I'm looking at requirements for a "TR" Single entry visit from the United States.  It says I need to show my flight reservations getting into and out of the country.  But I'm not flying into Thailand?  How do I go about this?  I'm spending June in Vietnam, then getting to Thailand somehow, and staying there for July, August, September, then flying out of Bangkok.  Thank you!!

Answer summary

The user seeks clarification on the flight reservation requirements for obtaining a TR (Tourist Visa) Single Entry when traveling from Vietnam to Thailand, initially expressing confusion as their entry into Thailand will not be direct. Several comments suggest buying a bus ticket or proof of travel to Thailand as a workaround, alongside potential options to apply for a visa in Vietnam which could simplify the process.

Let me tell you that if you're in Vietnam prior to coming to Thailand, you will be flying here, unless you're a masochist. If you're only after a single entry TR though, the consulates in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh are easy to use with a 2 day processing time and requirements on the website

You need to buy a bus ticket or something that will prove you are coming to thailand on xxx date AND proof of onward travel that you are leaving thailand within 60-90 days after that,

I'm not sure of the consulate, I guess I haven't gotten that far. I'm very naive and new to the process. I'm from the U.s. I like the idea if getting it in Vietnam, I assume maybe that's a week of waiting time.

Which Consulate? That's usually only for the METV unless you're applying locally to Thailand. The UK doesnt require flights in/out for an SETV. An option is to buy your Tourist visa in Vietnam rather than the US
