  • Consular Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBA): All appointments for CRBAs in Thailand will be made only after receiving the application by mail to provide better service to our citizens. The system reduces appointment wait time and helps families fully prepare for their citizenship appointment at the Embassy and Consulate General. Please review the CRBA website first to make sure you have all of the necessary documentation collected and submitted for review.
  • Thai Visa Extension Letter Questions: The U.S. Embassy and Consulate General Chiang Mai are unable to provide letters of support for Thai visa extensions and generally do not get involved in Thai visa or immigration situations on behalf of U.S. citizens. Please note that the Royal Thai government is under no obligation to extend short-term visas and all adjustments to visas or immigration status are under their jurisdiction. If your request to extend a visa is denied or you do not wish to change to an appropriate long-term visa category, you should begin making plans to depart Thailand as soon as possible.
