TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses the difficulties experienced by individuals in Thailand trying to secure visas for their Thai partners to countries like the USA and UK. Various commenters share their experiences, noting that while traveling to Sweden and the UK has been manageable, the USA presents significant challenges due to high fees and stringent requirements. Some suggest hiring reputable agents or attorneys for assistance, while others reflect on the overall complexities involved in these visa processes.

It's a problem. The USA embassy robs people of high fees, forces travel to BKK for rejections and steal their money. It's just gross

@Todd ********
isn't they Fee is non refundable? I do not think if any embassy offers refundable visa fee in case of rejection
Todd *********
@Kamran ********
yes, non-refundable. High cost. And no reasons given for rejection

Your experience puts all the complaints about Thai visas into perspective.

I hired an attorney. They had my Thai wife in the US within 4 months time. If interested they have offices all over Thailand. The agency is called TSL & associates.

What are you trying? K1 visa?

GF now wife has been to UK 7 times on a six month tourist visa over the last ten years and now on a spouse visa which I've done all myself without help from an agent. It's an easy process but if you're unsure use a reputable agent in Pattaya. I think average cost of an agent about 30,000 baht?

Same in UK. Seems Thailand welcomes people but USA and UK not so much.

by the sounds of it Thailand seems to allow too many people of the wrong type and are lowering its desirability for others.

@Lynnette ******
Then there must be a good reason why.

There have been numerous posts from people who've had issues with getting visas. But oh yes, blame the applicant for UK immigration policy. The arrogance you show, how British.
