TLDR : Answer Summary

The community confirms that you do not need a booked flight for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) application; you can provide a proposed or intended flight. Regarding the proof of funds, it's stated that any regular bank account can be used, and the 500k should be in a personal account.

No, just proposed or intended arrival flight.

No, any regular bank in any currency anywhere, suggest you provide a currency conversion rate if the funds are an obscure currency.

You can put a flight you may take, does not have to be booked. The 500k needs to be in a personal bank account.
