Step 2 - Making an Appointment with the Embassy to Visit

Making an appointment in order to apply for a visa can be done through a call centre on telephone number 1900 222 202 (valid only for calls within Thailand). Or our staff can help you if you are in our office to either buy a medical insurance, having help filling in and compiling your papers etc.

Also for more information see link Page 2 Appointment & Call centre in the upper right hand side.

Step 3 - United Overseas Bank (UOB)

The call centre will inform the applicant of the current fee when making an appointment. The fee must be paid and the applicant must bring the receipt together with the visa application submitted to the embassy.

The fee can be paid at any UOB bank in Bangkok, to account number 095-2-05431-0 and made payable to account holder “Embassy of Sweden”. The UOB closest to the Embassy is on the Ground Floor of Two Pacific Place facing Sukhumvit Road (bank entrance inside the lobby of Two Pacific Place). Take care of the bank receipt.


Step 4 - Embassy Visit

At your appointed time you can go to the Swedish Embassy Visa Section at the 20th floor of One Pacific Place (see our address and map for directions here), and submit your application.

Only applicants who have made an appointment will be given admittance to the relevant visa section of the embassy. It is here that the application will be registered and a check made that all necessary supporting documentation has been provided. On completion of this process, the application is forwarded to an official designated to the case. Normally, it takes about 7 days for the application to be processed and a decision made. The applicant is informed by the embassy at the time of submission of the application when passport and visa can be collected. If the application is incomplete, or if necessary supporting documentation has not been provided, the application can be rejected. Should an applicant fail to appear at the appointed time, then a new appointment must be made.

We advice you not to pay for a flight ticket before you got the visa.
