2 questions about dtv

1. Do I have to have a flight booked as I don't want to book until I am approved. Anyway round this?

2. Does it matter what bank I use for 500k proof?

TLDR : Answer Summary
1. You do not need to have a booked flight to apply for the DTV visa; you can indicate a proposed or intended flight instead. 2. You can use any regular bank for the 500,000 THB financial proof, but it's advisable to provide a currency conversion rate if the funds are in a less common currency.

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.
