How soon should I apply for the Thai Pass and do I need to wait for my visa approval?

I’m curious to know how long you have to use it before it expires. Don’t want to apply too early in case there’s a time limit on when you can use it. I’m not sure.

Anyone know the chances of getting the TR visa approved? I know it’s a hard question to answer, but curious if anyone here has been denied. Can you try again if unsuccessful? Sent my application off today.

I just applied and you have to show flight booking and booked hotel accommodation. For Australia anyway, maybe it’s different for other counties.

you can book a hotel for 90 days that has a cancellation policy. Once your STV visa is approved, cancel the hotel.
