The US embassy in Bangkok announced on Monday that all US visa applicants must set their social media accounts to public for screening.

The requirement is effective immediately and aims to enable screening to confirm applicants’ identity and legal admissibility, the embassy posted on its Facebook account.

      I don’t and I made one to use fb marketplace (I’m rural and it’s all I have), but I don’t post on it. I’m low key nervous about it. What if they throw a fit while I’m leaving, if I can convince my family to leave this forsaken place. I’m hoping it’s more strict coming back because if I’m fortune enough to get my people to Europe, I’m never leaving again.
