Hi everyone, on the 27th I'm entering Thailand in BKK with DTV, for the first time, I don't have an exit ticket from the country, could this be a problem? thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers entering Thailand with a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) are not required to have an exit ticket. Many users report having successfully entered Thailand without one, as long as they present their DTV at check-in. Some suggest using services like onwardticket.com to secure a legitimate reservation that won't require travel, which can ease airline concerns. Thai Airways, in particular, is noted for recognizing the DTV without problems.

The other alternative is to use the site onwardticket.com and you purchase a reservation code. This is worked for me 100% in many countries. It actually is a legitimate reservation but you don’t have to exercise it so in other words you’ll get a ticket reservation that shows up like a normal ticket you show the people at the airlines and then you’re all good. I just use this service a couple days ago called

it only cost 12 bucks. The other one I think is 18 and this one worked flawlessly also.

Fly with Thai airways and you won't have any problems. They know about DTV

Not an issue. Airline may ask how long you are planning to stay but once you show DTV at the counter it’s sorted. Airport Immigration doesn’t ask return ticket or any questions once you show DTV.

I entered on 11 April without return ticket.

The airline may have an issue if they do not understand the DTV. Show your DTV at check in and you should be fine when they realize it is a long-term visa. I have always entered on one-way tickets with the DTV with no probs and many others the same.
