Hi ,

My Thai Gf of 4 years as been in the UK for the past 6 weeks (1st Visa) and has really enjoyed herself, she has got on with me, my family and my friends extremelly well and has adapted to the culture brilliantly.Unfortunaltely next week she will fly back home which will be very upsetting for every body.

My girlfriend intends to come back to the UK next year on another tourist visa (2nd Visa) for a longer period I.E 6 months, if she states that she intends staying 6 months will the ECO frown on this.

We do intend to make a commitment to each other in the near future and threfore would like to no what my options would be after the 2nd visitor visa. I.e Fiancee, settlement ect , Im not sure what the differences are.

I thought somebody had posted a simalar question, but I cannot find the post

You help on this would be much appreciated

Many Thanks

A Fiance visa is basically a 6 month visa with permission to marry in the UK, once married you apply for a 2 year settlement visa called FLR.

If you marry in Thailand you can apply for a 2 year settlement visa which is the cheapest option.
