This is a worldwide policy, and no exceptions will be considered.
All future payments at U.S. Embassy Outreach Events must be made in the form of a BANK DRAFT. Please follow the steps below:

  • Purchased the bank draft in the exact amount in Thai Baht for the total cost of your service from Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn Bank, or Siam Commercial Bank (SCB).
  • The bank draft must be made out to “American Embassy Bangkok.”
  • The bank draft must be purchased in advance.
  • You do not need an account at the bank to purchase a bank draft.
  • Please note: cashiers’ checks, personal checks, cash, credit or any other form of payment will not be accepted.

*This change only applies to Consular Outreach Events. Services rendered during normal business hours at the U.S. Consulate in Chiang Mai will continue to accept payments made by credit card or cash (THB or USD) exclusively.
