theoldgit Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Yes, Thai people can apply to visit the at the moment, there was a short time earlier in the year when applications wre not being accepted, but that's long since passed, even then Thais could still travel to the UK if they already had a visa. Your friend is probably aware that returning home to Thailand involves jumping through some hoops, and quarantine on return, but many are also doing that. Do you think it's really wise to travel at the moment though, given the current restrictions in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering will my disability and my benefits stop anything or is it all down to her part what she can provide as stated we both have money and I still have 1000 UK pounds per month coming in income Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by a more permanent visa you're meaning a visa to settle in the UK, there's no "stepping stone", if she's refused a visit visa, she could still qualify for a Settlement Visa if all the qualifications are met. As per finances, it's up to her to prove her proposed trip is genuine and affordable, if you're intending to finance the trip then you must show you have the means to do so, whilst having sufficient to live on. If she's paying for her trip then she must provide evidence of her ability to do so. Where do you live, a lot of the UK is under Covid restrictions, two months is a long time for a visit under those conditions, I suspect the decision maker will take that into consideration. You're probably aware, but it's worth repeating, it's her that needs to satisfy the ECO of her ties to her home country and that she's factored in the current hoops to jump through to be able to return.

nomad2019 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm just concerned in case she got knocked back it would ruin her for future applications would it or would it not thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Doubtful. I've seen applications rejected and immediately afterwards successfully reapplied with the reasons for rejection addressed and resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the applicant would need to address the reasons for refusal in any subsequent application. As I mentioned yesterday the burden of proof differs according the the type of visa.
