Are you planning to take your Thai fiancée back to your country to get married? Here is some information about what visa you need and what requirements you need to present, or have to have her submit, for that visa. 

FOR US CITIZENS 

If you want to take your fiancée to the US you should get her a K1 visa. The K1 visa lets her stay 90 days until you get married, after which she can apply for citizenship. There was also a K3 visa before, but this is no longer being processed. 

You have to file a K1 visa petition at one of the two USCIS Centers that process all of the K visa petitions in the US. The state you live in will determine what center you should visit for this purpose. 

Your Requirements 

• You are a US citizen
• You have met your fiancée in person within the previous two years
• You and your fiancée are both legally free to marry
• You and your fiancée both have a sincere intent to marry within 90 days of her arrival in the US
• You can meet the minimum income requirement for a K1 visa 

Her Requirements 

She has to be of marriageable age and has to submit the following. 

• Duly accomplished K1 application
• Valid passport
• Birth certificate
• Divorce or death certificate of any previous spouse
• Police certificate from all places lived since age 16
• Medical examination results
• Evidence of support
• Evidence of valid relationship with the petitioner
• USCIS-specific photos

FOR UK CITIZENS 

You can have your fiancée apply for a Marriage Visitor visa if you both want to get married in the UK but don’t plan to stay there longer than 6 months. However, if you two have plans to settle there have her apply for a Family of a Settled Person Visa. 

Your Requirements 

• Establishment of a stable financial status in the UK
• Proof of an existing relationship like email exchanges, photos together in various places, money transfer receipts, telephone bills, tickets to Thailand, etc. The relationship must have been going on at least six months, but the longer the better also
• Proof of your freedom to marry, including proof of dissolution of previous marriage, if applicable
• A written letter detailing how your relationship started and developed 

Note: Just recently the British Embassy has started requiring a Letter of Intent to marry from a registrar in the UK for the couple. However, since this requires them to be both present at the registrar’s office before this letter is issued, it is advised you contact the municipal registrar in your area about how to go about this. 

Her Requirements 

• A valid passport
• A passport-sized color photograph
• Proof that she can support herself during the trip, like bank statements or payslips for the last 6 months
• Proof of plans for the relationship, like documents to show where she will live
• Proof she is free to marry or proof of dissolution of previous marriage or death certificate of previous partner
