Do I need to pay for an ASQ hotel booking when applying for a TR Tourist visa for Thailand?
I have started to apply for the TR Tourist visa. To get the visa I thought you do not need proof of ASQ hotel. The documentation section asks to upload proof of places of stay. Is this for the ASQ hotel or after the hotel where I stay after I have finish Quarantine? This means I have to pay for the ASQ hotel knowing that I might get the visa? Can someone please advise me on this?
Answer summary
When applying for a TR Tourist visa for Thailand, the application requires you to upload proof of accommodation. Many users clarified that this proof is typically for accommodation after completing the ASQ (alternative state quarantine) hotel stay and not for the ASQ itself. It is suggested to book an accommodation with flexible cancellation policies for after the quarantine, and it's acceptable to use a screenshot of a potential booking for the visa application. Confirmation of ASQ booking may not be necessary for the visa but is needed for the Certificate of Entry (COE). Always check with the specific embassy or consulate for their documentation requirements.

The application for the visa asks for ASQ and flights, however most embassies don't require them. You need to upload a screenshot or PDF of your intended bookings (get to the booking page before you pay for you hotel and flight, screenshot that, and upload it.)

ok I’ll have a look at this one! Thank you David *********
It’s accommodation after ASQ, you don’t need to book an asq untill you apply for the Coe
Gareth ********
OP@David ********
this is what I thought. So that question it’s asking me to upload accommodation it’s only for after I stay at an ASQ hotel? David *********
@Gareth *******
yes book a couple weeks somewhere with free cancellation, you don’t need to book the full term you are there and some lads have just screen shot a potential booking but it’s upto youGareth ********
OP@David ********
ok 👍David *********
@Gareth *******
I have a acs global travel policy but you don’t need insurance for the visa Gareth ********
OP@David ********
ok great, am halfway there now. Need to ask what did you do for travel/Covid insurance? David *********
@Gareth *******
yes correct Gareth ********
OP@David ********
obviously I'd have to book for after the 2 weeks of quarantine and use this to upload to get the visa? Is this right?Gareth ********
OP@David ********
as long as it’s accepted to get my visa it’s ok. David *********
@Gareth *******
yes but it does say it’s not been paid Gareth ********
OP@David ********

I booked everything in advance with flexible options, that’s one benefit from covid (many) airlines and hotels are actually accommodating and helpful

I think that declaration of stay is after ASQ hotel
Mark ***********
@Nik ***********
you submit your declaration the day you apply for visa you also are required to have a hard copy with you when you enter thailand 
Ryan ********
I would call the embassy/consulate you are applying at and ask them.
they really shouldn't require the ASQ booking confirmation for the Visa. You do need the ASQ reservation for the COE

@Ryan *******
Ryan its an online declaration and you have to just put something in the box ( upload) to keep it going to submit it. After you get the 1st email reply from consulate you can log in and change things every day if you like to add your new documents. So as you move forward and you get your new documents just log in and upload. Is this what you did ?Ryan ********
@Ma**
I never had to do this. My visa app was done in person and COE online. But I was applying for a tr visa. Gareth ********
OP@Ryan *******
probably on what embassy is issuing the visa. Mark ***********
@Ryan *******
ok no worries all good mate yeah the consulate sometimes they strange we just work with them to get it doneRyan ********
@Gar***
I guess it depends on the embassy you are using.Ryan ********
@Ma**
I don’t need any help. I arrived this morning. But I didn’t have to book my asq before I had my visa.
Gareth ********
OP@Ryan *******
am also applying for TR visa. Mark ***********
@Ryan *******
same as me i did it like you. Does not matter what visa still have to update everything online just do as i explained youll be right, here to help you. Online is the way the consulate request things from you so when you get a email for flights or insurance or ASQ documents you can upload and you want section 11.4 TR visaGareth ********
OP@Ryan *******
That was my understanding as well, but thaievisa website is asking me to attach places of accommodation. Mark ***********
@Gareth *******
yes and ? Mark ***********
You talk your ASQ pick 1 that allows deposit with a change of date if required. I payed 5000 deposit Pullman G, they gave me a certificate to upload excepted by thai consulate. I think you are on the embassy website to do the application declaration 11.4. You will be asked where your staying on your declaration 11.4 after ASQ and have proof because immigration may ask in thailand

@Mark **********
what Mark said! Find an ASQ that takes a deposit - if the visa fails, or you can't travel for some other reason, you lose a small amount (and a good hotel will let you use that credit for a future booking!)Activity
