You might want to consider the K1 visa, which gives you 90 days to get married in the United States. My husband and I got married when we were in our 20s, and we were both quite young at the time. I had just graduated, and my husband was in the Navy, earning a modest income. He did pay taxes, though! If you pay taxes and can provide proof of income, that will help your case. I'm not entirely sure how much you need to earn to be eligible, but you can also include co-sponsor income to meet the requirements. Additionally, having no criminal record is important for the application process. Just keep in mind that you may need some money set aside to cover the paperwork. I believe the K1 visa is the best route to take. Avoid the tourist visa, as it could end up being a waste of money. Good luck.

My husband just got his Non-O visa in Ho Chi Minh City. It was pretty easy and the documents were simple. You can apply while you’re there using the Thai e-visa system. All he needed was:

- Our marriage certificate

- Thai family member’s ID card

- Proof of funds (he just showed his VA disability letter)

- Hotel reservation in Ho Chi Minh

If they don’t ask for anything extra, it usually takes about 5 business days.

The online application actually asks for the date stamped in your passport on the day you entered Vietnam.

Awesome. Did they ask about the 500k in the bank account or just proof of income and how much would that be to qualify.

Just fly to Vietnam for a weekend vacation or somewhere nice.
