Can I use a bus or train ticket as proof for my Single Entry Tourist Visa application in Kuala Lumpur?

I always use bus ticket. They're cheap and can be purchased online. I haven't gotten a SETV from KL so it purely conjecture, but I think you could do something like bus ticket after 31 days arrival (requiring visa), hotel reservation for the time. Then once you have your passport back cancel the hotel - you'll only be out the cost of the bus Ticket. I do not think you will be asked about accommodation when entering Thailand.

Hi

I can only talk of my own experiences and I will add a precursor, as to say, anytime you are not fulfilling the checklist you run the risk of being rejected; because that week they're enforcing the rules or even just because they don't like the look of you. I've applied at KL at least 5-6 times over a 30 month period. My last application was December 2017, previous to that, was Sept 2017. I've always bought a flight to my next destination around the 89 day. And I've found that provided I had everything else on the list then 1-3 days of a booked hotel/hostel - starting from the day I arrive in Thailand - was fine. Additionally, there used to be a service provided by the hotel, across the road, on the same floor as the reception (its at the back), where they would let you use their internet and print documentation - a few years back, I once 'forgot' to purchase a onward flight and was able to run across the road and purchase/print a flight out of thailand. That said, I'm not sure if they still provide this service as I used it sometime ago. Others, might know. Good Luck!

You can book hotel on Booking with free cancelation, print the confirmation and after you can cancel it for free ... and they want see ticket to thailand and ticket out from thailand within 60 days

KL can be hard on their requirements and it's certainly not the most user friendly consulate in S/E Asia.

Let's see what people say who have been there
