Source and verification
This page follows document-specific public guidance published by Royal Thai Embassy, Washington, D.C..
Official Thai passport guidance was verified on 2026-04-13. The Royal Thai Embassy in Washington states that applicants must appear in person because biometric data including fingerprints, photography and iris scanning are collected during the passport application. The official FAQ also states that applicants do not need to bring a passport photo because the officer takes the photo on the day of the appointment. This profile is therefore modeled as an official authority-capture workflow.
