I'm applying at the London embassy and I've been seeing that when they ask for additional documents they seem to ask for an actual flight booking. Does it matter if this flight booking is different to the intended flight I entered at the start of my application?

Help! Applying for a (necessary) METV and have a genuine flight booking into the country but unsure when I'm booking a return trip out at the moment. Can I use one of those dummy tickets as proof of ticket out ? If not does anyone know the cheapest refundable airline ticket...this is soooo stressful! Helpful advice only please 😜🙏

Hey guys,

I’ve applied for DTV London.

Submitted all docs but now requesting an E ticket with my flights which I haven’t booked yet as want to wait for the approval. Has anyone else experienced this from London?

Any advice would be much appreciated 😊 applying for workation btw. Thank you

For those that applied for DTV in Vietnam is it better to:

• A) Just buy a one way plane ticket to Hanoi, then once visa is approved buy another one way back? (Sometimes at airports they wanna see ur return flight so that is my concern with this option)

• ⁠B) Buy a Return Flex ticket. So you can change your fly back date depending on when your visa is approved.

How do I go about dealing with inbound flight/accomodation section of the application process (DTV) when you don't currently have my flights or accomodation sorted out?

I'm planning to apply tomorrow, I'm in the Phillipines but my flight booking will not be for two months and I'm not sure if I will be in Australia or America at the time, so figuring out flights now is not an easy situation..

Hi all, regarding the "intended date of arrival" section of the online application, I have not purchased a ticket yet for Thailand or booked a hotel yet because I have no idea how long my application will take to get approved. Does this mean that I have to book a ticket and hotel for Thailand anyway, even if I miss the flight date because my application approval takes longer than expected and I miss the flight?

General travel booking question for this very travel savvy group. Are there any aggregators that are still with using? I've used Momondo for years and at this point they are basically just a search engine. They then send you to every other company involved to pay and get badgered into paying for whatever they want to upsell. I just want to give my flight data get a list of choices and buy a thing... Does that not exist anymore?

I started my DTV application on the thaievisa.go.th website. At one point they ask me when I want to go to Thailand, what flight number, how long I want to stay, and "I shouldn't ask for the DTV visa more than 3 months before actually going to Thailand".

Questions:

1. I want to get my visa first before booking my flight and accomodation, so can I just fill random stuff temporarily?

2. If I get my DTV, is there a 3 months limit like other visas, like if I don't enter Thailand during these 3 months my DTV is lost?

Not a visa question, but a flight question. I've noticed that I can get a round trip business or even economy flight for about the same price as a one-way ticket. I'll be coming in on a Non-O with no plans of leaving, is there any downside to booking that flight? Will I be on the hook for any fees for not taking the outbound flight?

So I read in a few posts that we have to submit the flight number of a booked flight when applying for DTV.

Is this correct?

It seems strange to book a flight before you have an approved visa.

In our case, my husband is applying for DTV and when his is approved, myself & 3 kids will then apply with him as our sponsor.

Why would we want to book 5 tickets if we don’t know the visa will be approved?

How have other families done this?
