🇹🇭 Thailand to USA: visa and entry requirements 🇺🇸

Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · B-2 or B-1/B-2 visitor visa required before travel; ESTA does not apply and the I-94 controls the admitted stay · A Thai ordinary-passport holder must obtain the appropriate United States visitor visa before tourism travel, ordinarily a B-2 or combined B-1/B-2 visa. Thailand is not part of the Visa Waiver Program, so ESTA is neither an alternative nor an additional pre-travel requirement for this passport. The reciprocity schedule may permit a multiple-entry B-1/B-2 visa with validity of up to 120 months, but that is the period in which the visa may be presented for travel and is not permission to remain for ten years. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer decides admission and records the authorised stay on the I-94; no universal stay maximum is inferred into this rule from the visa's product validity.
