After chatting to a few people, it seems pretty much everyone did buy the ticket, however it doesn't look like this is a requirement on itself, as they are not requesting any document, only the flight number which can be found anywhere and is open to the public, what are your thoughts? I believe it's sound to not buy it before applying in case visa is rejected and you don't waste money (just in case).

I'm curious to know has anyone here successfully applied for this visa?

Hello everyone. I'm currently in the process of selling everything I own in the US and headed to Thailand. I'm looking forward to exploring SE Asia and finding a spot for my home base. I'm excited about getting rid of all the crap I've accumulated and exploring whole new worlds and cultures. I hope to meet some of you soon. I'm aiming to be in Thailand by mid-November...ideally earlier to avoid the US election shitshow LOL

Which of the following best describes where you are at right now? Feel free to elaborate in the comments.

#Fear, Anxiety and Doubt What is the worst that can happen? We as humans tend to magnify the good and bad, usually the worst case scenario of trying something new, is having to go back to the old. The point is, if you are someone that doesn't have any dependants, there is very little that can go wrong, take the leap, learn as you go.
