Thai family moving to Indonesia ...getting a U.K. Visa

[chonburi12]

Hi all,

 

My family and I will be moving to Indonesia at the end of the year but would like to visit the U.K. At Christmas. I am British and my wife has a U.K. Passport. My two step children will need visas for the U.K.

 

I have a few questions about this and any information you can give me would really help:

 

* Firstly can I get a U.K. Visa from Jarkarta for Thais or does this need to be done in Bangkok?

*Secondly, once we have the visa for the U.K. Can this be used from another airport rather than Jakarta as we would like to book a direct flight from Bangkok to the U.K. as they don't currently offer a direct flight in Jakarta to the U.K?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave.

Being pedantic, you can't get a UK visa anywhere as you are British!

 

UK visa applicant's should usually apply in their country of nationality or their country of legal residence. So your two Thai step children can apply in Jakarta; provided they are legally resident in Indonesia.

On arrival at a UK port of entry UK Border Force will be concerned whether or not the person seeking entry meets the requirements for same. Where they have travelled from is of no interest.
