USA Tourist Visa (B1/B2) from Thailand
Visa Application Center: US Embassy Bangkok (DS-160 online; in-person interview) · Processing time: Interview wait varies; visa printed within ~5 to 7 working days after approval
The B1/B2 covers tourism, family visits, and short business meetings. Applicants complete the DS-160 online, pay the fee, and book an interview at the US Embassy in Bangkok. The interview is the decision point: the consul evaluates ties to Thailand (employment, property, family obligations) under the presumption of immigrant intent in INA Section 214(b). Document the case for return rather than the trip itself. Refusals under 214(b) are immediate at the window and do not have a written appeal; reapplication requires materially stronger ties.
