Thai Embassies

Germany as an Overseas Country of Origin (OCO) does not offer any visa options to German nationals residing in Thailand. If you want to live in Thailand after retirement, consider applying for an OA Visa or if you are married to a Thai national then apply for a Thai marriage visa. The Thai Embassy in Berlin will issue these type of Thailand visas for you if you qualify for these visa categories.

The Thai embassy in Sweden issues visas for Thailand for Swedes in Stockholm and in country. If you wish to retire in Thailand or visit Thailand as a tourist then this is normally the first place to start. Always ensure that you apply for a tourist visa if on holiday as it gives you more options if you want to extend your stay in Thailand. The visa on arrival is too problematic if you want to extend your stay.

If you wish to apply for a visa or passport, the Royal Thai Embassy in Bern will be able to issue all visas or other passports. You may also use this embassy to register your child born in Switzerland and to obtain a Thai passport for your children or Thai wife. The Thai Embassy hours are listed below so ensure that you follow the hours.

The Thai Embassy in London will issue you a visa for Thailand. You can also apply for your Thai Visa at the Thai Consulate in Hull as it can be seen as easier, more friendly and less of a hassle by most foreigners. The Thai Embassy in London can register your child as a Thai who has been born abroad and other diplomatic issues which might have arisen after the birth of your child or yourself.

The Thai Consulate in Los Angeles issues the most visas for Thailand. The Thai Consulate in Chicago, Illinois also issued visas for Thailand. The Thai Consulate in New York and the Thai Embassy in Washington D.C. also issue visas but are not as popular amongst those leaving Thailand. All of these consulates can register your child as a Thai born abroad if you decide to leave Thailand with your family.

If you wish to apply for a Thai visa, you can do so at the Royal Thai Embassy in Wellington. The office hours have changed and are again listed below. Note that the telephone numbers and street address of the office is also provided below. The Consulate in New Zealand is also listed on this website, if you need assistance with your application.
