My wife and I recently visited family in Chicago. Motivated by seeing an American with a 10 year visa I checked on-line. A visa service offerd expedited service including round trip Fedex for $530 for both of us. A pretty good deal if you plan more htan one visit in ten years.

I don't quite understand.

Americans don't need a visa to visit the USA, 10-year visa or none.

Thai, and other nationalities, with 10-year U.S. visas are pretty common, for visiting the USA.

As said this makes no sense as you are both Americans so no visa is required for travel to the USA and you can stay as long as you like. Your previous posts confirm you are American on retirement extensions of stay and wife is American and converting from work to retirement with you. What are we not understanding?

Your post is not very clear. Are you saying a 10 year visa for the USA or Thailand? If for the USA as stated a 10 year visa is common if a Thai is approved for a visa.

If you are saying a US citizen can get a 10 year visa for Thailand via an agent i'm sure many of us would be interested to have more information on this.

Sorry all - that is jet lag. We obtained 10 year Chinese visas while visitng home. I am sorry for hte mmis-understanding.

OK thanks very much for the clarification - did not want to have you pay for something you did not need. Regards.
