Hi, I am required to apply for an eVisa to visit Thailand.

Can I apply with a dummy ticket or I should buy a real ticket first?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether it's acceptable to use a dummy ticket when applying for a Thailand eVisa. Multiple comments indicate that the requirement might vary based on nationality and the individual embassy's requirements. Some users suggest that in their experience, they were able to apply using dummy tickets, while others recommend booking an actual ticket to avoid potential issues.

apply with dummy ticket first, if they ask for paid then get paid ticket

I have been asked for a flight booking confirmation in the past so I think it really comes down to the embassy your application goes through. If you have no reason to suspect you'd be rejected, I'd book the flights first.

the last time I applied they ask for the flight booking confirmation but I know some people have booked it on fake flights.

Depends if they ask for proof of flights.

For my visa I just googled flights and dates and entered them.

Depends upon which passport you hold
