Do I need  to show a booked flight to Thailand when applying for DTV?

I'm planning to apply this week but my flight booking will not be for two months and I'm not sure when travel time will be or what country i will be in when I decide to travel to Thailand.

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a Thai DTV visa, you are not required to show a booked flight. Instead, you can upload a travel itinerary or provide a flight number if requested. This flexibility allows applicants to apply without having a confirmed booking, which is particularly helpful if travel plans are still uncertain.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

A friend who is checking that I have done all my paper work correctly mentioned that it was recommended that you submit your flight details and which is challenging as I have not booked my flight yet

Yes, if asked specific for in the e-visa portal, you can just give a travel itinerary and a potential flight number as for a Non O visa. You don’t need to upload any tickets and you’re not obligated to leave when planned after the visa is issued. An onward ticket will not influence the outcome of your DTV application.

there is no place for additional documents when you apply, you may be asked this as part of follow up documents.

You can just upload a travel itinerary and perhaps a flight number if it’s asked for in the e-visa portal. No issues, the visa is valid for five years.
