Hi all, quick question regarding DTV application. Is it mandatory to provide a flight booking entering Thailand as well as Accommodation? If not, would it be strongly recommended?

Is it mandatory to have a hotel and flight booked in TH prior to submit the application?

First I need to know if my visa will be approved, then I plan my trip. It's a common sense.

I'll be applying workcation from my home country in case it matters.

The user manual.pdf from their website mark accomodation and flight as mandatory, but the examples are for different visas, such as tourist and diplomatic visa.

Any clarification would be helpful.

Thank you

Do I need to show a booked flight to Thailand when applying for DTV?

I'm planning to apply this week but my flight booking will not be for two months and I'm not sure when travel time will be or what country i will be in when I decide to travel to Thailand.

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask, when applying for the DTV visa, are you suppose to have booked your flight and accommodation before hand?

hello friends, I will apply for a tourist visa at the Thai embassy. For flight tickets to Thailand, does it have to be 2 weeks before applying for a visa? I will apply for a tourist visa tomorrow and my departure ticket to Thailand on July 20th. is that okay?

Thank you

Hi guys,

Thanks for accepting me to the group and for such a helpful site. Apologies if this scenario has been dealt with previously…

My husband and I are UK citizens and arrived on the 30 day exemption visa on 5th April. Our circumstances have now changed and we’re now able (visa permitting) to continue travelling in Thailand until July. Therefore we’d ideally like to extend for up to three months.

We’ve started looking at whether it’s possible to do this on line but we’re not getting very far. The theme of the posts I’ve read on here seem to suggest the immigration office being best but I’d really appreciate any information you’re able to share please on how to navigate this.

Specifically:

- can we extend for three months in one go or does it need to be in 30 day chucks (and if only 30 day chunks, are we able to do that more than once)

- do we need to have our departing flights booked

- do we need to have proof of accommodation for the duration (which would be difficult given our intention to travel around)

Many thanks in advance 😊

Entering on a 30 day visa exemption has anyone gotten away with having your "flight out" be 60 days from arrival (with planned extension)? I actually do need a flight at that time and will be booking it. Do I also need to have a booking for within the 30 days?

I know officially the answer is Yes, but any experience with the 60 day being okay?

Anyone with experience boarding AirAsia with a 60 day departure on a 30 day exemption - please comment!
