ORIGINAL POSTERI am a from UK and trying to get my head around the evisa application. It is asking me for my invitation from a Thai resident. Obviously I'm only going for a holiday so have no idea what to upload . If someone could advise me I would be grateful thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Thailand tourist eVisa, you can upload your hotel booking as proof of accommodation instead of an invitation from a Thai resident. It's sufficient to provide details for just the first few nights of your stay. The application primarily seeks to ensure you have a place to stay and the means to support yourself during your visit.

London Embassy accepts just 1st 3 nights of accommodation. So don't need to have all 60 days, pre booked.

dont overthink things. Many of the questions are worded in such a way that suggests they want deep meaningful info. They dont, they just want to know you have accomodation and can afford to fund yourself whilst there. When i did my multi entry TR visa last year, i think i supplied pretty much the same info for 3 or 4 of the questions without any issues. Any problems and they will email you. I even did a multi entry TR application for a friend and they gave him a 1 year non immigrant O over 50 visa without any questions about insurance. The UK embassy is pretty easy to work with.

@Graham *****
when i tried to apply for it last year for myself there very definitely was a requirement Graham, that they had just started because of Covid. Thats why i ended up getting a multi entry TR visa.Graham ******
@Paul **********
Were you looking at OA which always has had such a requirement?Paul ***********
@Graham *****
think i was looking at both OA and OX. I had always got the over 50 one many times before over the last 15 years, and never an insurance requirement. But last year it was there for the first time. If i get chance i will check the embassy website later and post it on here.Graham ******
@Paul **********
I thought the OX wasn't available from the UKPaul ***********
@Graham *****
your missing the point. There have always been 2 options for me for a non immigrant O visa getting here in the UK before going to Thailand. I cant remember at this time the exact classification of non O, thats why i said i will check the embassy site later and put on here. But there was never a medical insurance policy requirement in either of the 2 options i used to use. Last year there was and i was unable to get a non O for that reason. When was the last time you got a non O from the UK graham?Graham ******

Not retirement but marriage last yearPaul ***********
@Graham *****
and how did you find that? I looked at it before when i was living in Thailand before Covid and it looked a paperwork nightmareGraham ******
@Paul **********
Not too bad to get all the relevant documents scanned and uploaded if you give yourself plenty of time. Easier I'd say than going to Thailand and copying everything to take to Immigration and applying there.Paul ***********
@Graham *****
Ihave been back on the Thai Embassy website and it was the Long Stay visa ( O-A Non Imm ) that last year asked for a medical policy ( for the first time ever ) whilst in Thailand. However, it is now removed for the one year visa but still therefor the 5 year long stay visa. So I will now be applying for the 1 year long stay for my return in October. ( Glad i checked it ).Reply to

If you're applying for a tourist visa just upload your first hotel booking for that question.
