Can I Apply for a US B1/B2 Tourist Visa from Thailand as a Non-Thai Citizen?

Yes, you can apply for a US B1/B2 tourist visa from Thailand as a non-Thai, non-resident citizen provided you hold a valid passport.

The Specifics

• You must demonstrate four required points in your application.
• You must attend an interview in person.
• Non-Thai citizens may experience longer wait times.
• You must complete the Department of State's Form DS-160 (online non-immigrant visa application) and pay the non-refundable application fee.
• Once the form is submitted and the fee paid, you can schedule a visa interview at the U.S. Embassy.
• Applicants for U.S. nonimmigrant visas should schedule their visa interview appointments at the U.S. Embassy.
• Required documents for the interview include a valid passport, recent passport-style photos, your appointment confirmation letter, a printed copy of the Form DS-160 confirmation page, and a detailed travel itinerary (including invitations).

Expert Tips from Thai Kru Visa Agency

Start by filling out the DS-160 form completely and accurately online. Double-check every entry before you submit — mistakes can delay your process. After payment, book your interview slot at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok as soon as possible, especially if you are a non-Thai applicant facing potentially longer wait times.

Prepare your supporting documents early. A clear travel itinerary that shows your ties and intent to return is essential. Bring everything listed: valid passport, recent photos, appointment letter, DS-160 confirmation, and itinerary. Dress neatly and answer questions honestly and concisely during the in-person interview.
