Why is a flight booking required for COE approval when applying for a 45-day entry into Thailand?
If your applying for 45 day entry why do you have to buy your flight before they give you COE approval i was told approval first then 15 days to book flight ALQ then you get COE
Answer summary
When applying for a Certificate of Entry (COE) for a 45-day entry into Thailand, applicants must provide flight details at the time of application. This is a requirement for COE issuance, even if the traveler is visa exempt. Some users have found success booking flexible flights that allow for changes in case of adjustments to their travel plans.

I booked flights that I could change with no penalty just in case and then used the confirmations in the uploads. I didn’t have any problems.

@Steve ********
it just asks for a flight company and number, you can find flight numbers easily online without booking one Jeff *********
You’ve just answered your own question. If you’re going in visa exempt , then You technically don’t have to get the flight until the 15 day countdown on the CoE.
