Hey guys! Quick DTV (Soft Skills) question:

Do I actually need a return or onward ticket to enter Thailand on a DTV, or is it not required? I’ve been hearing conflicting info about airlines or border control asking for one.

Also, has anyone used Best Onward Ticket for this? Did it work fine at check-in/immigration?

Thanks for any help!👐

Answer summary

Entering Thailand on a DTV visa generally doesn't require a return or onward ticket. However, travelers should have accommodation arranged and carry a sufficient amount of cash (around 20,000 baht or equivalent). Some users have reported success using services like onwardticket.com, but it's advisable to book such tickets close to your travel date, as they may not be valid for a long time.

I've used onwardticket dot com and it worked, but the ticket is not valid for long, so book it just before you fly. Every time I show my visa at check-in, they withdraw the request for an onward flight.

You shouldn't need one, but you should have accommodation and carry 20k baht or equivalent in cash
