ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone. Has anyone flown with their dtv from Heathrow with Emirates on a 1 way flight recently? Flying over Monday and not sure if they will say I need a flight out within the 180 day stamp I'll get. (Planning to stay 8 month) cheers

TLDR : Answer Summary

Travelers flying from the UK to Thailand on a one-way ticket with a DTV visa (Digital Nomad Visa) have reported no issues at the airline check-in or upon arrival. It is advised to carry a printed PDF of the DTV visa and to be polite but firm if questioned about a return ticket. Several users have shared successful experiences traveling with Emirates and Thai Airways without returning tickets.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

You shouldn't need a return ticket. Be polite but firm with the airline, and show them the DTV printed PDF file. When I traveled as tourist last time, from Korea, nobody asked me anything, neither in Korea neither in Thailand (normally they ask like "when are you coming back? or Are you coming back?") It was on Air Asia, if that matters. Said so, I'm going next week with Thai Airways on a one-way ticket, this time with a DTV.

Elías Molina You flying from London with Thai Airways? I always get questioned with them returning to Tokyo on one way tickets, even though I have a working visa in Japan.
