Apologies if this isn't allowed here. But my daughter got her US citizenship today and my girlfriend got denied her Visa to the USA. I was also recently denied my Non-Immigrant O visa to Thailand for "insufficient paperwork". The only thing I can figure out is that my daughter has not had her birth certified as being my daughter.

Does anyone have experience writing their congressman in the USA to help with Visa help? I really want my parents to meet their granddaughter, but my Mom is not healthy enough to fly here to Thailand.

I will take any advice for my situation to stay in Thailand with my daughter and travel to the USA with her as well. If anyone knows somebody that can certify a birth for a 6 month old child I would really appreciate it too. Thank you.

Quite a long list of border crossings. No indication of how long they will be closed for.

If you apply for the DTV visa from Vietnam. But go to another country before you are approved. Do you have to enter Thailand through Vietnam again???

For a DTV starting in July, can I return to UK for 6 weeks after being in Thailand for July and August, and then return to Thailand middle october? I didn’t really want to do 60 day tourist as I want to be in Thailand to study commencing school in November…

My ? Is more opposite of most here. I have a female friend in Bangkok and she has tried 4x for a tourist visa and has been denied each time. Why is it so hard. What do we have to do to get a tourist visa. To USA. Thank you Didn’t know it was so difficult!

My son completed 11 months of a 12 month education visa for Thai language. I was on a retirement visa for a year. My visa expired a month before he was due to finish ( I got it through the Canberra embassy and it arrived faster than I thought). So he got a letter of early finalisation apparently required from the language school in CM. We then departed for another country on the day my visa finished and were gone a month. We checked everything face to face with CM immigration about leaving and then coming back on a tourist visa, returning for 3 weeks before heading home to Australia. We arrived back at Suvarnabhumi airport and no problem I was stamped through. Then they stopped my son and I came back with him and he was given a hard time about not finishing his course. He had the letter. He was asked one question in Thai and the officer was saying he hadn't studied. We had just come off a night flight without sleep. Then the officer said he cannot come back on an education visa. There were three officers. They were pretty rude and officious but then did allow him to be stamped in as a tourist. We did all the right things according to CM immigration requirements but Bangkok were upset. They also said we cannot come here to live etc. Never said we wanted to!! I love Thai people in general but is this usual?

I've heard that Thailand is currently making it challenging for travelers to enter the country, even for those who have obtained a visa. Can anyone provide more information or insights on this issue? Has anyone recently traveled to Thailand and encountered difficulties upon arrival? I'd appreciate any updates or advice on what to expect when planning a trip to Thailand.

My Thai fiancée has been approved for a K1 visa to the USA. There are a few more steps before she will go for her interview in possibly 4 to 5 months. The question I have is, I know the K-1 visa states that we have plans to live permanently in the United States. I am retired so we plan on traveling back and forth, splitting our time between the two countries. she has family here in Thailand and owns her own home and farm. I have family in the United States and live with my sister at her house. Has anyone been in the same situation and has their K-1 Visa been rejected because of not staying in the United States permanently ? I have stated these plans of splitting time between the 2 countries to the USCIS. Now the approval goes to the UVC for processing before it is approved and sent to the US Embassy in Bangkok. Any suggestions would be appreciated….

Hello! I just submitted my application in Hong Kong, I wonder if I can travel outside Hong Kong before getting approval ? Does it matter? Thank you 🙏🏻

I am planning to bring my thai girlfriend to the UK on a 6 month tourist visa, can we go on a family holiday to America while she is here?
