I did it on Turkish from IAD, no problem

@Graham *****

depends on the country where you are applying for the visa. Some don't offer 90 day single entry. I think the USA only offers this one year multi entry 90 days per stay in the non-O category.

@Alastair *******

can you get the one year extension during your first 90 day entry ?

Is this the case with all non-O visas obtained outside Thailand ? You only get a 90 day entry permit and have to do these border hops four times a year ? Is there any way to get a one year extension ? 🤔

or "mai mee"

When sending a small amount, even $100, wise will dispense with any of the reason codes and it will ALWAYS show up as "interbank transfer" rather than "international transfer"

@Istvan ********

just go to a visa agent, probably less than 30k baht a year. come here on a visa waiver entry

also, if you're using turbo tax to create your 1040, use a dummy SSN for her so you can get past the first step. 999-88-9999 will work. Then use a pdf editor to overwrite that on the final 1040 with the words "W7 ITIN application attached"

not sure what Edna and art are talking about, but you need to get a tax identification number for her, in order to file married jointly.

Go to the American citizen services area on the US embassy Bangkok website and follow the mail-instructions for certifying a Thai passport. You mail her passport to them and they send back a certified copy.

Then you fill out form w7, the application for the ITIN, and include it with a *paper* 1040 when you do your 2022 tax return in 2023. Also include the passport certification from the embassy and a copy of your Thai marriage certificate. You cannot file electronically. You have to mail paper w7 and 1040 together to the ITIN processing center in San Antonio. The address is on the w7. They will issue the TIN and forward your paper 1040 for processing. You'll have to pay DHL about 1500 baht to get these documents back to the USA

Then, be warned, you will wait 6-8 months for your tax refund because the IRS budget has been slashed and there aren't enough personnel to process paper filings.

Pm me if you have more questions
