Do you hold Permanent Residence (PR)?

Your girlfriend is required to submit evidence of strong ties to her home country, including documented proof of financial self-sufficiency, regardless of whether you are covering the costs of her visit.

An application requesting a stay of the full 6 months is unlikely to be approved. A stay of around a few weeks is more realistic for a first visit.

Highly likely to be refused if she has resigned from her job prior to applying for a visitor visa. It will raise suspicion that she has no intention to return.

She can submit a visitor visa application, but she will have to produce compelling evidence of stronger ties in her home country than she has with a boyfriend living in the UK. :idea:

Ha okok thanks!!!! Could be a good idea if the parents of my girlfriend they right it down a letter and they guarantee she well come back plus they owed a house so she can show the property documents so she can prove she got a place to go back???
And on my side they well ask a massive amount of cash on my bank account and big numbers on the payslip???
Thanks😊
