It was easy for her. I'm an American citizen. We just filled out the application with me as the sponsor (she has no money of her own), provided proof I had money, provided proof of marriage, and she just explained in her interview that I was taking her and our son on a road trip around the USA to visit family. They tend to ask questions for her to prove that she's really married to me, but that's about it for a 6 month tourist Visa​ with a 1-year visitation window.

Once you successfully complete one Visa cycle without illegally vanishing into the American countryside, future Visas come even more easily.

If you're not married to an American, the process becomes much harder.

@Jordi *******

The above was me being facetious, but I have never had any issue getting my Thai wife an American tourist Visa, with me as the sponsor.

Marry her. Makes it easy for her to get a tourist Visa.

sorry, I don't know.

Come here to Cambodia. The government just ended all testing for incoming travelers. No PCR before flying, no ATK at airport. If you've been fully vaccinated, just walk in. Visas on arrival.

Land borders are open too, as of today.

@Sameer *******

What an oversimplification.

Folks, beware anyone selling you that idea that anything is black and white. They lack an understanding of the world.

That's not true. Where I live, in neighboring Cambodia, there's no quarantine. Just a 10-minute quick-test on arrival. Also, our COVID cases are WAY loser than Thailand. Schools have been open for four months, everything is open as normal.

I guess that's the result of having literally 99% of the country (age 6 and above) fully vaccinated.

Come to Cambodia! Everything is open! No quarantine!

I think they are worried about escapees, both living and dead.

This is the beach I was at a week ago.
