Hi, whats happens if you marry thai, I mean if you live in UK, and marry thai, what visa they get? How long takes them to be able to work?, is it better to marry in thailand or UK, or dosent matter.

My situation is, Im from EU, not british but I got house in UK, used to live in UK, now moved to thailand for 2 years.

I got thai gf, and we are not married, we got 4 months old, baby got EU citizenship from birth, Im in process of legalizing it and getting her EU passport.

We do business in Thailand, but we want to be prepared for the worst, we need plan B, as you never know how things will go here, and now is very quiet, little tourists, hope it will improve...

From my research back in the day, I know I am allowed to bring my family to UK as a EU resident, I know that. Well need to marry first

What should we do? Me go UK get her in on spouse visa? or just marry in Thailand.

And whats after if she arrive in thailand? what visas she gets, and how long do it takes to get indefinite leave to remain? She will not get my country passport as requirement is U need to live there at least 2 years I think. But my fam live in London.

Hope my question is clear enough, and thanks 4 help.

Why don't you take her to your own country? Or is the UK a softer option?

Are you ashamed of your own country?

Grow up DH

its MY concern because its MY country, that's why....it's not YOUR place of birth....answer my question,

Why are you so ashamed to take her to your own country?

I will be soooo Happy when we pull out of the EU, there are too many foreigners here, and you are just adding to the problem in my way of thinking!!

Like i said, why don't you show her what your shitty country looks like? I KNOW you can do what you want, that is the problem now, we have no control of who comes into OUR OWN country, makes me annoyed....

And by the way, learn to write english correctly, you write like a 6 year old. Take her to YOUR country, end of.....

Read your OP again, you tell me to grow up.....55555.

If you marry then as your wife she will be a qualifying family member under the EEA freedom of movement regulations, so if you move to the UK to exercise an EEA treaty right she can come with you.

A girlfriend is not a qualifying family member. Unmarried partners may be considered as such, but there is no guarantee. At the very least, for the UK, you would need to prove that you have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least the two years prior to her application.

See Apply for an EEA family Permit for more.

If she is granted one, she will be able to legally work in the UK.

In terms of visa requirements, it is commonly the case that entry to another EU country is easier than entry to the home country. Indeed, the UK is used by Surinder-Singhing foreign couples.

One thing the OP must not do is to naturalise as British before his wife/girlfriend gets her permanent residence. If he did that, his girlfriend or wife would probably lose her rights as a member of family of an EEA national. (She might just manage a derived right from the child, but I'm not sure of that.)

Indeed, the UK is used by Surinder-Singhing foreign couples.

Not just the UK; any EEA national can use the Surinder Singh route to live in their home country with their non EEA family; if they qualify.

Indeed, the OP could use Surinder Singh to return to his home country with his wife after they have lived in the UK for the requisite time, provided they meet the other requirements as modified by the case of O & B v The Netherlands.

(She might just manage a derived right from the child, but I'm not sure of that.)

Parents, unless totally financially dependent on their child, are not qualifying family members.

Derived rights for a parent are only available if that parent is the primary carer of the child.
