Visa To The Uk, Thai Wife And 9 Month Daughter

[westybrook]

Hello

My family have recently come over to Thailand and would like me, my wife and daughter to go live in the UK with them. I am married to a thai lady (24 years old) I am 25 years old and we have a 9 month old daughter.

What visa would we need to apply for? I hear there is a holiday (tourist visa) and a marridge visa? Which one would we need?

What are the requirements for both and how long does the application take from start to finish?

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from anyone with some advice for us, thank you

Rob,

If by "live" you mean to stay permanently, then your wife will need a settlement visa. Do a bit of a search and you should come up with what's needed.

Your daughter, depending upon how you gained your British citizenship, might well be entitled to a British passport too, in which case she won't require a visa.

Thanks scouse, great to see your still on this website helping people

Is a holiday visa out of the question if shes already married to me? I was told if you are married already then you can not apply for that

Hi

My wife had to attend an interview on Tuesday and was told that she would get the outcome sometime next week so sitting here fingers crossed that its a YES but if its a refusal will have to go through the whole procedure again.

Do they return all your documents if its a NO?

Your wife can still apply for a holiday visa, but that doesn't entitle her to live in the UK. The longest she could then stay is 6 months.

Do they return all your documents if its a NO?

Yes. If they fail to do so, then telephone the embassy and ask for them.

Scouse.
