The discussion revolves around the acceptability of a Fit-To-Fly Form for traveling from the U.S. to Thailand, with users sharing opinions and experiences. Some assert that any document stating 'Fit to Fly' with a signature should suffice, provided it comes from a legitimate source. The topic also branches into broader concerns about visa processes, including the need for flight tickets, travel insurance, and ASQ arrangements, with various users offering personal insights and advice on preparations.

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

OK, it just seemed kind of crazy to book your trip without permission.. 🤣Thank you
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.
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.
Is there a wider thread about this? (getting the visa and flying from USA to Thailand?) I would like to try to get back to thailand next month. Thanks.

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

People don't need to comment "follow". Just hit the three dots in the corner and choose to follow a post. Don't make others read comments about following. Lol
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.
