Does a Thai citizen need a transit visa for US if going back to Thailand from Canada (through United States) via air?

 

Does anyone know?

Yes, a visa is necessary to transit the US.

Yes, one needs a transit visa to transit through the US if the person is holding a passport from a visa-required country. For example, a Singapore citizen does not need a transit visa to transit through the US because Singapore is a visa-exempt country for the US; however, Thailand is not a visa-exempt country for the US.

Yep, that is what I was afraid of.

 

Thanks.
