Uk Visit Visa Question

[taximan1954]

Hi, Can anyone advise ?, My Thai g/f of 4 years has been granted visit visas the past 3 years, We want to apply again when I go back later this month, Is there a limit to the number of visit visas that you can apply for?, Dont really want to go down the marriage route at this point. Thanks. .

I am moving this topic to from the forum "Thai visas, residency and work permits" to the forum "Visas and migration to other countries"

No there is no set limit for the number of visas but she shouldn't normally spend more than six months out of twelve in the UK.

Each application is assessed on it's merits and your girlfriend will need to convince the ECO on each occasion that's it's a genuine visit, ie she's not using a visit visa to circumnavigate the settlement route, the visit is affordable and that she is likely to leave the UK at the conclusion of the visit.
