Very informative thread. Thanks IntEdSource.

The information presented for the International Schools is great. But I also see many references to "good bilingual schools ", which schools are these? no one seems to mention them by name.

April Fools day, got to be

Thanks for the help guys.

In response to ling men and bigtoe3 I live in Aberdeen. Probably not the best place to introduce a Thai girl to the UK for the first time, espcially at christmas time. I can see an expensive bill for some warm clothing in my future. She moans when I have the aircon on too low when im in Thailand

This is my first post, so I would like to say hello to the peeps on the forum. I would also like some advice on applying for a UK visa for my Thai girlfriend so she can visit me in the UK.

I have been dating my gf for approximately 1 year and have visited her in Thailand 3 times this year. I would now like to take her back to Scotland for a 2 week holiday. I have read the checklists on the www.ukvac-th.com websites, but I have some further questions:

1. Which type of visa should we apply for 6 months or 2 years? I currently work abroad myself on a 6 week on 2 week off rotation, and I divide my time off between the UK and Thailand. So I would like my gf to visit the UK each time I have to go back there also.

2. Does anyone have an example of a sponsors letter, or more in-depth details of what I should write in it?

3. Would it be possible to get the visa in time for my gf to visit the UK for xmas and new year?

4. Also, since I am not in Thailand and I have to supply copies of my last 6 months bank statements is it ok to scan them in to a computer and send them to my gf or fax them to her? or do they require the originals?

5. Should I book flight tickets for my gf before we submit the application?
