Unit 404 and 405 The Plaza 4th Floor, Chamchuri Square Building, Phaya Thai Rd, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330
VFS Global's Chamchuri Square office is the Schengen visa collection point for seven European countries in Thailand: Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Cyprus. Book an appointment online first. Biometrics collected in person. This is the official submission channel - visa decisions rest with the individual embassies.
VFS Global at Chamchuri Square serves as the authorized visa application center for multiple European countries in Thailand. If you are applying for a Schengen visa for Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, or Cyprus, this is where you submit.
The process begins entirely online. Create a profile on the VFS Global website, select the correct country mission, fill in the application form, upload supporting documents, pay the application fee, and book an appointment slot. On arrival at the 4th floor of Chamchuri Square, staff verify your documents and collect biometric data - fingerprints and a digital photo. First-time Schengen applicants and those whose biometrics have lapsed must attend in person; there is no remote option for biometric submission.
Processing timelines vary by country of application. Germany typically takes around 15 working days; other countries may differ. Check the specific country portal before you plan your visit.
VFS Global is an administrative service provider, not a visa authority. Approval or refusal is decided by the relevant embassy or consulate. VFS staff can advise on document completeness but cannot make representations about outcomes.
The Chamchuri Square location is accessible from Samyan MRT, one stop south of Silom. Walk-ins are not accepted. For expats juggling a Schengen application alongside a Thai immigration renewal, book the appointment well in advance - popular EU countries see high booking volumes in peak travel months.
