We are going down to pattaya next week and still want to do the Thai passport I think this will be straight forward at the office in the avenue , then we are going to go to bangkok to do the uk passport , is it easy to do and do I need to get any pixs countersigned by someone (who) ? IF you have to ?? Do we also need original birth certificates ?? Thanks again

It depends a lot on how long she spent in the UK on her last visit and how long she intends to do so on her next one at Christmas.

If this means she would, or it's possible she would, spend more than 6 months out of 12 in the UK as a visitor then, as theoldgit says, she'd need to convince the ECO, and possibly immigration on her arrival, that she has a compelling reason for so doing.

To be honest, I doubt that wanting to spend Christmas with your family would be considered such.

she got a six month visa but only stayed 4 months as she was pregnant and had to fly back by a certain date , so I think we will leave it until we can apply with no restrictions, and it was the baby we wanted to introduce to my uk family , but as you say they problem wouldn't grant a visa on those grounds anyway , thanks for reply and help

It's not correct that she cannot re-enter the UK for six months after leaving.

But she wouldn't normally be allowed to spend six months in any twelve in the UK as a visitor, whilst this is a convention and wouldn't break Immigration Rules by exceeding these limits, she would need a pretty compelling reason to do so before a visa was issued and again when entering through a UK Border.

thanks for the reply I think we will leave it till early next year thanks for help

Hello joined the site today, I was wondering if anyone knows if my Thai girlfriend can visit the uk , she was in uk until June 26 th 2014 , she came back as she became pregnant , I'm here in Surin with her now and our 2 week old baby , we want to go back to the uk for Xmas ,but I read somewhere you can't go back to the uk as a holiday visiter with 6 months of leaving the uk ..????? Is this true as we want to do the visa asap and get back to my family for Xmas thanks
