Can I fill in random flight details for my DTV visa application before booking my travel?

Thailand DTV Visa Visa Application Process Entry Rules for Thailand Visa Validity Travel Planning for Expats

Jun 21, 2025

ORIGINAL POSTER

I started my DTV application on the thaievisa.go.th website. At one point they ask me when I want to go to Thailand, what flight number, how long I want to stay, and "I shouldn't ask for the DTV visa more than 3 months before actually going to Thailand".

Questions:

1. I want to get my visa first before booking my flight and accomodation, so can I just fill random stuff temporarily?

2. If I get my DTV, is there a 3 months limit like other visas, like if I don't enter Thailand during these 3 months my DTV is lost?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for the DTV visa on the thaievisa.go.th website, you can fill in temporary or random flight details. This is common as applicants often complete forms before finalizing their travel arrangements. It's important to note that while you can apply for the DTV visa no more than three months before your intended travel, there isn't a strict three-month limit on when you must enter Thailand once your visa is granted. The DTV has a validity period of five years, allowing flexibility in your travel dates.

INTENDED traveldate.

Flightnumbers are like busnumbers, referring to a route not a specific date or time.

When the chosen Embassy says: “shouldn't ask for the DTV visa more than 3 months before actually going to Thailand"

Then you shouldn’t apply more than 3 months before, or the Embassy will have a easy way to deny you the visa, and you will loose the 10,000+ baht visafee.

Embassy websites always override answers from google or facebook.

There are no any 3 months limits. There is visa validity date only. Most visas are valid for 3 months

Put your intended date/flight of arrival, you aren't bound by it.

No, you can enter anytime within the 5 year validity.

1. you can fill random stuff(this is standard form for people who apply for short term tourist visa so they will ask some questions that doesnt make sense for long term visa like dtv

2. You can enter thailand later than 3 months, no penalty. nothing to worry
