Best visa for uk visit

[muay_thai]

Has anyone had any experiences and knowledge of which visa application is most likely to be able to bring my thai g/f back to the UK, and if so has anyone used any successful agencies or been scammed by any ?

Advice much appreciated.

My wife, then g/f,  came over on a tourist visa.  Dead easy to get.   Really the UK embassy only wanted to know if she had a job and would she still have one to come back to.

But this is not a good way to get her into the UK for settlement.   We had a tough time (and rightly so) going through the process of getting ILR.  I believe the Brits have made this even tougher now.

If you go for a fiance visa then make sure you have a job!  I know it sounds daft but having a job, no matter how good/bad, means more to the embassy staff then "having money, but no job".  Really they just want to be sure you can support her without state aid.
