The mission of the American Citizen Services (ACS) section is to provide assistance to American citizens in Thailand. We provide a range of services and information. For more on American Citizen Services, make your selection from the options on the menu at the left side of this page.
Safety of American Citizens
Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the U.S. Embassy website and the U.S. Department of State's travel website, where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, and Travel Alerts can be found. The U.S. Embassy also encourages U.S. citizens to review the Department of State publication "A Safe Trip Abroad," which includes valuable security information for those both living and traveling abroad.
In addition to information on the Internet, travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. and Canada, or outside the U.S. and Canada on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.
Citizens living and residing in Thailand are advised to register their presence in the country through the U.S. Department of State's automated online registration system. U.S. citizens may also contact the Consular Section at the U.S. Embassy via e-mail at acsbkk@state.gov or by calling +66-2-205-4049 from outside of Thailand, or 02-205-4049 within Thailand.
We encourage all travelers to Thailand to review Country Specific Information on Thailand from the U.S. Department of State.
Security at the Consular Section
Embassy security procedures require that all visitors submit to a security inspection. No luggage, electronic or photographic equipment is permitted in our waiting room or on other Embassy premises. You may check small electronic items at the Embassy gate.
