Hi, I'm not sure if this is the exact correct place to post this topic, but here goes and feel free to move it to the correct section. I have a wife and daughter currently living in Thailand and my plan has always been to finish my studies to enable me to get a job in the UK that is guaranteed to ea...

Anyone have any ideas about this?? 'I mean that as my wife would get a EU family partner visa so could my daughter as although she is English, she is also Thai and also a family member. But I do see your point regarding that. It's all a bit too complex for me.' Also does anyone know if they do get a...

Wow just went to pick up the certified translated copies in Hua Hin and was told that for a UK passport for my daughter I have to have a court order saying I'm responsible for the child as we aren't/weren't married when our daughter was born! This is news to me. Can anyone confirm this? Who told yo...

I'd simply have to make two non-EU family member applications providing proof she's my daughter! I don't get it. If you include proof that she is your daughter, that means that your daughter is a British citizen and that rules her out for a UK visa. A British citizen can not be issued a visa to ent...

Had some great news after talking to an immigration specialist. If anyone is in a similar position it might be helpful. So I wouldn't have to have the UK passport ready for my daughter in advance, I'd simply have to make two non-EU family member applications providing proof she's my daughter! I comp...

That's pretty sharpish logical1, my long birth certificate is back in the UK so I'll have to wait until I'm back in the UK before applying. This may perhaps call into question our relationship, but I'll put a couple of photos of us together when she was pregnant and of us as a family to reassure the...

Thanks for your help, so as I understand it isn't necessary to register the birth with the UK authorities and with the added time in this step won't speed up the overall process. Does anyone know as I have been British from birth with British parents/grandparents etc. should this whole process be qu...

She's Thai, but to be honest we aren't married yet, we were planning to within the next few weeks whilst I'm visiting in Thailand. We didn't initially marry because there would be little point in being married and spending years apart anyway. Do you think it will or can cause problems getting an Iri...

So a few more technicalities to this. As I understand it the maximum amount of stay for the spouse on the initial visa is 90 days. The EU1 requires 2 pay slips from the EU citizen. Given that most require you to work a month in hand and it may take a while finding a job is it then advisable for the ...

That's really reassuring Dirk, seems too good to be true after having got so used to the idea of waiting years and years to be together! Thanks for providing that info, it's easy to find conflicting info on forums and as much as I have read the regulations the finer details seem vaguely worded (as i...

Thanks for clearing that up for me secret Simon. I can't help but think it is quite fortunate (or exceptionally well planned and executed) to manage this whole process in 3 months. There are others that have 8-10 weeks of waiting just for the Irish visa and long waits for the EEA family permit to st...

Hi all, I have a number of questions I’ve been struggling to find answers to regarding the Surinder Singh Route. I am from the UK and wish to bring my Thai wife and daughter into the UK, but don’t meet the financial requirements of over £18,600 per year, so I plan to use the Surinder Singh route via...
