Hi everyone, I’m a UK citizen applying for a single entry tourist visa and the online process is asking for proof of travel booking and accommodation.

I’ve seen comments on here suggesting you can share your intended flight and hotel but not sure what you would then upload on this page? Has anyone gone through this?

Any help really appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK citizen applying for a single entry tourist visa to Thailand is inquiring about the online application process, specifically regarding the required proof of travel booking and accommodation. Responses suggest taking screenshots of intended flight and hotel reservations without making actual payments, as different embassies have varied requirements. Some users mention that a tourist visa is currently available, while others question the necessity of a certificate of entry for tourism.

Hi all, did you all send these screenshots of intended bookings via post to the london embassy?

I didn’t think you could get a tourist visa at the moment ?

You need a certificate of entry and not sure you can get them for tourism ??

Please correct me if wrong 😑

Note, someone said they got an email from the London embassy last week stating they needed to pay for the flight and hotel before they'd issue the visa. This however is inconsistent with emails and reports from other embassies. I would submit the documents without paying first, then if they don't accept them pay for your flight and hotel and resubmit them.

Book a flight and hotel online, but don't pay for it. Get to the confirmation page before you pay and screenshot it or print is as a PDF. Upload that.
