How long can my Thai girlfriend come to the UK for the first time Answer

Do not presume that your Thai wife will have an automatic right to come to the UK because that is not the case. Even when you are married you will have to prove how long you have known each other and provide ways in which you keep in contact, like telephone bill, emails, skype, money transfers.

Your Thai wife or Thai girlfriend can come to the UK for the first time for up to six months

Your Thai wife or Thai girlfriend can come to the UK for the first time for up to six months. The UK visitors visa is issued with a six month deadline. When the visa is granted the six months starts from the date. If your wife travels to the UK 2 months after getting the visa she will only be able to stay for 4 months.

Make sure your wife returns within the time given on the visa because if she over stays she may be refused any more UK visas. The worse case she could be banned from the UK for 10 years and trust me this does happen.
