Does the arrival date on my visa application need to match my e-ticket arrival date?
I've had an additional document request asking for eticket flight confirmation.. does the intended arrival date on the original visa application need to exactly match the eticket arrival date? Does it matter that my ticket is a few days different? Thanks
I've already bought the ticket. It has a different arrival date than the date I entered on the original visa application.

Answer summary
The user inquired whether it was necessary for the arrival date on their visa application to match the e-ticket date, given that their purchased ticket has a different arrival date. Responses varied, with most agreeing that it likely does not matter, as travel plans can change. There were also discussions about the types of tickets required, with emphasis on needing a genuine e-ticket for entry into Thailand rather than an onward ticket. Several commenters noted their experiences with the UK embassy and the general requirements for submitting visa applications.

shouldnt matter as travel dates and plans can always change.
could also always book an „onward“ ticket for any date and route

they want the actual E-ticket from the airline into Thailand from the country you are applying fromDany ********

exactly what you get from a website like onwadify, onward ticket, best onward ticket, onewayfly, dummyfares, book onward ticket. and many many more. that is the common name for these services that are often used for visa purposes. you can get an official ticket number from these and you can usaly specify how long the ticket should stay valid.btw: ticket number is never actually checked by an embassy. they are not logging into the airline with the data 😅

not everyone knows their final travel plans when applying for a visa. and for these reasons there are „onward flight“ services that give you any ticket that you want on any route on any day. they are specifically for these purposes. just inform yourself. it is super common to use for visa applications.

immigration is asking for the eticket travelling to Thailand not an onward ticketLuit *****************
@Dany *******
As I read this, it is about the ticket traveling to Thailand, so not an onward ticket.I only read this question more often from London embassy, most others not ask for real tickets.

the website services call themselves often „onward“. it is for any ticket and for visa purposes. i used them for my gf also for schengen flight proof. onwardify for example. its just a word.Luit *****************
@Dany *******
I don't know why it is not working, but there are stories it is possible to distinguish them from real.I only can think of one way to check, but that would require you to also show your payment receipt.
But then again, just buying a ticket that can be cancelled for free is easy and cost nothing.

why is it not working when you get an official booking? how you know its not working?also: embassies dont even check the validity. tickets are just for showing willingness to actually travel

It is not always working, and often better just to buy tickets yourself that can be cancelled for free.Activity
