Single Entry Tourist Visa Application Help (Maybe 45 day??)

Hi All... Can anyone help? :-)

I have been trying to apply for Single Entry Tourist Visa on the Thai eVisa website (I am from England)

However when you get to the last page  'Supporting Documents' it has around 10 options. Most dont apply to single entry visa, but I cannot progress as all options are a MUST to add something?

I have double checked and I only need to confirm a couple of things with the documents so not sure how to proceed? Anyone have this problem?

Also wondering... Is it probably worth just going in on a 45day stamp, then going out the country for a few days or a week then coming back in on another 45 day?

Me and my family are in Thailand around 3 months.

Thanks in advance everyone.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks help with applying for a Single Entry Tourist Visa on the Thai eVisa website, encountering compulsory document requirements that do not apply to the visa type. They also consider the option of entering Thailand on a 45-day visa exemption and afterwards applying for another 45 days upon leaving and re-entering. Several comments offer advice on how to handle document submission issues and suggest alternative options for long-term stay.

UPDATE:

So I applied for the 3 of us and adding a photo saying not applicable but that I was willing to send any document needed.

They then email back with in 1 hour of application saying :

“Your visa application has been cancelled. Please start a new application using your full name and correct passport number as appeared on your passport. Visa fees are non-refundable. However, you can still enter Thailand with a 45 days visa exemption. The applicant does not wish to submit further documents requested and wishes to cancel his/ her application”

This doesn’t make any sense as I was NEVER asked to send further documents and I did not want to cancel my application???

So confused as I’ve had many before and not seen this.

Any Ideas? I will trying ringing again today but was non stop ringing yesterday with no answer.

45 day visa exempt for UK passport holders up to 31st March 23 that you can extend for a further 30 days for 1900 baht. Or as you say fly out and back in again for another 45 days is easy too.

For the ones that you're sure aren't necessary, you can just upload an image that says "not applicable" or upload something that seems close enough and makes sense.

If they don't like anything they will email you and ask for additional information. Processing time for London seems to be about 3 business days.
