December 9, 200817 yr I have known my girlfriend for the past 3 years and we have traveled europe and thailand together. We have substantial evidence of our time together and contact over the past 3 years. We have now decided that it's time for her to apply for a 6 month UK tourist visa BUT there is a twist, she has been working in Doha for Qatar Airways in their first class lounge for the past two years. Now, she managed to get a Schengen Visa with out any trouble BUT will there be any complications with applying for a UK tourist visa while working outside her home country? Thanks for any help or advice in advance, Karl.
December 10, 200817 yr There shouldn't be any difficulty applying for a UK visit visa for someone who is legally working long-term outside their own country. As long as your g/f can meet the normal criteria, i.e. support and accommodation whilst in the UK and show that she has the job in Doha to go back to, she'll be fine. Airline employees are regarded as relatively low-risk as potential immigration offenders.
