Multi year visa (UK for Cambodian citizen)?
Multi year visa (UK for Cambodian citizen)?
Hi
Has anyone gone though this process before. I noticed the options on the gov.uk website and they seem useful.
Mainly 5 or 10 years.
I would like to go for a 10 year tourist visitor visa for the missus (allows entry for 10 years, at 6 months let time)
Cost is $1,000 which seems ok as that is same as 10 x 6 months.
Just wondering how much more paperwork is needed (have done the 6month before) and the likelihood of getting. As I believe it if fully non refundable.
Any help or experience in going through the process would be helpful. In no rush as planning months in advance.
Reason for going this is the effort to go through each time you need a visa. Plus you can only start process 3 months in advance, which is a bit annoying

Spacing between each stay?
How long was each stay?
Is she the mother of a UK passport holder (and you the father)?

no kids, not married, but I assume enough money and "reason to return to Cambodia"
Guessing it could be a long shot, but just trying to see options as it would save a lot of time

Re: Multi year visa (UK for Cambodian citizen)?
Yes, I think you would need more track record than that but I suggest you ask one of the better visa agents in Pattaya, nobody knows more about UK visas than them. I am out of touch as to which companies are good, maybe Key Visa. If they take it on they will offer a no visa no fee guarantee. You'll still lose your application fee of course but it means they don't want to waste their time on a hopeless case. Their fee will be $1000+ but miles cheaper than a UK lawyer. They will probably be happy to chat on the phone before you commit.Joe5 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 03, 2022 12:14 pmTwice, 2 years apart, for about a month eacharmchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 03, 2022 11:54 amHow many times has she been already?Joe5 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:25 pm Hi

OTOH, this Uktaine express 48 hour palaver which is fcuking everything up for everyome else won't go on forever, so we will return to the normal 3 weeks processing time. If you only plan to go every other year, I would stick with that. Having got 2 already, you run little risk of a refusal on that route.
Re: Multi year visa (UK for Cambodian citizen)?
Thanks @armchairlawyer good idea with the Pattaya route, that's a good option.
Would like to see if anyone has done in Cambodia too as they may see it differently
Thanks for the advice.
Will update after I have gone through (or decided against)
