and will I have to pay 1900 baht for the 90 day non-o and then 1900 baht for the marriage extension?

@Brandon ***********

So it sounds like save my money, come back on a tourist visa and apply for the marriage extension again if I want to stay longer.

@Brandon ***********

I'm not getting a new marriage extension before I leave, just renewing it. I thought the process was faster and simpler for a renewal.

people with US tourist visa can stay 6 Mo's at a time. How much does Thailand give farangs, at most 90 days. Unless you know the visa requirements of every country you shouldn't make such stupid comments

@Riaan *********

what part of get a visa don't you understand?

@Vincent *******

any land/house? If so, she may have a better chance than most.

@Riaan *********

your not a US citizen so what the hell you know. The US gives a 10 year multi entry visa and you can stay for 6 mos. The US is tough but much more generous than Thailand. And it's a pain in the ass to get a retirement visa in Thailand. If you know not then speak not!

@Rod ******

that's the cheap part. Getting the green card will cost you another 1400.

Super hard for a Thai to get a tourist visa to the US. One thing they want to see is that they have been to other countries and returned to Thailand. Get her a Schengin visa and go on a vacation to Europe. It's easier to get than US visa. Also does she own property or have a good job? It helps. I just resently wrote an invitation letter for a friend and he was denied because he had never been outside of Thailand.

should only take 2-3 days. If you filed too close to your due date I hear it won't let you file online.
