, we didn't even get to the do you have this or that, asked them what I need to convert my Tourist Visa into a 1 year Marriage Visa and they said I cant do that, I have to go to Lao, get a 90 day Non-O, then come back and we can convert the Non-O 90 Day into the 1 year Non-O marriage with of course all of mine and my wife's paper work and the Bank Account, And yes Tomorrow we are going to my wife's bank to see If I can open a account there, Money for this is actually Not a Problem, I should probably include we are Located in Lan Sak , Uthai Thani, so we are not in a area where they do a lot with westerners at the local Office, every time ive been in there No one else is in there..

, The US is not any better, will let the southern boarder run wide open for 3 years but Deny legit Tourist's going the Legal route, and have let Crime go completely unchecked, I'm Retiring in Thailand in Sept, cant get rid of Things fast enough...

, You are correct , would be hard to cover that up, I will wish you luck in convincing them your wife is only wanting to come for a visit, They believe everyone wants to come here and stay, but you might want to double check and see if there is some kind of spouse visitor VISA available, seems like someone was talking about something like that a while back, I did think you were asking about a GF since thats what the OP was asking about, Hope it works out well for you and your wife
