  1. thankyou 7by7 for that information, i also have a query

    I am marrying a thai girl here legally, and then planning on going back to uk to work, i was wondering if she can work legally while we are there.

    you mentioned a spouse visa ,is that ideal for me?. I dont want to go for the settlement visa, as we might only be in uk, for 6or 7 months

    For her to work is the main issue, as i think she would get bored at my house if she was at home all day.

    She has already had a tourist visa last year

  2. A visit visa would not be suitable as, even if one has a two year, five year or longer one, the maximum a visitor can usually spend in the UK is 6 months out of any 12.

    So if she wants to stay for at least 2 years then settlement is the only option.

    If you can show that you have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least the last 2 years then she can apply as an unmarried partner.

    Otherwise she will need to apply as your fiancée or as your spouse.

    A fiancee visa lasts for 6 months. During this period she travels to the UK and you marry. She then applies for Further Leave to Remain, which lasts for two years; at the end of which she can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain.

    With a spouse visa you first marry in Thailand. The visa lasts for 27 months, and once she has been in the UK for 24 months she can apply for ILR.

    To qualify for ILR she will need to demonstrate her knowledge of language and life in the United Kingdom.

    ILR is, as the name suggests, indefinite. However if it were to become apparent that she was no longer resident in the UK it could be revoked; especially if she were to spend a continuous period of more than 2 years outside the UK.

    If you can extend your stay in the UK for another year, once she has ILR and has been living in the UK with you for 3 years she can apply for British citizenship; so will be able to enter and leave the UK as often and for as long as she wishes, just like any other citizen. Both Thailand and the UK allow dual citizenship, so doing this will not effect her status or rights as a Thai citizen in any way.

    See also Guidance for British nationals wishing to marry in Thailand and TB certificate.

    Living with your parents is fine, but they will need to show that there is at least one room for your exclusive use and, ideally, another for the child. If they own they will need proof of this; e.g. mortgage statement, copy of the deeds. If they rent then a letter from their landlord confirming that you can live there and that there is room for you.

    Financial support from your father will be OK for the short term; but you will need to show that this is a temporary arrangement and you will be able to support yourselves within a reasonable period. Your father will need to show he has the means to support you; bank statements and wage slips or other proof of income.

    See Maintenance and accommodation

    Forgot to add, she will need to mention the previous visa on the relevant part of the application form. To avoid the risk of further questions, and consequent delay in the application, she should also explain what happened to that relationship in her initial, written application.
