ORIGINAL POSTER

LONDON THAI EMBASSY DTV

I have applied for my DTV and now they are asking for a flight to Thailand (I will be doing some travels on my way back). It seems that this is the standard document checks they ask for after the initial docs that are at the first stage.

How did people in my situation get around this step? What if we haven't booked a direct way into Thailand?

I have been trying to call the embassy with no response.

Anyone else who was in this situ, please reach out! TIA

Are they asking for a flight number, or asking for flight details ?

There are a big difference.

I guess by this requirement, they want to exclude people who are already in some other place in the World and Thailand, to apply for a DTV on the London Embassy E-Visa site. This is their right

I just put in a flight that I probably will be taking and there wasn’t any question they approved my visa. Just find whatever flight number is going to Bangkok and put that in 👍🏻

I only entered the flight number of a Qatar flight that was scheduled on the same day as the date I said I intended on travelling

It’s actually very simple, use this for your ticket for the visa, it’s a verifiable ticket with booking for the date and time you choose that is an actual flight but isn’t a ticket

If they are asking for a ticket to Thailand , it may just be another way to check if you are in the uk or not.

Submitted an application this afternoon and the flight was not required. It went from Pending Document Check to Pending Approval within 2 hours after submitting.

it's not normal to buy a ticket before the visa, in fact many places tell you not to book flights, they will ask for what they need extra
