If she meets the criteria for the visa applied for and shows that she does, then it will be issued.

As you have regularly sponsored your spouse over the last 10 years, it would be a good idea to say what happened to that relationship in your sponsor's letter.

You may find UK Visit Visa Basics helpful.

How long you known her.

The amount of time that you have known her is gonna be a factor. Also what reasons has she got for returning to Thailand, job etc.

I recently applied for a visa to the uk for my girlfriend. Only known her 2 months and I didnt do enough homework on what things are needed (a shit load!) 9 months and all the proper evidence and youle be fine, but I think the most important thing is that you can show a relationship and they have a reason to go back. Money and things you can get round by showing you can pay for there whole trip. I wouldnt have thought having a previous partner would have any effect on the outcome.

I would say you must know each other a minimum of 6 months.
