For those that have been approved for DTV. What did you put for your “flight number” and “accommodation in Thailand” if you had no flight/accommodations schedule!?

(UK) Travel information question on the DTV application for soft power

For intended date of arrival, I have a flight booked from the UK on 7th April, stopping in China for 1hr 40 mins, and I land In Bangkok on the 8th April

So I will write intended date of arrival as 8th of April on my application.

For intended date of departure- I don’t have a outbound flight booked yet. I was going to

Book that once I had confirmation of the DTV or not (I’ll still take the flight regardless of the outcome)

So I was going to write intended date of departure 24th September 2026 (170 days) ?

For the last port of embarkation - I should choose China, correct? As I stop there to change flight for Thailand.

I need to pull up my flight info for my flight number.

Lastly - accommodation in Thailand

How much detail did you all give for this? I haven’t booked anywhere to stay yet. Could

I write the address of a place I MIGHT stay at, for the applications sake? And maybe just write duration of stay ~ 7 days or 10 days or something?

My girlfriend is Thai and she has a condo in Bangkok so should I also include this on the accommodation and duration of stay ? As I would also stay with her - or is there no need, and I don’t need to give this much information, unless they request it

TDAC: Country I boarded and flight number …. Spain or my Layover France? 🙏

Hi , I'm filling up the details for a non O retirement visa at the Brussels Embassy. Now I have to give in my flight number. I haven't booked a flight yet because I'm not sure if I can come in with a onward flight. Or do I have to book a return flight? Why would I need a return flight if I want to stay there? Thank you for support.

More questions... Through the USA (Chicago consulate) I finally began filling out the online application for a non O visa (50+) but was surprised to see that I need to enter information for a return flight. I recall reading in this group that a return flight is not required for a non O retirement visa. Since I do not plan to leave Thailand at the end of the 90 days I really don't have a departure date. Do I need to book two one way flights with the return flight having an option to cancel or modify the date? I also see I need to enter a flight number in order to proceed with the application so I assume I can enter only the arrival flight? I recently read that somebody had their application denied because they failed to enter their middle initial. I definitely do NOT want to make ANY mistakes.

Thanks to all who offer good advice.

Is the flight information on the DTV visa completely arbitrary?

Do people by a refundable ticket to apply for the visa? It's labeled as 'Intended date of arrival' yet asking for the exact flight number?

Also is a two week hotel stay sufficient for the application? My plan is to get there and look for a condo.

I am filling the DTV application form and not sure how to fill the duration of stay. I plan to stay at least 1 year but the visa only allows up to 180 days per entry. Should I limit the number of days to 180 or would be fine if the number of days is much longer? Also there is a section to add flight numbers. I'm not booking flights until the visa is granted. Any help/suggestion on how to fill this sections is really appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi. And apologies for this. But I am getting conflicting info on line.

A question on the TDAC form please. I board my flight in Dublin Ireland. I transfer to a new flight in Abu Dhabi ( connecting flight) and arrive in Bangkok

Form needs country from which I boarded ? Is this Dublin Ireland or is it UAE?

Also wants flight number. Is the Dublin to Abu Dhabi or Abu Dhabi to bkk ?

Many thanks for the help

Greetings.

TDAC Questions:

1. When I fill in the Country/Territory where you boarded field, do I put the country I'm departing from or the last country I'm arriving from in Thailand (since I have a connecting flight)?

2. Related to that, the flight number field is the one from the country I'm leaving from or the last flight I'm taking to Thailand?

3. In the visa number field, do I put the number of the last visa extension (Non O visa extension based on marriage), or the visa number that is from two years ago, a sticker from Laos (btw, the extension is on that visa)?

Thank you.
