And one of the worst things….. if you feel there’s a possibility of her getting denied, DONT GO IN ! Once she gets that first denial stamp, it will make it near impossible to get one in the future
, yeah for some time now it’s really sucked. You can still try to schedule an appointment for an American, but as I recall you can’t make an appointment for the both of you at the same time. It’s difficult to do it online.
I would highly recommend getting her property and business ownership in place first. Without those, I would say you’re looking at a less than 10% chance.
If you’re really loaded and have enough money to be a guarantor, they may qualify her. But still the land ownership is the best bet. It shows a reason to return
Lots of paperwork and supporting documents. We got one when we lived in Chiang Mai. It only took about 1 week. Of course that was 10+ years ago. It always is much easier when your wife owns property, has strong family ties and you having good finances.
But if she doesn’t have any of those, time will really drag out.
Also, I’ve also seen in Bangkok that making an appointment takes anywhere from 4-6 months now ( in regards to Thai visas to America)
