If you are a British national and wish to marry your Thai girlfriend in the UK, you will need to apply for a UK Fiancée Visa. It will allow you Thai fiancée entry into the UK for a period of up to six months. During these six months, you will need to get married.
What is required for a UK Fiancée Visa?
You will need to meet the following criteria:
- Proof that you have a venue booked or that you have firm arrangements to marry
- You both must be 18 years of age or older
- You must have met in person
- You must plan to live together permanently
- If you plan to convert the visa to a UK Spouse Visa after marriage, you will need to prove an income of £18,600 or have enough money saved in a UK bank account
Language Requirements
It is essential that your Thai fiancée can speak English and will need to demonstrate this by passing either the A1 English test or the IELTS test. The test can be taken at registered centres across Thailand.
Dependents
Dependent children MAY be allowed to enter the country at the same time as your Thai fiancée although this is not guaranteed. Arranging a dependent’ visa is far easier after you are married.
