She can apply to travel for any date, there’s no “time between visits” requirement for Standard Visit Visas for the UK, each application is treated on its own merit.

 

For each application your mother in law will need to satisfy the decision maker that she’s a genuine visitor who will leave the UK at the conclusion of her holiday.

 

The ECO may wonder if regular three month holidays are genuine, though they are perfectly legal.

Thank you

My mother in law is currently in the UK on a tourist visa, she is planning on coming to the UK again next year, She came to the UK on the 15/03/24 and will leave on the 15/08/24 what would be the earlist date next year she would be able to come back to the UK. Thank you for any help.

Hello

My niece would like to visit the UK next year with her grandmother, do you do the visa application in the same way as you would for an adult? Her grandmonther has visted the UK about 6 times now and there has never been any issue in getting her a visa my niece will be 10 years old at the time. Does she need any letters from her parents confirming that she is allowed to leave Thailand with her grandmother? any advice would be most welcome.

Thank you

Submitted on 15th December, and back yesterday (28th december).

That's very quick considering you had christmas in between

Has anyone recently applied for a UK visit visa? what are the current Processing Times?

Thanks

I do not want a new UK passport it is about a visa to the UK

I think the OP is asking about a UK visa application, not a British passport application.  But I might be wrong.

that's correct

Are you able to pay at VFS for the return of your passport? I made a mistake and never choose this service online, so was hoping it can be paid for when they go to do the bio information

That is just BS. I doubt Putin is even thinking along those lines. There are many dual Russian Israeli citizens living in Israel. It's just anti Putin propaganda.

it won't really matter to putin he hasn't got long left until he can meet his makers

Agreed...  and conversely so.. 

 

If a foreigner has good money and a good job here, then paying for a top tier international school will give the Child a greater opportunity than placing them in a standard school back home (i.e. UK comprehensive).

 

 

There is the language issue: 

- Studying at an international school does not help a child's Thai.

- If the child wants a future in Thailand they have to learn extra curricular Thai.

 

There is also university issue (costs): 

- Firstly a family (child) has to be in the UK for 3 years to secure UK uni fees.

- The costs can be anywhere from £20,000 to £35,000 more per year than the standard ±£10,000 for resident UK students. 

 

- But, also, IF a child wanted to study medicine with the aim of becoming a Doctor in Thailand, they'd have to study their medical degree here (then perhaps study a masters overseas) - the same for legal services (lawyer) or Dentistry etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only maybe advantage for the child would be if they where to stay in Thailand, if they wanted to work in another country it would be of far greater adavntage to do a degree in the UK as it is accepted in nearly every country in the world compared to a Thai degree where only a few unis are recognised world wide.

not the same but

 

my step son is full thai with no accent and perfect english. we took him to canada when he was around 9 and returned to thailand after he finished high school. 

 

when in canada we spoke 0 thai with him as i wanted him to speak english the same as any other canadian. he lost all his ability to speak thai while in canada. 

 

so when we came back he was in a strange position of being a full blooded thai but couldn't speak or understand. he has caught it back pretty quick in the 4 years since coming back. 

 

he now has dual citizenship as well. gets treated quite differently once people hear his story. some of it is good some is bad. overall it has helped his life in a lot of ways. he is almost finished thammasat inter program and is being hunted by ptt for work.

 

 

He's going to speak English with a Canadian accent so you can't really say he dosen't have an accent, There isn't any such thing as not speaking English without an acccent, come to the UK your hear many different ways of saying the same word

I will be going to thailand for 16 days so can enter without getting a visa, I will be flying wiht one airline and will leave on a different so I have 2 one way flights, (long story as to why it worked out that way) is that going to be any problem?
