Can I email documents to a Thai embassy for visa review before booking my trip?

I wonder, is it possible to just email the necessary documents to a Thai embassy first and asked them to review your docs before booking your flight tickets and hotel ? Has anyone ever tried that?😆

TLDR : Answer Summary
The community suggests that emailing documents for review to a Thai embassy is generally not a viable option. Many embassies do not review documents via email and may only provide guidance after a visa application has been initiated and paid for. It's encouraged to apply through your local consulate if you are currently outside Thailand and to provide estimated travel details if necessary.

They're not giving any advice or great help in this respect they just redirects you to the information on there website...

All I asked was for Clarification regarding the information from there website and if any other documents would help support my application etc

Not to check it or go over it as I didn't submit any completed documents with my Enquiry...

Unless you're currently in Thailand why not just apply using the consulate where you are?

They will give you advice, when you have paid the fee.

They do not waste time to do anything for free.

Start the application proces, which can be interrupted at any stage, if more documents need to be procured, you can start again the the point, where you interrupted.

If the documents isn’t sufficient, they will as for more, and specify what they need.

I tried sending the Taipei embassy a few documents to review yesterday and they said they do not review documents via email.

Just put estimate date of flight and hotel you don't have to buy them before you apply for visa.
