Applying for UK visa from Thailand

Applying for UK visa from Thailand can be problematic. If you are getting married in Thailand to your fiancee then you need to register your marriage before you can apply for a UK spouse visa. If you are only engaged to get married then you can still apply for a UK fiancee visa.

Also ensure that the UK spouse visa requirements have been met when making an application.

Note that there are 3 popular UK Visas which are applied for in Thailand. The visitors visa is the most popular and is also the most rejected visa as paperwork may be incomplete or the person applying many have been banned from the UK for overstaying their prior visa.

This is a short term visa for tourism or to visit family who live in the UK. They are going to want you to show that you will not overstay your visa. After the first UK visa the next one tends to be easier as you had been to the UK before. You will need to show employment, property and anything else that will want to make you return to Thailand.

The UK fiancee visa is the most common visa for Britain after the tourist visa from Thailand. You will need to show that you have accommodation as well as an income you get your Thai fiancee her visa. Once there you will need to get married and have her visa status changed. This does take a while however the application process requires a criminal record check as well as a medical checkup. Most of these do get approved. Those application where you get a visa denial are rare but they do occur. 

Not as common as the fiancee visa for the UK. You will need to have all the correct documentation. Most tend to return to the UK first if they had retired in Thailand. They return to the UK yo obtain accommodation and employment. Then apply  to bring their Thai wife back to the UK. It is very rare that the person arrived as a tourist and then got married in Thailand. Most applications tend to be those who have lived in Thailand for an extended period of time either retired or working.
