PAYMENT METHOD

Please be advised the U.S. embassy will no longer accept cash (U.S. Dollars and Thai Baht) at Outreach Events for American Citizen Services. This is a worldwide policy, and no exceptions can be considered, please see the No Cash Announcement.



All payments at U.S. Embassy Outreach Events must be made in the form of a BANK DRAFT.



All BANK DRAFTS must be:

· Purchased from Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn Bank, or Siam Commercial Bank (SCB). (There is no need to have an account at the bank to purchase a bank draft) (Kasikorn Bank calls a “Bank Draft” a “Bill of Exchange”)

· Made out to “American Embassy Bangkok.” (No variations, errors, or typos are permitted. Do not write on or make any markings on the bank draft.)

· In the exact amount of Thai Baht (THB) for your total service.

· Submitted at the time of service.

· Issued within the last six months. You can show this to the bank:

Fees and exchange rates are included in individual outreach announcements and posted on our website.





Please note:

· Cashiers’ checks, personal checks, cash, credit cards, bank drafts from any bank other than Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn Bank, SCB or any other form of payment will not be accepted.

· The Bank Draft requirement only applies to Consular Outreach Events and mail-in passport renewal services. U.S. Embassy Bangkok and Consulate Chiang Mai will continue to accept payments made by credit card or cash (THB or USD) for services rendered on-site during normal business hours.



RETURN OF PASSPORT



The Passport Retrieval Process Has Changed! – Beginning 1 July 2018:
