Hey everyone,

I am slight confused about visa location centre in Bangkok.

I tried to book a time slot on behalf of my wife at Siam paragon, but they were charging 3000THB for a time slot.

I then tried different application centre and picked Siam Paragon - Platinium and Siam Piwat Staffs. The time slots available are free for same dates.

Obviously I want to pick the free application centre.

I am confused, If I pick Siam Platinium will there be a problem? Siam Platinium are they for other special applicants?

If anyone can help me I will really appreciate it.

Many thanks.

Hey everyone, 

I am filling out the application for my wife visit visa to the UK for two weeks.

I came across this section 'Income and Expenditure'. As you can see on the pic.

She has no savings at all. I am sponsoring her fully. 

I will pay all the expenses including accommodation. She will not have to pay at all.

My question is as I am paying towards the cost of her visit: Total amount of £2500.

the question "How much money are you planning to spend on your visit to the UK?"

Should I put down as £2500 the amount I am sponsoring her or just £50.00, I tried to put 0.00 but the system did not accept.

I am very confused. 

Any idea??

Many thanks.

Hey every one,

My wife has managed to get an employment letter from the restaurant she works in Thai language. The letter has all the important points needed for Visit Visa to the UK.

The only problem is the letter is in normal paper, it doesn't have any company letterhead or logo. I asked my wife but they told her they don't have company letterhead.

The supervisor has included her details, signature, including work telephone no etc.

My wife she has payslip that gives the company name and details same as the letter.

Will this be a problem when applying for two weeks visit visa.

Many thank you. 

Hey everyone,

I am about to apply for a visit visa for my Thai wife. I was wondering do I need to translate her bank statement into English and how many months statements does she have to provide?

Finally, when we apply do I have to buy the plane ticket and pay the full-amount or is there another way I can do.

Any tips will be really helpful.

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering do I have to get my sponsor letter notarised by a solicitor for my Thai wife for her two weeks visit visa.

Many thanks.

Your wife has got satisfy the Entry Clearance Officer, the ECO, the decision maker directly employed by the UKVI, that she's a genuine visitor, the visit is affordable and that, on the balance of probabilities she return to her own country at the conclusion of her visit.

 

It's alway difficult when, as in your case, when the applicant is married to a person living in the UK but they are living apart, your wife will need to convince the ECO that she's just intending to go to the UK for a short holiday and that her ties to her own country are sufficiently strong  to mean that she is likely to return home and not attempt to circumnavigate the settlement rules and simply stay in the UK.

Her previous employment, she worked as Dental Assistant and part-time at Dairy Queen as Cashier. Both jobs were in Saraburi. But she left to come to Bangkok, because her monthly salary at the Bangkok airport is more, in addition tips all together, she will earn monthly income between 20,000 THB to 23,000 THB.

A job that she has only been in for a couple of weeks may not be regarded as a strong reason to return, her employer will need to write a letter confirming that the job is available for her on her return, though it would have been better if she'd been ther for a while, what's her previous emplyment and, if any why did she leave. The letter from the employer can be in English or Thai, if in Thai it will need to be translated, I suspect the UKVI would call the employer, if the letter is in English he would be expected to speak in English.

Forget about the motorcycle and life insurance they'll count for nothing,

She has a lease agreement for 6 months, with 4,000THB as deposit.

Do give details of her accomodation, the longer her lease the better.

Do mention the grandparent and outline her commitment to her.
Given your wife has only been in employment for a short while, she might like to explain why she wants to make the trip at this time and what she intends doing during her short time in the UK.

 

Be open and honest about your situation and your parents should confirm that they will support her financially and provide evidence of their ability to do so, including a note that suitable accomodation is available for her during her stay.

 

Ignore the "advice" about the payslips at this stage, and certainly don't take any notice of the deposit of £62,500 into your account, that's pure nonsence.

 

I do agree with rasg and others, it's not going to be easy, but with a good covering note from you both explaining why you deem a visit prudent at this stage, I also agree that an agent isn't really necessary, if either of you need any further clarification, feel free to ask.

Hey, I was wondering what are the chance of my Thai wife getting a visit visa, on this circumstances:

Her reasons to return back to Thailand

1. She has saving account of 20,000THB.
2. She has two life insurance under her name. One is 15 years and the other one is 2 years.
3. She works at Suvarnabhumi Airport, at a Japanese restaurant. However she only started that job a week ago. But her employer are aware and are willing to give her two weeks off - as she had mention that before on her interview.
4. She has apartment rental agreement in Bangkok under her and her friends name.
5. She has a motorbike in finance, that she pays out monthly instalment.
6. Both her parents are deceased; she has their death certificate translated into English with official government stamp.
7. My wife family tie is her grandmother who is 74 years old, who is her responsibility. She looks after her by giving petty cash, buying food, medicine etc. Her grandmother owns a piece of land that she gives out to rent; my wife handles that responsibility. Before my wife moved to Bangkok, she lived her whole life at her grandmother house with her. She is registered at that address.
8. As my wife works in Bangkok, she has hired a worker from Myanmar to look after her grandmother. 

About me

I have been living in my parent's house for the past two years. I got married last month; I came back to England last week. I am currently unemployed with P45 to proof. I want my wife to come to the UK for two weeks to meet my family and to show her England before I find a job and get busy. 

Sponsorships/Finances

My parents will takes full responsibility of my wife; by buying her inward/outward plane ticket, providing accommodation at their home, food, other expenses and private medical treatment just in case.

My parents were already aware of our marriage. After we got married we went to South Korea. Where my parents paid for all the accommodation at hotels, I have proof of payment with their names. 

Lastly they also paid for our flights to Krabi in Thailand and the resort we stayed at. 

Do you think my wife has a chance of getting two weeks visit visa to UK?

Many Thanks.
