If you apply online, you have to upload a scan of your ticket/E-ticket.

Thai Visa application forms, in Australia, ask for proof of flight. So you have to show a ticket to get a visa, any visa.

This group would be a sorry place without you and your excellent advice.. Keep on keeping on bloke. Delete fools and bullies.

Yep, get a Tourist visa for 60days before you come. Then you have no worries.

Australia and USA don't not sure about others

@Eddie *****

that's a good change, but our friend still needs to front up to apply for his residence certificate

It's pretty plain, your 90 day report is due on the 9th May. As it is your first report it will have to be done in person and you can lodge your application for residence certificate at the same time. It usually takes about a week.

The O-A multi-entry from Australia does not require you to have any money in a Thai bank account, only sufficient funds in Australia to meet the requirements. If you use the multi-entry wisely you can get 2 years from that visa. I would suggest that you look at the O-X from the Thai Consulate in Sydney, not Canberra, far better visa for long term.

Qatar asked a friend yesterday at check in for vax certificate. So they are not aware of the changed requirements.

I don't think that it has been Gazetted yet. It has been approved by all the relevant agencies and the Cabinet.
