TLDR : Answer Summary

As a DTV visa holder, you do not need to purchase an additional outbound plane ticket. Holders of this visa can enter Thailand with a one-way ticket, as it allows for long-term stays without requiring an outbound flight.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

No need for outbound ticket, it's a quasi long stay 5 year visa giving 180 days entry on arrival.

You're supposed to be allowed to enter on one way tickets. I'm travelling to Thailand next Tuesday with a one way ticket. I'll tell you later (DTV holder).

Anonymous participant It could be airlines do not have up to date information in their systems. It is often out of date or wrong anyway. Some guy Googles and updates the information the check in clerks look at.
