Has anyone had any experience of getting a visitor visa for the UK, for a Thai with permanent resident status in the US.

 

We were going to visit earlier this year when a friend was getting married, but that sorta fell through.

 

But another friend has invited us to visit, but I/we aren't prepared to jump through hoops, pay the money and experience some of the horror stories of Brits trying to get wives/girlfriends a visa, if it's a dicey proposition.

 

I've visited the UK before, I can live without visiting again if it's a 50:50 deal for my wife

Getting a UK visitor visa is not difficult as long as you can show sufficient funds and good reasons why the person will return. It will be easier for a person with US residency than it would for an ordinary Thai resident because it means they have more options in life. We've applied for a received five UK visa's, we're now on a 5 year tourist visa which is nice to have in the back pocket in case of emergencies.

Thats good to know.

 

We live in the US 9 out of 12 months, my wife is employed here, by the US Government as it happens.

 

I will just be really <deleted> off if we go through it all and waste money at the end of the day
