ORIGINAL POSTERFlight number/ accommodation
Hi guys! silly question here!
I'm applying for the DTV Visa Now in November to hopefully have it approved by end of December. My plan is to move in January but I don't have a flight number or accommodation details since I don't know if the visa will be approved in time 🤷🏼♂️
I know that for accommodation I can book something and change the date if is needed (if someone can confirm please if is valid to do that) but what I can do about the flight number?
I know I can change the flight and it will cost me about 300 euros but this will interfere at the moment of arrival? Will they also ask for confirmation of the flight? or they just need a flight number?
Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
Have a good one!

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for the DTV visa, it's common to face uncertainty regarding flight and accommodation details. It's generally acceptable to use a flight that aligns with your intended travel date, even if it's changeable or refundable, as visa authorities primarily focus on your intended entry date. You can proceed to book accommodation with flexible dates. Submitting your application before December 20th is advisable due to upcoming holidays, and ensure you demonstrate a clear travel plan.

Netherlands is quick at the moment, we got 3 DTV’s in a few days :)
We actually booked the flight and also used it as evidence of current location, so can’t help you with that. They didn’t ask us for actual accommodation booking.

The DTV visa's primary concern is your intended date of entry into Thailand. Therefore, you should go ahead and secure your accommodation and flight bookings, and then use that information to submit your DTV application.
Since your planned travel date is in January, I strongly advise you to submit your application before December 20th, as the consulate will observe a 5-day holiday period for New Year's.

Depending on where you applied, it's ok to just put an intended flight.

I'm applying in the Netherlands, will it work?Andi ***********
BrightSunflower8975 I have seen flight reservation only needed posts before for The Netherlands. If they actually want to see a confirmed flight ticket, they tend to ask later for it. You can email them to confirm.

I’ve seen some people mention they used a flight that runs around the time you submit “arrival date”
For me I used a flight from
Trip.com that was refundable booked for 25th (not sure if it helped speed things up)
Got approved this morning (4 days) in Hanoi
