Visa For The Uk

[deon]

I have been with my wife for six years now , it was a village ceremony so we are not really married .Anyway to cut along story short, i would like her to come to the uk for a visit.The thing is i am not in work at the moment but i do have some savings.At the moment i am living at home , And there is many rooms in the house .

My mum has said it is ok for her to come and stay and she has even written a letter to her saying she is welcome to come and stay here in the uk.

My other half works at a school and she can only get two weeks of work But they have said if she does go to the uk then her job would still be open .

So the reason for this post is i would like to know my chances of her being able to get a visa even though i am not working but i do have some savings .We have some prove of contact just not much in letters or e mails as we always talk on messenger as when i first meet her she was working in a net shop .Ps all this visa stuff is new to me so all help would be welcome .

So does anyone think there would be a chance, of getting a visa for her to visit for 2 weeks or not ?.

If you can prove your relationship is on going and have proof etc, this may help.

To come to the United Kingdom as a general visitor you must be able to show that you:

only want to visit the United Kingdom for up to six months;

plan to leave the United Kingdom at the end of your visit;

have enough money to support and accommodate yourself without working, help from public funds or you will be supported and accommodated by relatives or friends;

do not intend to charge members of the public for services provided or goods received;

do not intend to study; and

can meet the cost of the return or onward journey.

do not intend to carry out business, sport or entertainer visitor activities;

do not intend to marry or form a civil partnership or give notice of marriage or civil partnership;

do not intend to receive private medical treatment during your visit , and

are not in transit to a country outside the Common Travel Area.

Hi Mate

i just got visa for my G/F to come to England but she came on a fiancee visa because when I applied she had to have a good reason to return to Thailand i.e. she owned land or had her own prpoperty. If your G/F has a good job in Thailand it would be an idea to get a letter of leave from her employer and state the return date back to work. If you have a sponsour that can support your stay and provide accomadation with bank statemants with savings, payslips, photos together, hotel bills in both names, SMS together to prove you are a couple. It takes quite a long time but the more information you provide the better your chance of being succsessful.

Good Luck

My wife had three tourist visas to the UK before we were married.

Firstly you will have to show you are in a genuine relationship with photos etc when you're together in Thailand and are in constant contact while you're back in the UK. Supply any phone bills, 'bannana cards' and emails you have. Does messenger have a history page? A friend of mine who used to call his wife on Skype just got the history pages up with all the calls on his PC monitor and photographed them. I know the British Embassy accepted that as contact.

Next you will have to show that the trip can be financed (the money doesn't have to be in her bank account), details and proof of where she will be staying in the UK and a brief itinary of what you will be doing/where you'll be going etc while in the UK.

Next (and probably most important) she will have to show (prove) she will return to Thailand at the end of her visit. If she's a teacher at very least she wil need a letter from the school head stating that she works there, the length of time and dates of the days they are giving her for the holiday and that her job will be there when she returns. If she owns her own house that will also help.

Lastly a GOOD sponsors letter is just as important. As well as giving reasons for the visit try to show how long you've known each other and how your relationship has developed up to the present day. I think the information you provide to show you have a genuine relationship should also show how it has progressed since you first met.

And if she has to have an interview make sure she gives the same info that you have in the letter, because they'll be looking for differences in what you both say.

Good Luck.
