pac4155 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi All, Newbie here, wanting information on applying for a settlement visa for my Thai wife. I plan to marry in Thailand in April and submit a visa application at that time, complete with marriage certificate. I've read some of the articles in the Forum concerning visas, but really need an idiot-proof guide to the process. I don't want to use an agent, as I'm of above average intelligence and can write my own name (not in crayon). This topic has probably been covered dozens of times before, I just need someone to point me to the relevant string and replies. Many thanks for your help. pac4155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbepat Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 First thing i would say, It would be better if you said which country you wish the visa for. as different rules apply to each country. Regards Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Indeed. We cannot help you if we don't know which country you are asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thongkorn Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If you want a settelment visa for the Uk , print off VAF4 forms from the Boarder Agency site , Then go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the UK I need help with, already downloaded the spouse visa application form from the UK Border Agency website. Any advice/assistance greatly appreciated. pac4155 First thing i would say, It would be better if you said which country you wish the visa for. as different rules apply to each country.

7by7 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The following 2 links will take you to the guidance issued to Entry Clearance Officers; the people who make the actual decision on applications. Maintenance and accommodation SET03 - Spouses Also the following should be useful to you. Settlement - visa application guide New English language requirement for visa applicants coming to join partners in the UK Tuberculosis testing for applicants visiting the UK for longer than 6 months For where and how to apply, fees etc. see the Official UK visa application website in Thailand. Once you've read through that lot, if you've any questions feel free to ask. BTW, I've amended the topic title to show that you are asking about the UK.
