I met my Thai girlfriend in a beer bar in Pattaya, we have been dating for 6 months and we plan on getting married in the UK, I am concerned that the British embassy will not grant my Thai girlfriend a visa because she worked in a Beer Bar in Pattaya. Can I marry a Thai bargirl?

It is important to remember that any information you give on the visa application will be held on record, so if you lie in the beginning, it is difficult to change to the truth later. The Bristish embassy has a very open mind when it comes to relationships between Thai ladies and British men. The truth is many applications are made every day from a Thai lady that worked in the sex industry either in a Go Go Bar or a beer bar.

Getting a Fiancee visa in your Thai girlfriend’s passport is not impossible, but it is also not easy

The embassy are looking for proof of a real relationship, this is the important area. Ensure that you have evidence to demonstrate that you talk regular and share a life and a future together. Getting a Fiancee visa in your Thai girlfriend’s passport is not impossible, but it is also not easy. It takes time to collate the correct amount of evidence needed at the time of the visa application.

Always remember that the embassy needs to believe that you are in a real relationship with full intentions of getting married. If the embassy is not completely convinced with your application, the fiancée visa will be refused.
