Does my Thai fiancée need to return to Thailand for a visa to Spain after our marriage, or can she apply in the UK?

If she has a UK spouse visa she can apply for a Schengen visa in the UK otherwise she will need to apply in Thailand. My personal experience.

I was in the same situation. Uk citizen, Spanish residency, married in Gib though. (Actually don’t need to get married)

She needs to get a visa in order to join you in Spain (can’t remember name of it, it’s something like a reunification visa) The police in Spain will need to see that she has entered the Schengen area AFTER the date that the visa was approved by the foreign office. If she happens to be in Spain on a tourist visa as in my case then she has to leave Schengen and come back to show an entry date after the visa approval date (even if that is to Gibraltar for a night) once that’s done, her residency will be the same as yours and she can get social security number and start working and paying taxes.

Good luck, all in all a bit of a pain in the arse but worth it in the end

Ask the Embassy not fb ffs

Unless you’re 60 years or older DO NOT MARRY A THAI WOMAN unless you plan on staying home forever 😂😂. Good luck

Need a Schengen visa

I would think the Spanish embassy in the UK would be the best ones to ask.
