Hello,

Im applying for the DTV remote work visa at the washington DC consulate. The online form is asking for a flight number, not a ticket.

I can easily go look up a flight into thailand and use that number, but there is no ticket associated with that flight number.

Also there is no where to upload proof of buying a ticket they just ask for a flight number to be typed into a box.

Did you people buy an actual ticket, or just enter a flight number into BKK airport without buying an actual ticket?
Answer summary
A user applying for the DTV remote work visa at the Washington DC consulate is uncertain whether they need to purchase an actual flight ticket or if they can simply provide a flight number on the online application. Comments indicate that some applicants have successfully used just a flight number, while others recommend booking a ticket for peace of mind, suggesting that requirements may vary.

Flight numbers are like bus numbers, they tell the route of the plane, not the specific date and time.

Some Embassies want a ticket some just intended flight.

I am also using the Washington DC consulate. I have already booked my flight, so I just used the flight number from the booking.

Just use flight number of intended flight, when they need they can ask for a ticket later.

I actually bought a ticket, but there are risks with that of course.

Mine was just approved through same embassy. I don’t recall it asking for any flight info. Must of changed… but then again I already booked my flight with intention of going regardless if I was approved or not.

I entered the flight number that we intended to book for traveling to Bangkok.
