Thai
visitors who travel to the US for short business visits
require business visas. There are a variety of different
US visas for business purposes, including E1 visa, E2 visa,
H1-B visa, and B1 visa. The most common of these is the
B1 visa for temporary work in the United States.
In
order to qualify for a B1 visa certain qualifications of
the Immigration and Nationality Act must be met. Because
the US assumes that each applicant for a B1 visa is a potential
immigrant a Thai applicant must prove they are intending
only to work for a short period. In order to do this they
must prove that the purpose of their trip to the US is business,
that it will be for a specific, limited period of time,
and that the applicant maintains a residence and other binding
obligations outside the United States that they intend to
return to.
Thai
citizens who legitimately wish to travel to the USA on a
business visa such as an E1, E2, or H1-B, or B1 visa should
have little difficulty as long as their applications are
well documented with these materials.
