dixon, it is my understanding that for a marriage visa application, the person who is applying must be legally married - now, while the laws of UK apply to the UK embassy, the marriage must have legal status before the application - at least it does in Canada. So, if a Thai lb is not legally married in Thailand, then how can she apply for a marriage visa to UK?
While UK laws are governing the UK embassy, it cannot make a non-recognized Thai marriage legal unless the marriage took place in the UK embassy.
Or does the UK marriage visa allow for marriage in UK after arrival? This is different than the US or Canada - where a fiancee visa applies to that situation.

Ok Dixon, thanks for the links, so it is just proving the following conditions is enough:
That makes things crystal clear for anyone contemplating this process for the UK.
* any previous marriage, civil partnership or similar relationship, has permanently broken down
* you have been living together in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership for two years or more
* you have suitable accommodation which is owned or lived in only by you and your household, and where you and your dependants can live without any help from public funds
* you can support yourselves and any dependants without any help from public funds
* you intend to live together permanently
* your partner is not under 21, and
* you are not under 21.
The Entry Clearance Officer will need to see evidence of a two-year relationship. This may include:
* documents showing joint commitments, such as bank accounts, investments, rent agreements or mortgages, and
* letters linking you to the same address, and official records (such as a gas or electricity bill or proof of your rent or mortgage arrangements) of your address
That makes things crystal clear for anyone contemplating this process for the UK.

The conditions above are the same as what was required when a marriage visa for my wife was applied for all those years ago, apart from the 21 years of age. Bumming age in the UK used to be 21, but it is now 18.

The main things they are looking for is an invitation from a sponsor who can prove he can support the costs of visit and a reason for the applicant to have to return home, job or college
Bit off track I guess... but what comes to mind reading through this thread...
Tourist visa for up to 6 months is indeed easy to attain and a v.nice way to see if you gel as a 'real' couple, and more importantly to see if you can make the relationship part of your own daily life. Even though I do not have any baggage back home (read: wife, kids, lalalala), the latter is what I think of. My life here is so super hectic, and I love the fact that 2 or 3 times a years I can leave it all behind for a few weeks, go LOS and be with my dream girl. If I were to marry her, and bring her to my country, our lifes would turn 180 degrees, for me a major adjustment in the way I live, for her, well a new country, culture, et al. significantly different from SEA. There is a difference between 2,5 months hols, 6 month visit, and 24/7 12 months a year.
I am actually starting to like a lot the idea of moving to SEA, as such instead of visiting a few times a year, visit more frequently, have her spend some time with me. Perhaps do that for a few years, see if it works, and then make a next move, eventually settling down somewhere where we both feel at 'home.' I am used to living abroad, so easy transition, I wouldnt ask the same from her, most of these girls have never been exposed to life outside LOS. Hence, if you're willing to do this, do so smartly, and make the transition slowly. Then again, am I willing to give up my life as I live it now back home... grass always seems greener on the other side right. I guess if I could that would mean that I really love the girl... right ... based on in total x weeks of time together in holiday mode, and talking on Skype, sms, etc. Then again I guess that's the way love goes. Then again why did I go LOS? Meet the girl of my dreams or butterfly? What are her intentions? Etc. As such I'd rather take the risk of moving myself, stay in control and leave my options open...
Point I guess is if you really want something, you will always get it, but before you do so think it through, and then think again...

Some well thought out comments Dutch.I am thinking it's far better conducting the relationship in the los rather than back in the west.And when you pose the question why did i go to the lol to butterfly or find a meaningful relationship its got me thinking.
It's nice to be able to leave the pressures of your job and the depressing weather to head out to paradise a few times a year.
CHECK OUT OF REALITY INTO PARADISE thats the bottom line...

Well analysed, DC
That's the way I'm thinking ... given present circumstances.
Of course, i went to LOS solely to butterfly (and was known as such) - what actually happened was unexpected ... in much the same way as it did the very few other times in my life. I am using those past experiences as a benchmark.
So, all progress of the relationship will definitely be in LOS for the forseeable future.

Not too many Yanks on this forum. (or so it seems).
Just in case anybody is wondering about bringing your LB to the USA for a visit, here is some handy information:

Don't know anybody who's done it. At the moment, it's just kind of a fantasy. Would love to take a beautiful LB with me on a Harley ride through Northern California and the Oregon coastline.
maybe someday.
