If you are an American citizen who has a Thai fiancee then you can now apply for her K1 Visa right here in Bangkok. Firstly you need to meet the financial requirements to take your Thai fiancee back. These are the financial requirements and also the general requirements for the US visa in Thailand. Speak to a US immigration lawyer in Bangkok for more information about the requirements for each visa in Thailand.
K1 Fiancée Visa Requirements
- You must be a US citizen;
- Both parties must be free to marry;
- You must have met in person in the last 2 years;
- There must be a real relationship;
- You must meet or exceed the minimum financial requirements.
The financial requirements for the K1 Visa are listed below. These totals can be made up of other types of income such as fixed assets or the amount which has already been paid of on your mortgage bond. You can also use your share or pension plan as part of your financial value for the US Visa. Speak to an immigration lawyer in Bangkok for more information as to how best to get your Thai fiancee to the United States of America. If you are in the military you only need to make the base income as listed and not 125% that everyone else has to meet.
Exception: In all cases, U.S. military personnel may earn at or over the base levels set by HHS.
