you have been married for 25 years and have no idea how it works?

Even for 3 months, still need a B Visa and Work Permit. Need to meet the minimum hiring of Thai people for each foreigner work permit.

wrong, you don’t need a visa to Enter Thailand.

No, no and no! They cannot get a visa through the US Embassy.

Did you fill out the K3 VISA application? Have you filled out the I-130 application with the National Visa Center in Portsmouth, NH? K3 visa (Nonimmigrant spouse)

The K3 visa is for couples seeking faster reunification while the I-130 is pending. It allows your Thai spouse to enter the US and apply for adjustment of status while waiting for the I-130 approval. Your spouse can live with you in the US and apply for work authorization. The process involves filing Form I-130, then Form I-129F (no fee for K3), processing through the NVC, your spouse completing Form DS-160 and attending an interview, and finally, upon arrival in the US, filing Form I-485 to apply for their green card. The average processing time is around 19 months, but may not be significantly faster than the CR1 due to I-130 processing times. Costs include filing fees for Form I-130, Form DS-160, a medical examination, and Form I-485, along with other potential costs. You wife will have to go through an interview at the US embassy in Bangkok. There are online examples of the questions they will ask and she needs to study them.

If you're a U.S. citizen married to a Thai national and want to bring them to live permanently in the U.S., the CR1 and IR1 visas are the primary immigration pathways to consider. These visas fall under the category of immediate relative visas for spouses of U.S. citizens. CR1 Visa: For couples married for less than two years. Your Thai spouse will initially receive a two-year conditional green card upon entering the U.S..

IR1 Visa: For couples married for two years or longer. Your Thai spouse will receive a 10-year green card immediately upon entering the U.S., bypassing the conditional residency period.

Your a guest here, follow THEIR rules or go.

Health insurance cost is predicated on coverage required, age, existing health conditions. You have to do your OWN research for your personal particulars. Taxes you need to be more specific.

10 weeks is only 70 days. You get 60 days free and you can extend. If you are only going to stay short times, not sure what a DTV would get you?

33 years VISA's are no concern.
