Hi,

Wondering if you could help me?

My friend is wanting to bring his girlfriend of 3 years to the UK on a tourist visa, shes Thai.

What visa application form does she need to download??

What is the address of the office she needs to go to for her T.B. test??

And what is the address of the visa centre in bkk she needs to submit her application.

Its been nearly 3 years since I did this for my wife and iv forgot.

Many thanks all

Scotty

If she is his girlfriend, then it is a general visit visa, form VAF1A.

However, if they have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least the last two years (and can prove it) then she is his unmarried partner, and the purpose of the trip is to visit his family, then it would be a family visit visa, form VAF1B.

The difference being that a refusal of a family visit visa can be appealed, where a general visit visa can't.

As she will be visiting the UK for 6 months or less, she does not need a TB test or certificate.

Applications are submitted to the UK visa application centre.
