bit of a silly one I think, and I likely already know the answer but just incase.
is there a way to apply for Thai visa from the UK without having flight booked at all (entry not onward) I'd just like to have the paper work done then hopefully find a good deal as and when the timing is right and pull the trigger. it seems unlikely tho
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is possible to apply for a Thai visa from the UK without having a flight booked. The Thai embassy in the UK does not require a flight ticket when applying for a visa. You can apply for a Non-O visa online via the e-visa portal, where you only need to provide an inbound flight number, which does not have to be the actual flight you take. For tourist purposes, British passport holders can enter Thailand visa-exempt for up to 60 days.
