank statement does not show salary income on a regular period
4. Bank statement name in Thai script

Addressing the points
1. Not sure what more i can do. 5 years of strong relationship proof. But she has no kids. No land or assets.
2. Not much i can do but provide another number and notify her manager to anticipate a call.
3. She works in a bar/hotel and earns 25k as a cashier/receptionist. Gets paid in cash. And deposits into account when she can be bothered... should i even provide her bank statement as i will be sponsoring her? Thought it might be worthwhile as she has 70k in there but omitting it next time may avoid questions??
4. My fault. Should of had it translated.

P.S submission took 15 days from submission to result

Can i apply again immediately?

Thanks
