I’m from Thailand and planning to apply for fiancé visa next week. We’re now finalising the documents and would appreciate if anyone could help us check if we’ve missed anything.
- Cover letters from both of us
- Appendix 2 (not sure if this is still needed) Not mandatory but if you feel can add
- Applicant’s current passport and the previous ones + copies of ID pages and pages with stamps
- Certified copy of sponsor’s passport ID page
- Applicant’s old BRP
- Applicant’s TB certificate + doctor’s note (‘abnormal’ result but not related to TB)
- Applicant’s master’s degree certificate from a UK university
- Do we also need family consent form as well? Not needed
- We don't need to pay for the health surcharge for fiancé visa right? No
Accommodation
- Mortgage agreement
- Property valuation report (showing number of habitable rooms)
- Official copy of register of title
- Council Tax 2020/21 showing single occupancy
- Photos of the house
Plans to marry
- Emails from registry office regarding availability (no booking confirmed)
- Emails from the venue with initial quotes (no booking confirmed)
- Brochure of the ceremony venue
Sponsor’s Financial Evidence
- Contract of employment
- P60
- Six months play slips signed by HR manager
- Letter from HR manager confirming the salary and authenticity of the payslips
- Bank statements covering the 6 months period — these are the original ones sent via post, so I assume no stamp needed, right?
Proof of relationship
- Photos of us together, dated and captioned
- Hotel and flight bookings
- Gift receipts and a few photos
- My bank statements addressed to my fiancé’s house (to show cohabitation when I was a student)
- Letter from my GP addressed to my fiancé’s house (to show cohabitation when I was a student)
- A few letters and notes we wrote each other
- Chat and call logs, one screen shot a week over 2-year period
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
If you can still upload now please do it and which documents do you still have left?benth wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:17 pmThank you, AmazonianX, for your reply.
I have another concern I hope you or anyone else could help me with.
I originally thought that I could self upload supporting documents any time before my appointment, but I just realised on my email it says 'Remember you can log back into your account and upload additional supporting documents until the day before your appointment'.
I'm a bit worried now as this is now a bit past midnight, so it's technically the same day as the appointment, and I still have one or two documents to upload. Would documents uploaded now be considered?

I will upload it asap if it is still allowing you to upload documents. The ECO will look at all documents on the file so the earlier you do it now the better.benth wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:45 pmI still haven't uploaded cover letters and chat logs.TODMATT wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:36 pmIf you can still upload now please do it and which documents do you still have left?benth wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:17 pmThank you, AmazonianX, for your reply.

Not sure if this changed as i was still self uploading at my biometrics appointment. You can attempt to upload or take the remaining/outstanding documents for upload at your biometrics appointment. Note that this service may come at a cost.benth wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:17 pmThank you, AmazonianX, for your reply.

They won't even try to upload the chats at the VAC which is a shame!AmazonianX wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:53 pmNot sure if this changed as i was still self uploading at my biometrics appointment.

I am glad everything seems to work out for you in the end. Good luckbenth wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 8:04 amHi. Just wanted to post a little update. I was able to self-upload all the documents last night. Even though it was after midnight, it still shows on the appointment paper as the previous day (probably based on UK time, since I'm 7 hours ahead). The VFS agent at the Bangkok centre was also very helpful and assured me that they can be uploaded anytime before biometric data collection.
Thanks on the update. Dont know when they instituted cap o upload of documents pre biometrics. Wish you success with the application.benth wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 8:04 amHi.

Congratulations.benth wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 8:33 amHi. Just wanted to update I got my passport back today and my visa was granted. I feared the worst as I got the decision much earlier than expected. Only took 39 days. I did pay for the priority service but was told it's not available and got the refund.
Here's my timeline:
Online application: 21/12/20
Appointment: 28/12/20
Passport picked up: 5/02/21
