Marry In Thailand And Visa To Uk

[kurtg]

Hello,

I hope someone can help with a few questions.

Me (UK Citizen) and my Fiance (Thai Citizen) met in Dubai, UAE and are looking to go to Thailand and get married, then go to UK and settle. My Fiance is 8 weeks pregnant and we want to have the baby and raise it in the UK.

First: We get to BKK and get married.

Then: We apply for the Spouse visa.

Then: We get to the UK, have the baby and all live happily ever after

Some questions:

1. I left the UK 17 mths ago and have been working in the UAE ever since. I dont have any bank accounts back in the UK, so wont be able to show my last six months bank statements. What to do? I do have a bank account in the UAE and can get the statements from that, but I wont be returning to the UAE to work, will be going to get a job in UK.

2. I am returning to get a job back in the UK and both of us will live at my parents home. Is this a problem with visa application?

3. We can show that she is pregnant with a doctors letter. Does this help the visa application?

4. How long can the Visa process take in BKK?

5. My father is willing to sponsor and show his bank statements, does that help?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Kurtg

1. I think that you may use your UAE bank accounts as evidence to help show that you meet with the Maintenance: General requirements.

2. It is acceptable for a couple to live in an existing household, e.g. that of a parent, uncle, aunt, sibling or friend, as long as they have at least a bedroom for their exclusive use. There should be no overcrowding. However, keep in mind that you will need to produce sufficient documents of co-habitation over the two year period, when subsequently applying for SET(M).

3. See also The Pregnancy Book 2007 and Birth to five: 2007 edition.

4. Frequently asked questions (FAQs) (How long does an application take to process?)

5. See also 9.7 - Assessing adequate means of maintenance for fiancé(e)s and spouses or civil partners.

I was asked by my GF who was refused a visa last month , What if we got married in Thailand , Will this Help!!! Any Answers

Only thing about Marriage,It is the big step and you need to know someone more than 6 months to decide if they are the one and thats why i applied for a 6 month Visa with my Thai GF to get to know her and you hear so many stories.

Pleased to Hear about the Bany , Good luck for the future

True you can get to know someone over 6 months then decide to marry, but sometimes in life you do meet your soul mate that you just connect with and that person you've been looking for is the right one. We've been together for 9 months now, but we both knew very soon into our relationship that we were destined to be together. Many thanks for the good luck, we all need some.
