Overview
The Royal Thai Embassy in Berlin (Königlich Thailändische Botschaft) is Thailand's principal diplomatic mission in Germany, managing bilateral relations in trade, culture, education, and tourism. Germany is one of Thailand's most important partners in Europe — bilateral trade is substantial, and Germany is consistently among the top European source markets for tourism to Thailand. The embassy handles diplomatic affairs while consular services for visa applicants and Thai nationals are shared between the embassy's consular section and the consulates-general in Frankfurt and Munich.Read moreRead less
