FYI for my American peeps.

Effective immediately, the U.S. Consulate General in Chiang Mai is temporarily suspending all consular services until further notice due to staffing shortages. Although we hope to resume consular services soon, consular services in Thailand are currently only available at the U. S. Embassy in Bangkok.

If you are a U.S. citizen in northern Thailand in need of emergency assistance, please call the Bangkok American Citizens Services unit (02-205-4000). If you have an appointment for, or are seeking, routine services, please email acsbkk@state.gov.

For visa assistance and information, please email visasbkk@state.gov.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The U.S. Consulate General in Chiang Mai has temporarily suspended all consular services due to staffing shortages. Currently, all services are available only at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. U.S. citizens in need of emergency assistance should contact the Bangkok American Citizens Services, while those seeking routine services can email for support.
