TLDR : Answer Summary

There is conflicting information regarding the necessity of an outbound flight booking for the DTV visa application. According to several comments, no outbound tickets are required for the visa application itself, although some embassies or consulates may ask for inbound tickets. However, it appears that requirements can vary by nationality, as one user mentioned that the UK authorities require an outbound flight.
