I have just got involved in the following.
A Thai, now naturalised British, girl in the UK wants to take her parents over there for two weeks for her wedding.
They are Isaan farmers. She has bought them return air tickets and put herself down as their sponsor. They were both refused a visa today on the grounds that they may not want to return to Thailand. This is highly unlikely as they have a decent house and land upcountry.
It seems they may have not taken enough paperwork to the embassy as in the reasons given for the suspicion they were economic migrants is the lack of proof they were the parents and they had not taken their land titles with them.
So my first question is that on the appeal form it asks whether you want the appeal decided on papers lodge here in Bangkok or with a oral hearing in the UK with their sponsor representing them. Which is better?
Second question. Has anyone been successful with an appeal in recent times?
Or is it really a case of only rich people get a UK tourist visa nowadays?
