Overview

The Royal Thai Consulate-General in Los Angeles serves the western United States from its location on North Larchmont Boulevard. Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Thai communities outside of Thailand — the Thai Town neighbourhood along Hollywood Boulevard is the only officially designated Thai Town in the United States. The consulate provides visa services, Thai passport renewals, and consular assistance.

Visa Services

US citizens can enter Thailand visa-free for 60 days (TDAC mandatory since May 2025). All visa applications via thaievisa.go.th only.

Consular Services

The consulate provides E-Visa processing, Thai passport services, document legalisation, and consular assistance. Hours: Mon-Fri 09:00-16:00.

The consulate at 611 North Larchmont Boulevard, second floor — in Larchmont just south of Hollywood, a short drive from Thai Town — opens Monday to Friday, 09:00-16:00, closed on official holidays. Phone +1 323 962 9574, fax +1 323 962 2128; enquiries to info@thaiconsulatela.org.

Special Notes

This is the busiest Thai consular post in the United States — Southern California hosts the largest Thai community outside Asia, anchored by the country's only officially designated Thai Town along Hollywood Boulevard. Visa applications are online-only through the e-Visa portal; the counters serve Thai passports, legalisation, and Thai-national services for the western states.

Frequently asked questions

The western United States — the busiest Thai consular jurisdiction in the country, anchored by Southern California's Thai community, the largest outside Asia. The Midwest belongs to Chicago, the Northeast to New York, and the D.C. area to the embassy's consular office. E-Visa applications are online and unaffected by the split.

No — every visa runs through the official e-Visa portal thaievisa.go.th; the counters handle Thai passports, legalisation, and Thai-national matters. US passports enter visa-free for 60 days anyway, with the online TDAC arrival card registered within three days before arrival.
