UKJASE Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hi Guys - early next year i am going to Kuala Lumpur to apply for tourist visa. I am hoping for 60 day tourist visa, then fly back to hua hin. On the application form for the visa it says i need to show proof of onward travel from thailand, plus proof of accomodation for the whole period i will be in thailand. I dont have either of these, and my circumstances make it difficult for me to obtain these (i will be staying with girlfriend at her place / plus i dont know my future plans after the 60 days yet). Has anyone been to apply recently for the tourist visa at KL who could tell me if they think i will have a problem? If so, are there any easy solutions? ie where can i book tickets / reservation that can easily be cancelled later? Happy new year to all ????

DrJack54 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) You won't need show accom for entire stay. Make booking on something like Agoda "pay at hotel". Also free cancellation. Perhaps for first week of stay. As for onward flight buy cheap throw away ticket. No way around that.

ubonjoe Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 They certainly will ask for the ticket out and proof of accommodations. You could buy a one way lost cost ticket to any nearby country from any airport here. The don't state it has to be a flight ticket on the checklist. http://www.thaiembassy.org/kualalumpur/contents/images/text_editor/files/1_1.pdf For accommodations your girlfriend could write the invitation letter with a copy of her ID card as shown here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The "invitation letter" is just another unnecessary layer to provide. Less is best. As stated it's easy to provide accommodation booking even if fictitious. More accurate advice if you provide your plans re this visit. Meaning your wish list for length of stay etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think it would be so difficult for his girl friend to write a simple letter stating he will be staying with her during his stay in the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerox Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I always do hotel bookings (with free cancellation) for such things. Better not make them angry when they see you rent something long-term like a condo or have a relationship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJASE Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 are there any airlines that people know of, where i can book a flight out of thailand and then cancel it, without being charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are but frankly not worth it. The refund can take some time and waste of your time. Google sites similar to rent a flight etc. Then cost about 10-12 USD. Or actually use the flight. Depending on your history for visa exempt simple reentry. I got Saigon every month for weekend. It's cheap. Or just book cheapest onward flight. You can buy for under 1000baht. Then chuck it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tounge Thaied Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) All you have to do is put her address in as your place of stay, then go online and find a legit flight number and fill that in. If you use the same airline that you flew in on, it will look legit. They won't question it. Edited January 1, 2020 by Tounge Thaied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldriglikvid Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 My friend used a 2 year old flight ticket and changed the dates in a word editor, and printed out. This worked for a SETV in HCMC. However, perhaps they check the flight tickets validity from time-to-time - so follow that advice on your own risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's applying for a visa - the embassy will want to see a confirmed booking in his name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
