Is it normal to require supporting documents like flight and hotel bookings before submitting a Thai e-visa application?

Question

At the end of my TR visa application, it's asking me to upload supporting documents, ie flight confirmation, hotel booking confirmation  and various other things. 
I thought I can do that after I get a visa, not before, It will not allow me to submit my my application without these, is this normal ?

THAI E-VISA

Ask Thailand · Answer

The requirement to upload supporting documents such as flight confirmations and hotel bookings before submitting a Thai e-visa application is common, although it varies by embassy. Many applicants reported needing to provide proof of these arrangements even at the application stage. Some suggest taking a screenshot of tentative bookings or using options with flexible cancellation policies. It's advised to check specific requirements at the relevant Thai embassy, as procedures can differ significantly depending on location.

You apply for your visa stage 1.

2 when it is approved and stamped on your passport.

3 go online upload your passport page + visa page + flight + asq hotel + insurance.

4 then your coe is approved to enter Thailand.

You do not have to book flights or asq hotel and insurance for your visa to be approved.

That is ridiculous.

If you are been taken this road.

Book your flight. Asq hotel and insurance when you are ready to travel.

Once you have all 3 booked apply online for a visa excemption and get your COE.

Your country comes under the visa excemption. You don't actually need a visa to travel now.

This visa process is causing so much issues with people.  If I want to come to Thailand I have to fly back to Australia do 2 x weeks quarantine, then apply for a visa (if I’m allowed out). And then do 2 weeks quarantine in Thailand.  One I haven’t been back to Australia for over 2 years and I work in the oil and gas industry so it doesn’t make sense to do 4 weeks in a hotel to get 1 to 2 weeks holiday!  Hopefully something changes soon.....
