Non-immigrant visas

Non-immigrant visas (also called visitor visas) are required for all citizens of countries not under the Visa Waiver program who intend to enter the United States temporarily for business, tourism or study.  In Thailand, visa interviews are by appointment only.  Please see the Visa Appointments and Application Requirements pages for information about documentary requirements and how to make an appointment.  Other information is also available by referring to the links to the left of the screen.

If you live in Chiang Mai or its surrounds, you may interview for non-immigrant visas in Chiang Mai.

Please note that U.S. Immigration officials at the port of entry have the final authority to permit or deny entry to the U.S. A visa entitles the bearer to apply for admission, but does not guarantee entry. 

Note: Due to security considerations, there is no information window for walk-in visitors at the Embassy. Only those with scheduled interviews will be admitted to the consular section.
