hello to all

I would like to get a multiple tourist visa (TRM) for mid-October, but I will arrive directly from Japan and on the website of the embassy of Thailand, they indicate that to get the TRM, you need to reserve a ticket from France.... Has anyone ever experienced this situation? What should I do ?

Thanking you for your help... 😀

You can only apply for a multiple entry tourist visa from your home country or country of legal residence.

They will want to see flights from your country AND a reason you need a multiple entry visa- which usually means a ticket to Thailand, a ticket out and a ticket back to Thailand.

Once you have the visa it is irrelevant which flights you take to get to Thailand. It doesn’t have to be a direct flight and it doesn’t matter where from or even if by air or not c
