Do you need to have your flight and accomodation booked for dtv application? It asks for date and flight number but don’t want to book a flight incase it gets rejected? Thanks in advance
Answer summary
For a DTV visa application, you do not need to have booked a flight or accommodation in advance. Applicants often indicate an intended travel date and may write 'TBD' for the flight number. It's common to explain that arrangements will be made after visa approval to avoid financial loss in case of rejection. Alternatively, booking a fully refundable hotel can also be a practical solution.

I booked a hotel that was fully refundable and used that for my DTV application. This way, you won't be committed to that hotel booking as you can change it if need be after your DTV is approved.

No, a fully booked flight or accommodation is not required for the DTV. Most people put an intended travel date and write “TBD” or “not booked yet” for the flight number, or upload a short note explaining they’ll book after approval. This is commonly accepted and avoids risking money if the visa is rejected.
