Hello

I am applying for a settlement visa for my Thai partner to come and live with me (UK citizen) in the UK. I am now just starting to gather information together of what requirements are needed.

We have been in a relationship for three years or more now and have visted the UK on a tourist visa together.

In the UK we will have a room in my Mothers house - is it so that I need to own the house? Or is it OK with the requirements that we live with/in her my/our home?

On the online application they have asked for an itinerary? What is it they are asking? What we will be doing for the next two years? Do they mean work? Is this something that would go with the supporting documents?

Also for the spoken test to be taken what exactly is it what needs to be known? We want to make sure we know what is required to be known before taking the test :-/

Is there somewhere I can find a list of the supporting documents needed (like they had for the tourist visa) so I can tick them off one by one.

Also how dose one prove one has a civil partnership recognised in the UK? 'Recognised in the UK' is the bit I am unsure off..... Are we going to have to get married???

One last thing....

How much money would be recomended for my Thai partner to have in the bank? Plus also for me in my bank?

Once again thank you for your help and time as you may know already it is greatly appreciated!

Smiles all round

So has anyone out there had to take the 'spoken test' requirement for the UK settlement visa? Just wanting to know what you need to know :-/ Thank you

My Thai other half and I (from UK) have been to England on a six month tourist visa. Now back in Thailand again we want to go back to the UK for two years or more. Do we need to get marred to do this? Is there another way. We want to get marred but we don't want to do it for visa reasons. We want to do it when we are ready. What is the best visa to apply for? I have a house in the UK my other half has money in the bank. We will both want to work in UK. Maybe have babies there etc.... Anyone can help???? Just need to know what visa it is I need to apply for Thank you

Hi swadee ka! My Thai boyfriend and I would like to venture to America together. We have been to many countries together already and would now like to go to America! All I hear from people is how difficult the USA is to enter - can someone tell me the requirements? Do we need to have lots of money in our bank accounts and a house, garden and dog? If any one could point us in the right direction thankyou very much!!!!
