I just applied for TR visa, followed by COE and now I am in Phuket.
You first need TR to apply for COE. And for TR they are asking accommodation after SHA+ hotel or ASQ. Then on COE you need proof of ASQ.
I had SHA+ booked but not paid. I did not risk paying before they issue any visa for me. Once I had visa, I paid for SHA+ accommodation and uploaded that in CoE application. And yes, I had onwards ticket. Not a return ticket.
Say what you want. I literally just gone that through... Which part exactly I was not right in your eyes?
not for TR visa. That’s later for COE application. TR actually asks for proof of accommodation after SHA+ or ASQ.. it’s not the same as STV or exemption..
