    I had a similar problem, applied online our selves 1st time and got refused. 

    2nd time used an agent with exact same papers and got the visa. 

    My girlfriend stayed 4 months in the UK with me while I was working and then we both returned back here together. 

    About 18 months later I returned to the UK for a 5 month work contract and planned for my girlfriend to join me in the spring time and near the end of the contract for a short holiday before returning back here. 

    Used all the same paperwork as before plus more photographs of us together in UK, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, photocopies of her passport stamps etc. 

    REFUSED again, not enough proof of relationship! 

    Use a good agancy and pay the extra 25000 or so extra and you should get the visa 

     

    I have been refused twice. First time my wife and I had been married for around 2 years and I owned several houses here and one in uk and money in banks in both countries . Wife had land , car ,bike in her name here all paid and over a million bht in bank for over a year. We sent in everything and they refused as we could only get 3 months bank statements due to short time before we were due to submit it all in bkk. They denied her as they said they wanted 6 months statements .

    Second time submitted everything the same and letters from my parents confirming we were staying with them and passport copies from them .

    They sent refused letter stating they didn’t believe we were married despite us being married for 7 years at this point and proof submitted by marriage cert and few pics , didn’t think my wife had reason to return despite owning car , bike , property in her name , didn’t think she had funds to get back to Thailand despite having over a million bht in bank for over a year again . Since then not even entertained the thought of going !

    But my friend got married in issan , used an agent in bkk and wife had nothing , no money , no car , relationship of 6 months and got visa no problem. Wife’s friend also had no job nothing , went to visit a guy she casually knew in uk who was twice her age , she used same visa agent my mate did and no problem she got visa.

    Think was 20-25000 bht the agent charged but guaranteed visa .

  2. In samui 5% is the norm although I have been asked for 10% if they sold my house in a month for price I wanted . Didn’t take them up obviously !!

    All of the ones I have met have been nothing but glorified taxis who took customers to the house and left me to show the customer around and answer questions. Now refuse to use any agents !

    I use transferwise all the time to send money in and out of thailand I would highly recommend it, you'll save huge amounts on handling fees and the conversion rates are the best on the market, sometimes even better than shown on Xe convert. If you want to send say £1000 it will only cost you around 240THB to do so compared to 1500-2000THB for bank transfers. You'll need to create an account with them and provide certain id but once you've done that you can send money really easily and usley within 1 day, depending if its the weekend or not. Its a no brainer really. 

    How are you doing this ? I have an account with them and send money to here from uk no problem but when I tried to send 15000 bht to uk it said they don’t send to uk from here . Thanks
