[jacksam]

I'm AU, have taken thai gf of 3 years to AU 3 times and most of asia. Want to go somewhere different. Maybe europe or even USA . I am aware of the list of countries that she can visit visa exempt. Japan for example. Wish my country and many others would adopt similar approach...Anyway my question. Which country would I have the least trouble to get her into. Italy would have been nice. Thanks in advance.

Two ripper suggestions.....ummm

Thinking applying for schengen visa would have been an idea. If so, I guess I'm asking is that a difficult process and is it better (meaning easier) to apply at a certain consulate here. Meaning is France consulate any more accommodating than say Italian.

Have read on TV that Italian consulate were not so helpful.

As my wife and I are going to the UK this Summer, I thought I'd apply for a Schengen and visit Spain or France. She has a 5 yr UK & 6 yrs of US visas left on her passport.

The process looks too complicated:

I have to have my Thai marriage Cert authenticated by the money-grabbers at BKK Embassy;

Travel/medical Insurance from an approved list in Thailand;

An itinerary which, as yet, doesn't exist as I thought I'd just get a cheap package in September when the schools re-open;

Air tickets provisionally booked;

Any other complications?

I think I'll just save my Euros until it gets easier for a UK National to take his wife on the continent.
