Planning your visit
Appointments at the Royal Thai Embassy
The embassy provides an online appointment facility for consular applicants.
The Royal Thai Embassy currently states that walk-in service is possible. However, applicants who have made prior bookings are given priority.
This means visitors without an appointment may have to wait until applicants with bookings have been served.
Applicants should therefore check the instructions for their particular service and use the embassy’s appointment system when appropriate.
Recommended: arrange an appointment in advance when the service you require supports prior booking. This reduces the risk of delays when attending the Consular Section.
