How long does it take for a Thai citizen to get a US tourist visa, and is it advisable to hire an agent for the process?

Sarick **********

No Thai agents can assist you with US visas. The most they could do is application preparation or appointment time slots. US consular is notorious for granting/ refusing visas. Their piece of mind is every Thai applicants will certainly not return home if granted a US visa so your wife has to prove otherwise.

What should I do if my retirement visa renewal is pending due to not meeting the bank balance requirement?

Sarick **********

@Jim *******

if you are dealing with "agents," that's the way to go. If you prefer to do the right way, you have to leave the country to restart from a non O visa.

Do I need to file a TM30 every time I return to Thailand if I travel frequently for work?

Sarick **********

If your landlord could file it online, you can ask your landlord to do so when you are about to renew your yearly extension, or when registering your 90 day. Those are a few occasions immigration actually requests to see your newest tm.30

What visa does my wife need to join me in Thailand if I retire at 50 and she is under 50?

Sarick **********

First apply for a non-o from America.

Have you marriage license authenticated by the Thai embassy, consulate there if possible. US embassy in Thailand does not legalize any American documents for you here.
