When I enter Thailand with my DTV do I need to show a departure flight?
Answer summary
When entering Thailand with a DTV visa, it is generally not required to show a departure flight. Many users have stated that they were not asked for return flight details, and it is not listed as an official requirement. However, there are a few reports of airlines potentially asking for a return ticket before allowing boarding, but this seems to be rare. It is advisable to register your DTV on the TDAC website and print the visa for immigration to avoid entry issues.

No. Never have been asked and it‘s not written anywhere official to provide when entering Thailand on DTV.

No. And also you must register entry into Thailand on the TDAC website. You register your DTV number in TDAC and you do not enter departure details. immigration know as soon as they scan your passport that you are a DTV holder, with up to 180 days stay. You still must show them the printout of your visa for avoidance of IO error on your entry stamp. Before you leave the immigration kiosk check you have the 180 stamp. Mistakes are made by immigration officials and is much easier to get it put right with the IO immediately

No. It is not a requirement for DTV. The exit date field on the DTAC form is not compulsory, so leave it blank. If you click in that field by mistake it the forces you to enter a date so just enter a random one.
