ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello everyone, I'm working on my DTV visa. I have a question for the experienced among us. When entering Thailand, were you asked to show a ticket for a flight out of Thailand? I'm debating whether to close a ticket when I don't know when I'll be leaving Thailand during the year.😊

TLDR : Answer Summary
Many users shared their experiences regarding the necessity of showing an outbound flight ticket when entering Thailand with a DTV visa. Most comments indicated that no outbound ticket was required by immigration authorities upon arrival, though some mentioned that airline policies might require one before boarding. Overall, it seems that for the DTV visa, which allows a 180-day stay per entry, presenting an outbound ticket is not a common requirement.

No not entering with a DTV because you can stay 180 days per entry during your 5 year visa validity. No one would book an exit ticket so far in advance, you might need to go in weeks, a month of 5 months time🤷🏾‍♀️

I have a DTV. When I entered Thailand, I wasn't asked for an outbound flight ticket, neither in Thailand nor in my home country (from where I left).
