Hi all,

My Thai wife is currently in the UK on a family tourist visa for 6 months which expires in August.I would like to know how soon she can apply for a settlement visa as i heard there is a a 6 month gap between applying for visas.Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

This '6 month gap' is not a rule as such, but a convention that visitors should not spend more than 6 months out of any 12 in the UK.

That's visitors, but your wife will be applying for settlement.

There is no reason why she cannot apply for a settlement visa immediately she returns to Thailand from her visit.

Ok thanks for the reply.What are the new visa rules then? I want my wife to come back next year in February time as i have no holidays at work left for this year and want to go out there and bring her back.Also how long is the average waiting time for a settlement visa as the family visitor only took a week to get issued?Thanks in advance.
