if they were to use the marriage route, she would get a green card and be able to work when she arrived (if married for two years). Else another wait if she intends to work. First time denied but second time was successful. My new Thai wife with no previous travel has a USA tourist visa, and she is with me now in the USA. We will be returning to Thailand after a 85 day in USA as that is where we chose to live.
You could call the tourist police and ask them? Message is a bit personal. The pool I swim at occasionally asked me if they could take some photos & videos of me swimming as their pool business never recovered after Covid. I said sure no problem, I do not even know their FB.
I live in Chiang Rai, and my USA bank gives me free ATM debit card withdrawals which I have found to be the best and simplest method for getting Bahts. I can withdraw $500 per transaction $1000 daily limit so I pull out 17,000 Baht twice and deposit in my Thai bank. Do not take the conversion option as it will cost you about $30 in what you will get without conversion.
It would be very helpful to know what the real savings would be. Where can I see the TT rate, and when does TT stand for... I used Tempus when I needed $1M switched to Euro's. So far I have only used Wise for a couple $30K moves, and many ATM withdrawals...
I bought a Catana Bali 4.8 catamaran in France 2021 and sailed it back across the Atlantic. Put in crewed charter service in the BVI. Broker told me too big to ship??? guess nothing to big to ship.
