@andesrosson do they still require a charter flight to get into Thailand from USA?

I'm not sure... I was planning on going on a semi-commercial flight.

@Andes *******
can you offer some advice?

I'm filling out the application for the visa and COE, but I'm very confused. Do I need to have plane tickets and insurance booked before applying? It's not letting me submit the online application without it

Yes, I put down a deposit of approximately $300 and will pay the remaining balance once I arrive at the hotel. I chose The Salil Hotel because it is a modest price, has good reviews, is close to the BTS station, and has a good cancellation/refund policy.

I had to buy my own insurance, I ended up using

because it's recommended by the Thai Embassy. It's a bit more expensive than other insurance policies I've seen ($400 for 90 days), but I was willing to pay a little extra if I know that it will be accepted.

Thank you. Did you have insurance already? Or did you buy some? Dod your ASQ have a refund policy?

I know, just make sure you read up on policies and are fully aware of their refund conditions.

I haven’t applied for my COE or visa yet, but I have already booked my flight, ASQ, and bought insurance. I did a lot of research and I’m pretty sure you need to have these 3 documents to start either process. Just make sure you know the refund/cancellation policy of your airline/ASQ before booking.

First stop should be your Royal Thai Embassy in your home country; then, go from there.

10 X more than you need, but yes; that would work. Any piece of paper that says "Fit to Fly" with a scribbled signature and maybe a stamp would probably work. However, it does need to be from a legitimate source.

I have a stamp that says "Official" if you would like to borrow it.
