Important Notice and Warning to ePassport Holders:

** In applying for a Passport, it is illegal to use documents that belong to another person and/or forge your documents; these offenses are punishable under Thai Law.
** Applicants must apply for a Passport well in advance of their impending traveling date. Applicants applying in Bangkok can pickup their Passports 2 working days after the application date. Applicants outside of Bangkok will receive their Passports by express mailing within 57 working days.
** Travelers who will leave the country for a long period of time should register with the Thai embassy or consulategeneral at the country in which you are staying. You must also notify the embassy or consulategeneral of changes to your address so that they may contact you in case of an emergency.
** Your Passport is a valuable document and should not be possessed by any other person. Thai nationals can only hold one Passport. If you lose your Passport, you must immediately notify the Passport Division, local police, or the Thai embassy or consulategeneral.
** Please avoid applying for a Passport at the beginning of the week (especially on a Monday) because there are many applicants during those days which slow down the application process.
