Do Americans applying for Thai visas in Taipei need to submit IRS tax documents?

Oct 1, 2024

Follow-up question: would an American applying in Taipei have to provide IRS tax documents and other nonsense? Seems applying in USA has tons of extra document nonsense like IRS tax documents, but do Americans applying from other consulates or embassy’s (ie Taiwan, Cambodia, etc.) have to provide it?

TLDR : Answer Summary
An American applying for a Thai visa in Taipei does not need to provide IRS tax documents. The application process in Taipei is reported to be relatively easy with fewer document requirements compared to applying in the USA, where tax documents may be requested. Specific details about the application process can be found on the Thai embassy's website.

I applied through LA. One additional document (current pay statement) was required. Visa was approved in 3 weeks.

Taipei is extraordinarily easy to apply from. No IRS documents needed. They have the full list on the website:

awesome! Extra glad to hear you’re an American too. I’ve been hearing about all kinds of tax documents and IRS stuff and loooong waiting times in America so I’m not wanting to deal with that stress despite the fact I’ll be visiting family in America anyways… I rather have this done fast for peace of mind.
