Why is it so difficult for a Thai woman to obtain a tourist visa to the USA?

I would travel to other before try again.

You must show that you do not have interest in overstaying, show you can afford to travel, not need to work to support you trip.

1 have job that pay a decent wage show funds deposit regularly

2 have resident property under your own name

3 have fat bank account for 6 months and longer.

4 no relatives in the state which can provide shelter and job. BF or GF should show regardless of approve or not, it will enter into evidence when you apply for a fiance or married visa.

They only allow a small number from Thailand to the USA. And not Trumps fault. Obama pulling the military out of Thailand has hurt relations. Check with the embassy and see how long the wait list. I brought my wife to the USA on a 90 day marriage visa and got married in 2015.

It is difficult for a Thai to get a tourist visa to the USA. That is just the way it has been.

I know a Thai woman that has a government job. She had been rejected twice. She has a moderate income. Not much money.

I know another Thai woman in Bangkok that visits her sister in the USA usually once per year.

She has a very good job for a large company. Makes a very good income. Owns an expensive custom built home in Bangkok.

To get a tourist visa they are strict to be sure the person returns to Thailand. And has a reason to.

Same shit in Europe. "Refugees" can just walk into Europe, without much hassle. But if we want something we have to deal with a lot of bureaucratic nonsenses.

Very difficult and requires showing funds in bank to ensure their return and all sorts of paperwork. Best of luck!

It’s because many don’t leave when there visa expires

Ridiculous how some ppl have to politicize everything.

The sitting president has not caused the current visa situation, it’s been this way for decades.

Everyone knows this.

Anyone ignoring this fact is intentionally hijacking Jack’s post to cause conflict.

What finally got my wife's visa approved, after being rejected twice, was we gave them a (truthful) sob story about her needing to accompany me to the US for an operation. They gave her a tourist visa valid only for 6 months to accommodate that, and then the next year she applied for a tourist visa again and they gave her one that was valid for 10 years. That was back in 2013.

Not trump stopped. Definitely not helping. Always difficult for U.S. visa. My fiancee has money, land, and home, had to bring her on a K9 marriage visa. Easiest and shortest route.

She needs something that ties her to Thailand..ie: owns a house, car , children, above avg career otherwise changes are slim even now & even worse with Trump as it's white Nationalist running the show and she's not white unfortunately

Because Trump 🙄

Because she is piss poor with no money

Right now I wouldn’t come to the US with the current political climate

All you need to do is answer all questions truthfully, give all necessary documents needed.

You’re fighting an uphill battle. The one question they say they’re answering is, why would she leave the US once here. This is a tough one as they see the US as paradise on earth and once here why in heaven’s name would they want to leave. It’s been this way for at least 20 years and is now even hard under tRump.

If she's a bar girl you met on holiday here and your trying to bring her over,then she might have a while wardrobe of problems that stop her visa application ,that's usually why someone would get rejected 4 times or maybe she's doing something wrong as well if her reading English isn't good 👍🏼

If she’s a frequent traveler to other countries as a job house in Thailand, money in a bank, she shouldn’t have a problem getting a visa

Because they know she's likely going to try and overstay

I would highly recommend that she not come to the USA. When they are imprisoning Canadians, deporting brits, Germans, even American citizens? She's Asian so Ilshe has a target on her back.

There are a lot of great places in the world that don't have a paranoid, schizophrenic in charge.

I tried the same thing in 2017. It’s almost impossible for an average Thai woman to get a tourist visa to the U.S. without a high profile job or something else that would compel her to return after the visa expired. And impossible to get one if they list a boyfriend in the states they want to visit. Immigration goes into it assuming they won’t come back and it’s up to the girl to convince them they will, and they rarely can. It’s because there have been too many that didn’t come back. Also, many get married there on the tourist visa and that totally subverts the K1 visa process, which is basically immigration fraud. The only sure way is a K1 fiancé visa or a marriage visa. I brought my wife to the states in 2017 on a K1 visa after unsuccessful tourist visa attempts, and we’ve been married almost 8 years now. Best decision I ever made.

No visa to Ukraine States. WW3

They have to show assets or a business or a job that they have to come back to. Took a year from my ex-wife's fiance visa...

How much time did you really save by writing (?) Instead of the word (question)?

Does she meet the requirements??

Tourist visa to USA are very difficult even before Trump …

Sorry she had to pay the application fee so many times.

Please don't go there.

It's so unsafe right now. 😔

Thai population only has so many birthing woman. And that’s one reason young woman can’t go

The problem is that Thais have a reputation for overstaying , working illegally, not just in aus or USA but Uk too. In the uk it is estimated that 40% of Thais on tourist visas abused that status. Then the Uk crackdowned and the visa rejection rates are very high. The criteria is much stricter.

Almost impossible to get visa for usa

Easiest is k1

You’ll need to show you have funds to support her, get a fiance Visa and marry her in 90 days. Other than that it is virtually impossible unless she owns property, has a real job, a track record of steady employment and other anchors that will require her return.

My wife and I married 3 plus years. 2023 denied B1/B2 first year marriage anniversary. 2024 denied B1/B2 second year marriage anniversary. We finally applied for the green card May 2024 and nobody has looked at the documents yet. At least with Trump nobody is cutting in line claiming gang violence and getting a court date 10 years later.

They want to keep there people knowing most will stay or marry abroad to live elsewhere

Go to soi 13 in Sukhumvit

There is a company there that does visas

I forget the name

But they will definitely get it done …

It’s a little pricey so it will depend on how much you really want to bring her here..

I have had 7-8 buddies use it and they all got their girls a visa for the states..

Hope this helps

And God bless the USA 🇺🇸

Oh…

It’s at the beginning of the soi on the right hand side

It has never been easy. It used to take from 12-18 months for a determination. What work does she do? Does she regularly file her Thai income tax? Does she have tangible assets, and work responsibilities in Thailand that she has to return to? Has she ever had a passport before and traveled out of Thailand? Has she ever worked in a bar/gogo? There pretty much has to be a good reason she will return to Thailand after the vacation.

Their reason is that they don't see a compelling reason for her to return. There are 100's of thousands of -overstays"living illegally in USA. They're trying to shut it down. Your easiest for would be a fiancee visa (don't remember the number). But then your have to marry her within 90 days and commit to sponsoring her.

You might try doing other international travel with her to Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea, etc. and showing that she returns. That might help. But with current administration, might wait till 2029 before you apply again.

I am not sure about the US requirements as I am Australian but I assume it's similar and there are difficulties and strict requirements particularly for younger Asian women.

They generally must demonstrate some ties back to Thailand to indicate they plan to return..

Family and a steady job are usually the minimum and also enough money to support themselves during their stay.

You may also be required to offer a letter of invitation for her and make a commitment to cover accommodation and other expenses it needed.

Those are just a few points I have heard though friends trying to get a tourist visa into Australia for women from just about anywhere in SE Asia and I expect the US has similar requirements.

Has she been making the visa application herself or through an agent?

In some cases the agents can be helpful as they are familiar with meeting all the requirements to satisfy immigration.

Unfortunately you have the cost of the Agent fees as well
