Asking for a friend. His data on phone has expired. He needs to know if you have to have a PAID FOR FLIGHT as well as pre paid hotels. He is nervous about losing the cost of the flight if rejected.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for the Thai Pass, it is commonly stated that proof of booking for flights, hotels, insurance, and PCR tests is required, which implies these should be paid for in advance. However, some users have shared conflicting experiences, indicating that it is possible to submit an application without having purchased the flight ticket, as only the flight number and arrival time are necessary. Ultimately, while the hotel may necessitate proof of a confirmed flight for pickup, there is evidence that one can receive the Thai Pass code before booking the flight.

Three times I've booked with Agoda with free cancellation - and three times the hotel has issued an Sha cert saying it is a paid booking.
I've never had a problem Brian. Centerpoint seem to have it all organised.

You need to enter a flight mumber on tp site but you do not need to show a ticket. I got my tp b4 buying flight ticket. I was worried about tp not coming through in time & there was only ever going to be 1 route I was going to take.

The flight doesn’t need to be booked to apply for the TP

Flight number and arrival time - does not have to be a confirmed flight on TP application BUT the hotel will want to pick you up from the flight to bring you to hotel - just bear that in mind

These answers are not true. The flight does NOT need to be paid for. You must only enter your intended flight date and number. I know this because I entered on the Test and Go scheme the day before yesterday.
well I’m home in Bangkok so… seems to have worked pretty well

Yes, flight, hotel, insurance, and PCR tests need to be booked and paid for before Thaipass is issued. Thaipass is only rejected if you don’t have something.

Yes. The TP requires booking confirmation, which won't be issued until someone pays for it. Proof of purchase for things such as insurance, hotel (and pcr) bookings, flight tickets all need to be provided when applying for TP.

Hotels and PCR tests and insurance must all be paid for to Apply for Thai Pass. Don't pay he will never get his Pass
what happened if we booked though booking com with hotel that have sha plus they told us we don’t need to pay till we arrived there come with 2 pcr test do we need to get a letter from them
That is a good option and once the Thai Pass is secured, one can just let the process take its course before investing any additional funds. Don't forget to Return Ticket and Bank requirement of minimum 20,000 Bahts = 600USD. In this New World Order environment, one must be a good boy scout and be ready. I successfully used this website for my Return Ticket : Best of Luck!
