Overview

The Royal Thai Consulate-General in Munich (Königlich Thailändisches Generalkonsulat München) serves Thai nationals and visa applicants in southern Germany. Located on Törringstrasse in the Bogenhausen district (Tram 37, stop Bundesfinanzhof), the consulate covers Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Munich is a significant hub for Thai-German business relations — Bavaria's automotive and engineering sectors maintain active trade links with Thailand, and Munich Airport offers direct connections to Bangkok.

Visa Services

All visa applications must be submitted exclusively through the Thai E-Visa system at thaievisa.go.th. German citizens can enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days (TDAC mandatory since May 2025). The Munich consulate's visa jurisdiction covers Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Processing takes up to 15 working days. Visa fees are non-refundable.

Consular Services

The consulate provides visa processing, Thai passport issuance, Thai ID cards, citizen affairs, document legalisation and certification, certified translator referrals, emergency assistance, and mobile consular services. Specialised services include guidance on pet import/export between Germany and Thailand, and health product importation regulations.

Cultural & Educational Programs

The consulate promotes Thai economic interests, cultural activities, Thai cuisine, tourism information, and supports film production projects related to Thailand in the southern German region.

Service Area

Covers Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Complements the embassy in Berlin (northern/eastern Germany) and the Consulate-General in Frankfurt (central-western Germany).

Appointment Information

The chancery at Törringstrasse 20 works Monday to Friday, 09:00-17:00 (+49 89 944 677-0, thaiconsulate.MUC@mfa.go.th), but the consular desks receive the public mornings only, 09:00-13:00, and answer their phones 14:00-17:00 — each on its own extension: passports -111 (passport.MUC@mfa.go.th, pickup 14:00-15:00), visas -112 (visa.muc@mfa.go.th, applications online only), legalisation -113 (legalization.MUC@mfa.go.th), ID cards and civil registration -114 (registration.MUC@mfa.go.th), consular section fax -115 (consular.MUC@mfa.go.th). Tram 37 stops at Bundesfinanzhof, a short walk from the chancery in Bogenhausen.

Special Notes

Thai nationals in genuine emergencies — serious illness, accidents, passport loss on a short-term stay — reach the 24-hour duty line at +49 1520 212 5038; the consulate asks that it be used for emergencies only. The consulate warns that emails from addresses containing hyphens or special characters can fail delivery — plain addresses work best.

Frequently asked questions

Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The central-western states belong to the Frankfurt consulate-general, the north and east to the Berlin embassy. E-Visa applications run online and follow your state of residence.

All desks answer 14:00-17:00 on +49 89 944 677 plus their extension: -111 passports, -112 visas, -113 legalisation, -114 ID cards and civil registration, -0 for the chancery. The public counters open the other half of the day, 09:00-13:00, with passport pickup 14:00-15:00.

No — visa applications run exclusively through the official e-Visa portal thaievisa.go.th; the visa desk (visa.muc@mfa.go.th, extension -112) answers questions but takes no paper. German passports enter visa-free for 60 days anyway, with the TDAC arrival card registered online before travel.
