Hi Fullofhope, I dont have any business in the Philippines and I just recently quit my job when I applied for a visit visa so basically I applied for a visa and told them I am unemployed. But I have a savings account which is not much and I dont think they even look at my statements account that I submitted cos it is really not much. But I submit my sponsor bank statements which is 3 bank statements and a proof of suitable accomodation and his passport. And I also submit a pics of us together that our relationship is genuine and western union reciepts. And I also include some of pictures of me and my son together as the proof that I have to come back for my son and my son is the reason that I am coming back in the Philippines. After 2 weeks they send me a message telling me to get the result of my visa application. I didnt know if I get it approve or not and I and my bf doesnt really expecting that im gonna have a visa approve as we heard a lot that the chances of getting a visit visa is very low and surprisingly I saw a visa in pages of my passport so it is really worth a try. I am not sure about being ur bf in Thailand now is a matter that much as long as he is a british citizen and able to support his sponsor visit in the UK. (thats my bf added advice). Be positive u have a business there thats a big reason that u are coming back... Goodluck.
