I am British guy who has been married to my wife a Khmer lady for over 10 years and we have 3 children who have British passports. Years ago we thought about moving to the UK but in the end we decided it is not really what we wanted so we put it off.
Anyway, now our children are much older we think now is the time to spend a lot more time in the UK so our kids can get familiar with the British culture and my family. We do not plan on moving to the UK, at least any time soon, we have a very comfortable life here
but we may at some stage in the future. My question is if we wanted to spend 3 months a year in the UK which visa would be the best to go for? Taken into consideration we may at sometime in the future want to move to the UK. And, how long is my wife allowed to be in the UK? I know visas say 6 months per year for a family visitor but is anyone ever granted visas for that length of stay. I would imagine 3 months will be max we will ever want as we have businesses here to run and can not leave them longer than 3 months.
Thanks for any advice, cheers
