I am looking at taking my long term thai Gf back to the Uk to see if she likes it. However do I need any special visa or checks for her to get out of thailand. we are only traveling for a month before returning to BKK as this is where we both work.

Expat advice would be kindly appreciated?

She doesn't need a visa to get out of Thailand, but she will need one to get in to the U.K.

She should apply for a visit visa at the visa application centre at a current cost of £63.00. If you do a search on the forum for UK visit visas, you should get the info you need about the application process and supporting documentation etc. If you have any specific questions, then by all means come back with those.

Scouse.

She just needs to apply for a tourist visa and meet the requirements. There is nothing special or special checks. Goto this website http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pa...d=1018696642519 and have a search of this site and your questions will be answered.
