Super fast UK visa for my TG

[JASONTHAI]

I applied for my TG's visa on Thursday 10th July and on Monday 14th my TG got a phone call to come and collect her passport, now this must be a record for getting a visa but I did have evidence of our 6 year relationship plus we have a house and shop & our son is a British citizen so I was not expecting to get turned down, so now all I have to do is wait until September to bring them back for 3 months

I had one took 2 weeks before we heard a thing thought they had lost the file, they called her for an interview in the end. Was it a tourist visa Jase just out of interest ??

Yes it's a tourist visa and this is her first time to the UK so I was a little surprised that they did not interview her

[Siam Sam]

Congratulations! Fingers crossed for mine! I will know very soon...............................

[Thai Visa Express]

No interviews with a Tourist Visa generally they just issue yes/no also you can get a 2/5/10 multi entry for your wife.

[DirtyDisco]

Congrats fella, nice work, but only 3 months?

[Thai Visa Express]

2 weeks is enough here believe me: she will have a 6 month multi entry anyway inserted in her passport.

[JASONTHAI]

Congrats fella, nice work, but only 3 months?

 

3 months will be enough for her, the plan was to keep them here until Xmas and take them back to celebrate NYE in LOS, as I know I do not want to be in the UK on NYE

So what are the chances of my girl getting a Tourist Visa?, only know her since May, talk everyday on phone and email once a week, she's 33 has a passport but never been out of Thailand, she hopes to make visa for November when I get out there next. I'm guessing slim to none....

 

I've read the Visa link AZZZEY68 posted and have started her getting paperwork together, well her birth cert so far.

 

Oh she isn't work atm, but may got back to school, also has a 4 year old daughter.

[Thai Visa Express]

Ensure if she has a daughter include her in the application as in naming her etc, as you may well need to prove sole responsibility at a later date. It does get quite complex later on if children are involved: a simple tourist visa then becomes a settlement visa then she may want to bring her daughter to the UK im always two stages ahead. Im onto your next application before you have even started your first one

[JASONTHAI]

Congratulations! Fingers crossed for mine! I will know very soon...............................

 

I am sure you will be o.k Sam, best of luck M8

[JASONTHAI]

I am still in shock, I applied for my GF's tourist visa at 1pm on Thursday did not leave there until just after 3 pm , now remember they have to send this off to the British Embassy for approval and the embassy was closed Sat & Sun, she got her visa back on Monday just after 10am, this is under 48 hours, now that is super quick, I applied for my son's British passport and this was done within 5 days also his Thai passport took 6 days & last of all his British Citizenship only took 6 weeks when they told me it could take up to 6 months, wow I am happy with the service the British Embassy gave me, why can't they be like this in the UK

[Scottish_Tyrant]

Congrats mate, that is super fast

 

I was led to believe interviews are not done now for tourist visa's unless there was a problem or they suspected something etc..

 

Happy for you mate

Court backs EU citizens' spouses

 

The ruling confirms the residency rights of family members

The European Union's top court has ruled that non-EU nationals married to EU citizens are entitled to live in their spouse's country.

 

The court overruled a law in the Republic of Ireland, which grants residency only to those who have previously lived in an EU member state.

 

The European Court of Justice had studied the cases of four non-EU nationals married to Irish citizens.

 

It said the Irish refusal of residence permits contradicted an EU directive.

 

"The right of a national of a non-member country who is a family member of a Union citizen to accompany or join that citizen cannot be made conditional on prior lawful residence in another member state," the ruling said.

 

"The (EU) Directive applies to all Union citizens who move to or reside in a member state other than that of which they are a national, and to their family members who accompany them or join them in that member state."

 

The case against the Irish justice ministry was brought by four African men married to EU citizens resident in Ireland. The men had been refused residence permits.

 

The court said the host member state "is, however, entitled to impose penalties, in compliance with the Directive, for entry into and residence in its territory in breach of the national rules on immigration".

 

This may have been posted elsewhere it was on BBC web site last week so if you are married it may be easier now to get your Thai wife into uk -
