Hello can someone please help me my girlfriend is from hong kong and we want to live together here in uk. but we not sure how long she can stay for without a visa and if she can sort out about staying here in uk why she is here someone please help.. many thanks

Answer 1

They will stamp her with a 6 month tourist visa at the airport. The standard is 3month but you just ask and they will give the 6 month one.

With that visa she will not be able to work or use the NHS.

Generally you can not change your status if you are in the UK on a tourist visa. A nd if she stays longer than 6 months she will be denied another visa.

So in reality the only thing you can do is to figure out what sort of visa she can get to live and work in the UK before she leaves Hong Kong.

She can stay up to six months. See the attached website for details. But she cannot "live" here, she will be just a visitor and as such cannot work, use the NHS etc.
