Hello all! Pete in Seattle here. My wife and I will be applying for the Soft DTV Visa in the next few weeks. We are getting acquainted with some of the requirements. Here are two questions that we are a bit confused with:

1. Provide 1 way flight E ticket. Since we are selling g our house, we are unsure of the actual date we will travel. Any hints on how to proceed?

2. Proof of prolonged residence for at least 6 months. This seems odd. Our initial plan was to find an Air BNB for a month while we search for a condo to rent. If I read this correctly, do we need to book an Air BNB or rent a condo sight unseen for 6 months? This is confusing.

Any help you guys can provide would be great! Thnx in advance.

Pete and Cathy in Seattle..

Hi fellas..

I have question.

For apply dtv need show also flight tickets for Thailand and also for go out ?!?

I ask because for now don't know if try apply when I'm back in my country or in kuala Lumpur!

🙏 Krap

Hi, so I finally received a reply from London Embassy regarding DTV application questions and I’m just wondering if anyone can advise whether or not they had to provide actual flights tickets or similar confirmation as per the below?

“Flight details (e-ticket issued directly by the airline), showing your name, departure date, and full itinerary from the UK/Ireland to Thailand, including onward travel (if any)”

I never understood this to be honest because if I don’t get DTV I’ll just travel as a tourist and book a return flight for 90 days, but if I do get DTV I’ll book a return flight for 180 days. Surely this condition would be more relevant if the visa was actually approved first because changing the return flight costs money and I’d rather know the visa application status before booking!

They asking for confirmed accomodation for the duration of intended stay.

During the application i selected 165 days of stay.

Do i need to book a hotel now for 165 days ?

Another question:

At the application process they asking for flight ticket. I booked a 'ticket' via onwardticket website.

Now they asking me for confirmed airline ticket. Can i now book a different flight ? Or do i need to book the flight i provided (onwardticket).

I come to Thailand each year. Next year I want to spend 3 months there in the Australian winter. This year I investigated extending my stay but changed my mind when the cost of changing the date of my return ticket was $AUD680, much more than half the total cost. Next visit I intend to stay 2 months visa free then extend a month. What are the best options for an outward/return ticket? It's obviously financially punitive to change the date and I assume that if I am asked to show an outward flight, a return ticket dated 3 months from arrival would not be accepted. There is always the option to buy a cheap throwaway ticket (if such now exists) to KL or a refundable one. Any thoughts on the best option?

Hello all, are confirmed flight tickets required to apply? and do they ask for a return flight ticket as well? or would an Itinerary suffice?

Tickets to Thailand is 3 times of the tickets to Spain from America, 17 hours vs 10 hours, why? Looks like only Turkish airlines fly to Thailand

For Americans that applied for the DTV in the USA, did you have to show a plane ticket and intended place to stay ? The LA consulate lists neither as a requirement and it says you can use the visa whenever you want.

But did they make you show a plane ticket and place to stay in Thailand or no ?

How months of bank statements did they want ?

Because when you apply it says don’t apply more than 3 months before intend stay.

Hello! Advice please.... heading over from uk, would like to visit different countries in SE Asia but cannot pin down a set itinerary in advance and would like to be able to stay a little longer in places that I like or move on if I want to. Is it possible to buy a one way ticket into Thailand with a flight out of Thailand within 60 days and nothing further. I would then purchase return ticket or onward ticket as and when I decide? Any advice greatly appreciated. 👍😊

hello

Are tickets from Thailand to France cheaper in Thailand?

If I take one way ticket to Bkk and rebook one way ticket to Hanoi or luang prabang, no concern about boarding paris and immigration to Bkk?

Thank you for seeing two answers 🙂

Bonjour

Les billets de Thailande pour la France sont ils moins chers en Thaïlande ?

Si je prends un billet aller pour Bkk et que je reprends un billet aller pour Hanoï ou luang prabang, pas de souci à l'embarquement de paris et à l'immigration à Bkk ?

Merci pour vis deux réponses 🙂
