Uk Tourist Visa

[60minuteman]

simple question, i have searched extensively on here already, not found the answer....

does the length of stay for a tourist visa application bear any relevance to the decision of the ECO.... for instance my gf has applied for a 3 month visit, after knowing me for 5 months and actually being with me 4 weeks. she has an internet cafe business so she can afford the time off work, but i wonder if she was only staying for 6 weeks in the uk would the ECO be more likely to say yes.....?

i know that they look as the application as a whole, and not on one single factor.... but im just trying to give my first application as strong as possible,

As you say, they will look at the application as a whole; it largely depends on the purpose of the visit and her circumstances in Thailand..

Three months is a long time to leave a business unattended. I would suggest that she or you explains what will be happening to her business while she is away for so long.

They possibly will say this is far too long to leave an established business in Thailand.
