she'll struggle then

She legit just needs to step foot in an EU country

I told her to get to Calais and get on a dustbin lid

yeah, let's compound the problem jack

True

She'll get a house and everything

did she try and get anything other than holiday visas?

they don't usually refuse holiday visas on grounds of money

Depends how long it is

standard touristy visa is 3 months, no?

If she wants to visit the UK for any reason and for any duration she requires a visa because she's previously been refused entry

That's the rule

aye, i'm just wondering where the initial refusal was from

Years ago she had a different boyfriend and wanted to visit him for like 5 months and didn't get the appropriate visa. She was young and stupid

ahh

Now she's just fucked forever

UK actually having tough immigration control for once

Very strange

Yes

If you're a hard-working Asian with no criminal record and no debt

No Chance

you've already said it was because she made a mistake when younger

Trecked across Europe after crossing the med on a raft

You're welcome

the new system will be much fairer to people

Yeah it is her own fault

Sadly

But it still makes me mad

That she couldn't even come for 13 days tourism

Around my birthday

So in all likelihood I'm going to have to expatriate

And this is why you fill the right stuff out for a 5 month holiday tbh

Yeah I mean she just didn't know any Better laws are laws ect I accept it it's just shitty

you might find permanent migration would bypass the visa issue, but she'll need a degree for that

Yeah she's not getting a degree

Idk if it would make a difference if we got married

Idk

I'm not a lawyer

If we let's say went through a drive through wedding in Vegas and then registered the marriage when we got home to our own countries

Might fix it
