ORIGINAL POSTERAny advice for a Canadian applying for a standard tourist visa? The visa website appears to be outdated? They are asking me to submit proof of quarantine hotel payment and health insurance. I know neither of these are required anymore. I’m worried if I submit without these documents my application will be rejected and I’ll lose my application fee. Any Canadians have recent experience with this?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Canadian is seeking advice on applying for a standard tourist visa to Thailand, expressing concerns about outdated visa website information asking for documents like proof of quarantine hotel payment and health insurance, which are no longer required. Commenters suggest verifying the visa type, encourage applying for the Single Entry Tourist Visa instead, and offer creative solutions for submitting unnecessary documentation.

For anything that isn't required to apply for the single entry TR visa anymore, simply upload a photo of a note stating:
"N/A Not required"
btw, I'm not Canadian. 🙃 555

You mentioned "neither of these are required anymore" so I wonder why you worry? I'm Canadian too and will be visiting Thailand this Oct. on Visa exemption for 30 days (I think its exempt for 45 days currently)....

Double check your application. It sounds like you are applying for the Special Tourist Visa (STV). Do not apply for that as the program is ending this month. Apply for the Single Entry Tourist Visa (TR). Go back and check that you selected correctly.

It's a good thing that they never updated the STV application because it's a dead giveaway when someone asks that question nowHarriet *******
