FIANCEE Thai VISAS   

In order to obtain a fianc?e visa a wedding in the UK may be booked at an Anglican Church but not at a registry office. Often a local registry office will offer a provisional booking and this is accepted by the Embassy.After your marriage in the UK form FLR(M) must be completed to allow your wife to start her two year probationary period and allow her to remain in the UK before the expiry of her fianc?e visa.After the two years is completed you can apply for ILR if you have knowledge of life in the UK.Please note that a fiancee is not allowed to use the National Health Service other than as a fee paying patient and if she is pregnant at the time of application you may well be asked to deposit a large amount of money with your local NHS trust before a visa will be granted. After you are married and her two year visa has been granted she is entitled to use the NHS for free if her husband is qualified to use it gratis  

MARRIED PARTNER Thai VISAS 

This visa is for people who are already married. If you have been married for over four years indefinite leave to remain in the UK may be granted, however you must pass the KOL requirement to gain ILR. In all other cases a probationary visa valid for two years from the date of issue will be given after which further leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain will need to be applied for in the UK  

You marry in Thailand and  apply for a 2 year settlement visa which allows your Spouse to legally work on arrival in the UK once she has been issued with a national insurance number.
