What are the flight and accommodation requirements for the DTV visa in Thailand?

Question

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding the flight and accommodation requirements for the DTV visa.

I already submitted my application, and for the flight and accommodation details, I used information from flights and hotels I was considering booking. However, I’ve now received an email asking me to provide actual proof of flight and accommodation bookings.

Since i don’t even know whether the visa will be approved, I’m a bit confused about how am i expected to book everything in advance, especially accommodation for up to 6 months.

How did you handle it, and what documents did you submit as proof?

Thanks in advance!

The inquiry revolves around the flight and accommodation proof needed for the DTV visa application in Thailand. The applicant seeks guidance on handling requests for actual bookings, given uncertainty about visa approval. Several community members provided advice, suggesting options like booking refundable flights, using temporary accommodations, or stating intentions for longer stays. Many have shared their experiences which indicate that flexible bookings and minimal initial proof may suffice, reassuring the applicant about the possibility of approval despite not having concrete arrangements.

I just received my approval today!!

I had flights booked as I was going with visa exemption if dtv was not approved.

I told them the place I was intending to stay and that contract would be confirmed closer to Jan travel. They did not question this.

I booked a cheap flight purely for including in the initial application. I never even used it as my plans changed by a week, but it was still worth it for DTV approval.

Accomodation -  I included a 12 month lease agreement.

Watch out for 'flexible' tickets. I paid extra for this on the flight then attempted to change the date and they wanted almost £200 to swap it. The flight was only £300.

Because they’re requesting for it, they’re most likely going to approve it.

I presume if you’re applying then I presume you must have a date in which you want to go? You will need a booked flight, they may ask for a return but I doubt it, also if you already have a date in mind then you probably know exactly where you want to stay in the first few days/week, that’s all you need to submit. When you submit the accommodation it may look like you have to supply your whole entire stay but you don’t need to.

I also worried about this. I got lucky and they didn't ask for any proof when I applied.

I hope you come right.
