UK Embassy confirmation letter(bf/gf)

[MrPatrickThai]

Hi, my Thai friend(dual Thai/Uk citizen has asked me to write a confirmation letter that he has known his girlfriend for 4 years.

Could anyone help me to find a sample letter to confirm this? he also has a letter from his dad in Uk  confirming where he is staying.

Thanks

In your heading you've mentioned the word "Embassy", is your friend assisting his girlfriend with a visit visa application?

 

I'm not sure that there will be a template available as I'm not sure what reliance an ECO would place in such a document, they'll be expected hard evidence of a relationship not a cobbled together letter.

 

The offer of accommodation is one thing, the letter you've been asked to supply is, in my opinion, pretty meaningless, all you could honestly say is that you've been in their company.

Like theoldgit, if the purpose is a UK visa application I fail to see what purpose such a letter would serve.

 

If they need to provide evidence of their relationship for a UK visa application, then the ECO will want to see hard evidence. Such as evidence of their living together, if they do, or if they live apart then evidence of contact between them and, if one lives in Thailand and the other doesn't, evidence in the form of entry and, if appropriate, exit stamps in their passport of visits.

 

As the letter your suggest is not required, and would carry little weight if supplied, there is no template. If you do want to write one, use your own words.

Thanks guys, as I thought, it's a pretty useless letter for a visitor visa.

To keep them happy I'll throw something together.
