U.S. Embassy Bangkok and Consulate General Chiang Mai.
• Thailand is not in the Visa Waiver Program, so ESTA is not available • The decision is made at interview; officers assess ties to Thailand under INA 214(b) • Some prior visa holders may qualify for interview waiver — check current embassy criteria
• Passport valid 6+ months (unless a country agreement exempts this) • DS-160 confirmation and MRV receipt • Photo meeting U.S. Department of State rules • Employment, income and travel evidence to show if asked
Government/embassy fees follow the official notice on the filing date. Our service charge is given as a written quote after scope review. DS-160 answers must match facts and documents; inconsistencies can affect this and future applications.
