I am visiting the US and taking my family on a cruise that involves a couple stops in the Bahamas. My wife is a Thai national holding a Thai passport.

She has a US visa, but I understand she needs a Bahamas visa to visit the Bahamas.

I further understand she needs to get this through the British Consulate, but I can't figure out what she needs to do to apply.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think so. Look at the wiki fir Thais needing visas. I tbink they get 30 days. No idea why....but hey.

Thanks, but according to the Bahamas gov site she needs a visa.

Any help out there?

Suggest a phone call or email to their consulate in New York: http://www.bahamasny.net/about

Anyone have real first hand experience of this yet?

My wife is going to need it also but the nearest embassy or overseas mission appears to be china.

I suspect theres a way to apply online.
