Hello, about a year ago I try to get my Thai boyfriend a 'Family Visit' visa for the UK. We were refused So now a year on I am trying again this time for a tourist visa.... Because we are trying a second time and not for the same type of visa will this make his chances of getting the visa less possible?

Thankyou to anyone who can help

^ Why did they refuse first time around on the 'family visit' visa.

Each application is treated on it's own merits. Your boyfriend will need to show that he meets the criteria for the visa he is applying for now.

However, why did your boyfriend apply for a family visit last time? Why was it refused? This may be relevant, depending on the answers.
