What should I enter for the city of birth on my application if my U.S. passport only lists the state?

U.S. passport visa application city of birth Thai visa immigration expat advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

Can anyone shed light on the city of birth part of the application? I'm a U.S. passport holder. My passport biodata page specifically indicates place of birth as the state only. Do I type just the city? The state? Both? I don't want this to be a costly mistake...

TLDR : Answer Summary

When filling out the city of birth on your Thai visa application as a U.S. passport holder, you should match the information exactly as it appears on your passport. If your passport includes only the state, it is advisable to enter both the city and the state to avoid any mistakes.

My passport just says the city. I put the city and country. No problems encountered.
