My wife and I bring just under $10k each, but we live in Thailand for 6 months each year. We exchange our US dollars at Super Rich and then deposit the funds in my Thai wife’s bank account.

No one has ever asked us to verify funds at any airport over the past 35 years. Only once in hundreds of flights have we ever been required to show a return flight reservation.

But, in the unlikely event an individual does get caught with over $10k in cash, you will be forever flagged as a possible drug trafficker or money laundering. Extra scrutiny every time you fly.

I don’t believe that is correct. My Thai wife uses her Thai mobile banking while in the US while using her US phone number.

Are you saying you want the proper US visa for your wife and additionally you want to retire in Thailand?

It sounds like you’re asking 2 different questions.

We live in Thailand and the US, 6 months each location.

You can message me if you choose. My Thai wife is an expert on what you want.

We’re happy to help. We’re not an agent and don’t want money. We’ll guide you to the correct path.

I hope you can get the visa without any issues. Good luck.

If you transfer $10,000.00 or more on any given day you will be shining a big spotlight on yourself as a possible drug dealer. The bank/Wise or any other financial institution are required to report such transfers to the US government promptly.

If you transfer $9,000 or less on any given day, your transaction will go unnoticed by all. Recommend transferring $9k every week.

I made the mistake of going over $10k. I’ll never do that again. Since then, I’m flagged by TSA for extra scrutiny.

Funny, but not funny. Your comment speaks more of yourself than it does of another. No profile picture shows others you are ashamed of your bad behavior.

@Dave *******

that is what I will do for the next time. My wife also stated that the Non-O marriage visa is my best option.

Thank you for the advice.

Sounds like it is easier to get a Thai girlfriend if you’re in Thailand.
