What should I consider when submitting flight documents with my DTV application?

Question

So I’ve been asked to provide flight documents to attach to my DTV application.

I’m hesitant to do so because there’s no guarantee my application will be approved, and I may want to travel a month or so later than the date I originally mentioned.

A few questions:

1. What’s the risk if I arrive a few weeks or even a month later than the date stated in my application? Will this cause any issues with approval or entry?

2. Why isn’t the flight number I found for the same date which I included in the application form not sufficient?

3. Has anyone else received this request before, and how did you handle it if your travel dates weren’t confirmed yet?

4. Do I need to book a return flight?

Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences.

Commenters share their experiences, suggesting the need for refundable tickets and the varying requirements by different embassies, particularly in London.

I have heard of the occasional embassy seeing someone with a much later travel date than when they were applying and either asked or paused the process so that the applicant didn’t lose much time on their visa. In their case as I recall it was a few months difference.

They requested that you show your pre-booked flight ticket from the travel agency.

I booked a refundable ticket in July. I got the visa, cancelled the flight and got the refund then entered in September on totally different flights. No questions asked

London asked for a flight ticket. I paid more and got a flexi.

The application asked for a proposed flight date and number, you're under no obligation to show tickets for that proposed date, you can change your mind or dates.

I got approved 2 days ago. Only took 7 days through london. Didnt supply rental contract nor TM30 nor travel documents! But I do have over 250k in my business account so I guess they didn’t care 😅

Ray ***** · Answer

I was asked by London Embassy and I took it as a positive. I was saying in my application I was leaving within the week. I booked the flight and uploaded the e-ticket and was approved within a couple of hours

A lot of your fellow comrades from the UK have been leaving the UK before the visa is approved, thank them for the scrutiny 🧐

Andrew ********* · Answer

I had to provide flight bookings on the way out and a flight booking to leave the country before the end of the 180 days.

I guess they want to see where you are coming from and when. I paid more and booked a flexible ticket as others have suggested.
