Hi, looking to move my family to Bangkok. Any expats with a Long Term Resident Visa? Would really like to know the approval rate and if its worth forking out so much money. I have no criminal record, debt, loans or anything of the sort that could (in my perspective) hinder me from getting approved. Any advice?

Anyone have any idea about how long it takes for a Thai National to get visa to a Schengen country?

I'm an Aussie living in Thailand and thinking about taking my Wife (Thai) for a short trip to the USA. I can enter the USA Visa exempt, however I would like to hear of any difficulties in getting a Tourist Visa for a Thai citizen. As my Wife speaks only a little English, are translators available for the interview process, or could I accompany her? TIA
