What are the best visa options for marrying a Thai woman and living between Thailand and the US?

Get the Fiancee visa! 90-day U.S. visa, marry in the U.S. Apply for social security number and green card asap. She can work, and than travel freely back and forth to Thailand and to the U.S. Easier then marrying in Thailand!

Once she has citizenship and a green card what will she need you for?

Marry her. Get green card for her. She can enter to US with green card anytime without applying US visa again and again.

Www.visajourney.com for up to date info and timelines. I did a K-1 visa and it took about nine months.

I do the same and I have a regular Thai married Visa. The only thing you have to remember is when you leave to go back to the US make sure number one you are back before your Extension expires. And two you get a re-entry permit. My extension always expires on 31 January and I go in December to apply for my new extension usually 45 days before 31 January because that’s what they allow in my province. At the I time of the extension application I get a 30 day under consideration stamp, which starts the day my current extension expires, so then I come back on 28 February and get my one year stamp. Same routine every year. My wife came to the US on a fiancé visa we got married she decided she did not want to live in the US because there was no Thai culture around where I live. So we both came back to Thailand and she applied for a tourist visa, which is good for 10 years multiple entry And of the six months that I am in the US. She comes and stays three months then we go back together. Your wife cannot work in the US legally without a work permit and you can only get that if you apply for a change of status (Application for permanent Residency). Hope this helps a little. I do understand that it’s easier to get a fiancé visa K1 then a. K3 marriage visa.

Once you are married, but less than 2 years, she needs to apply for the CR1 visa. IR1 if longer than 2 years.

Don’t mean to bring a downer mate please do a prenup,just saying from my experience 🙌🏻.

Congrats & I really hope it works out for you ❤️

Currently, you can do 2 visa exemptions and 2 extensions with a couple days spent outside of Thailand in between the two 90 day stays, for you.

For your fiancé, it would probably be a few less steps in the process if she gets a K1 fiancé visa and get married in the US within 90 days of arrival.

Or, get married in Thailand and begin the process here in Thailand.

My wife did the K1 visa. She became a US citizen and had an overwhelmingly successful Thai restaurant in the US. 13 years of the restaurant got us into retirement in Thailand for the winter 6 months and the US for Major League Baseball season. Been doing that for 3 years.

The only difference is that I recently got the Non-O marriage visa after jumping through plenty of hoops.

Just remember, if you’re not nice to the Thai immigration officers, they can make it very difficult for you.

In our 35 years, we never paid a bribe, never will.

Congratulations, will you be having the Thai village wedding and the embassy wedding?

If your wife wants to spend time in the US and to possibly work, she doesn't need a visa. You need to get her a green card through marriage. The process can take 12-18 months.
