Thanks for the replies. After checking out for more info, I think I will go with DCF route. Question: I have been in Thailand 3 years on retirement extension. Does this qualify me as a resident?

I am a USA citizen currently living in Thailand on retirement visa. I was married in April to a Chinese citizen in China. I am planning to bring her to Thailand to stay and start a visa process for her. I have no assets or job in USA except for my IRA account.

Questions:

- What kind of visa should I apply for my Chinese wife?

- I have not yet register with USA embassy. Do I need to in order to apply for visa?

- Given my personal financial/job status, do I need affidavit of family support in USA?

I am sure more questions will pop up as I proceed but these are all I can think of for now.

Thanks in advance.
