Married Malaysia

Hello Everyone

I am a UK born citizen married and have 3 children. I work full time earn £32k Annually at the moment.

I used to work abroad about 12 months met this woman in Malaysia fell in love now I want to bring her here.

However I have no intention to divorce my wife due to complications (family estate / property and restrictions on my children)

I don't have a great deal of saving in the bank maybe around £12k

My girlfriend is a Malaysian national she has a basic job as a cleaner, her English is good however would be unable to support herself here in the UK with her Malaysian salary.

Any ideas on the best route for her to visit me for long periods of time 6 or 12 months ?

Thanks in advance

From the situation you have outlined in your post, there is only the PBS route - work or study. There is no employment sponsorship for working as a cleaner as the Tier 1 General route was closed some years ago.

Unlikely that she will be granted a visitor visa due to having stronger reasons to remain in the UK than she appears to have in her home country. Neither is there a visitor visa which will permit her extended stays in the UK, which would be seen as 'residing', not visiting.

Your topic is headed 'Married in Malaysia'. Hopefully you haven't married your girlfriend, as you are not free to do so!

Thanks for your reply casa

Study Route- I do know is very expensive because I have done some research at the local University and tution starts from £16K per year she certainly has not got this amount of money.

Work Route - With this route I don't understand how this would work because employers in the UK I am sure could just get a cleaner locally or from Europe easier than bringing all the way from Malaysia as there is no job shortage.

Seems like there is no hope for his one would you agree ?

Exactly....as I mentioned in my previous post.

What about if there was a child in the equation would that make a difference since it would provide a family connection to me and her.

Having a child together doesn't give the right to a settlement visa while you remain married to your wife.

Given your circumstances you are better working out a way to work in Malaysia rather than trying to get her to the UK.

I note you did not confirm that you have not married the individual. If you have married then you can forget the idea of your second wife ever coming to the UK.

No not married in Malaysia just GF at this point however there is no hope with forbidden love.

Thanks to everyone for the good advise and setting the expectations.
