Do I need to purchase a flight before applying for a tourist visa to Thailand?
I am applying for a tourist visa do I need to purchase my flight first to upload my travel booking conformation or is there another way I dont currently have a flight booked ?
Answer summary
When applying for a tourist visa to Thailand, some embassies may require a confirmed flight itinerary, while others might only require a flight number for a proposed trip. If you haven't booked a flight yet, you can use third-party services to obtain a mock itinerary for a small fee, which can be used for your visa application.

A confirmed flight itinerary should suffice. You'll find websites offering the service for about $15. I used a company called travelvisaguru and had no issues

if he doesn't know his preferred dates yet then it gives him flexibility. The visa is valid for 3 months for entry

Some embassies want to see confirmed flights. Some just need a flight number of a flight you’d perhaps take. Maybe specify where you’re applying and perhaps others with experience of that one can confirm which.

Basically the ONLY thing that changed is that you no longer have to mail in your passport.Brett **********
@Brandon ***********
i stand corrected. Thought they were being done centrally since the switchBrandon ************
@Brett *********
not quite. Evisa is still processed by your local consulate. That's why they ask you where you are and proof of residence.Activity
