What are the options for obtaining a confirmed e-ticket for a Thailand visa application?

Question

ISSA Compass again.. this time they demand a confirmed e-ticket instead of itinerary. Any providers that’ll issue an e-ticket (not confirmation) on a refundable ticket please? 😵‍💫

Ask Thailand · Answer

The discussion revolves around the challenge of obtaining a confirmed e-ticket required by ISSA Compass for a Thailand visa application. Users share experiences and advice on finding airlines that provide fully refundable tickets, expressing frustrations about perceived unnecessary obstacles in the application process. Many suggest that the requirement for a confirmed ticket is not standard and recommend applying for the visa independently to simplify the experience. Various airlines and ticketing options are mentioned, including those that offer a 24-hour cancellation policy.

Emirates has fully refundable Flex Plus tickets. Very expensive airfare, but you do get a full refund whenever you cancel it.

Just to clarify for all that are interested - any booking with 24 hours cancellation isn’t acceptable for ISSA. It must be a booking that’s passed the 24 hour window and has a eticket issued. Probably for all the other reasons mentioned. I’m fairly confident at this point that it would have been easier to apply myself. Take note people 🙏🏻

Dosn't make sense? Why would you need a ticket if you don't even know if and how long it will take for them to approve the application?

Thai visa centre didn't need a ticket from me. Only hotel booking, stamp and visa in passport as proof I am not in Thailand waiting

This is a folkloric request and why I always recommend people to apply by themselves.

The thai embassies themselves DON'T ask for a confirmed flight ticket.

This is a made-up request by the agency to make it look like obtaining a DTV is way more difficult than it is

A confirmed e-ticket is a paid flight ticket. Therefore, holding a reservation is out of sight.

So, if you decide to continue with this agency, you will have to pay for a fully refundable ticket.

Or... Better, simpler and easier... Ditch them and apply by yourself.

I know that Finnair has such an option, buy a ticket, get an e-ticket and cancel within 24 hours, and get the full amount refunded :)

There are multiple ticket websites that you can pay like $10-20 and they will hold a ticket for you that gets cancelled before the actual flight

Wow 😳 the hurdles keep appearing..

Find an airline which allows you to cancel your flight booking within 24 hours of making it...

Print out the booking when first made

Cancel it ASAP

Submit the ticket booked with your DTV Visa Application.

Right now this is YOUR DTV VISA APPLICATION...

Only after you have the DTV visa can you apply for your family dependent DTV visas.

Nobody can help you because they don't know what flight route you want to take. There are so many airlines that offer fully refundable tickets. You just have to search for it.
