This is from the Thai PP Embassy site

Does the Thai Embassy actually ask for 1, and 2.?

Copy of ID card

Copy of residence certificate (Carnet de Residence/ Family Record Book)

6.1 Company employee must prepare company work certificate (Business card is not acceptable)

6.2 Self-employed applicant must prepare business registration/license (original)

6.4 Pensioner must prepare bank statement or pension fund

Hotel reservation in Thailand with name and dates of checking in/out

Airline ticket or confirmation slip with flight number and date of entry/exit

I have seen no posts saying they are needed.

The hotel one for sure is not needed.

You find the ticket requirement on every embassy/consulate website.

The only way to know for sure is to contact them.

THANKS

6.1 - 6.4 are for Non Imm visas.

I assume you are after a Tourist Visa??

Yes, a tourist visa. I am interested in the plane ticket out of Thailand and also the hotel reservation.

I can bring my house lease, but they may truely want to see that I stay in a hotel... NON-permanent residency. The ticket: My travel agent can make that for me.

Don't worry about the hotel it will not be asked for.

When you apply for a tourist visa they don't ask for a hotel reservation and/or plane ticket. You make a copy of your house lease for them, and on the application form you write as reason for visit 'family visit'. That is it.

No problems, no hassle at all.

Forgot to say that if you apply for a NON-IMM O (family visit), they like to see a copy of the ID-card and Family record book of your wife, and a house lease or rental agreement. Statement from the bank or pension fund, as mentioned in 6.4, are not asked for.

thanks a lot for the information

…When you apply for a tourist visa they don't ask for a hotel reservation and/or plane ticket..

When I apply for a tourist visa I always write “tourism” as the purpose of my visit, even if it is my wife, who usually arrives a couple of weeks before me in Thailand, I am going to stay with.
