Indefinite remain to stay UK residence permit
I have lived in the UK with my Thai wife for a two year period and because I am retired we like to spend approximately 8 months of the year in Thailand.
We have recently applied at the Home Office for a further UK Visa extension and we expected to get an indefinite remain to stay UK residence permit but we only received a limited period of stay for 1 year why is this?
Answer
There can be numerous reasons why this decision has been made and you should receive notification why.
With regards to the details in your question it is fairly obvious to the decision maker that your Thai wife has spent more time out of the UK during her 2 year UK settlement visa than in which would raise the question “Is she settled in the UK or not?”.
spend as much time as possible in the UK and prove your Thai wife is settled.
There are no strict guidelines to follow so I always advise my clients to reside a minimum of 9 months in the first year and 9 months of the second year or try to spend as much time as possible in the UK and prove your Thai wife is settled.
