visit visa reasonable months request

[stconan]

hi girlfriend is applying for visit visa in july, we was going to ask for 4 months , trying to work out if possible to leave at the end of september and come back end of january, so to avoid high season.

is this a reasonable request to ask for 4 months on a 6 months visa , because of work is flexible as its her sisters business in korat for time off. but asking the question to clarify , 3 month or 4 does it really matter or is it

just as they feel on the day.

thanks for any response.

As you seem to be posting from the UK I assume that you are talking about a UK Visit Visa.

If your girlfriend can satisfy the Entry Clearance Officer that a four month visit is justified, taking into account the reasons for the visit, affordability and reasons for return then a visa will be issued.

In any case visas that allow multi entry visits over a six month period are normally issued, though if she indicated she wanted to stay for a few weeks and at the UK Border a Border Force Officer asked to see a return ticket and it was for four months hence she could, possibly, encounter a problem.

They'll need to know which country because they aren't mind readers and if they were they wouldn't have to work in a visa office.
