ORIGINAL POSTERBecause visa applications now are all through the E Visa website. Is the paper application form even necessary?
Has anyone been successful without downloading, printing, completing & then uploading the old paper form?It seems unnecessary?

TLDR : Answer Summary
With the introduction of the E Visa website for Thai visa applications, the necessity of the traditional paper application form has come into question. Community feedback indicates that the paper form is no longer required by some users, but it is noted that not all embassies have fully transitioned to digital processing.
