Do I need to show a flight ticket when entering Thailand with a DTV visa?

DTV Visa Thailand Immigration Visa Requirements Long-term Visa Travel Tips

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

When entering Thailand on a DTV visa, travelers are not required to present a flight ticket for departure. Contributors confirm their experiences with the DTV visa, stating that it is a long-term multi-entry visa, and no exit ticket is needed upon entry.

I have never had this happen, I have had the DTV for one year and have left the country at least 4 times since then.

No return ticket required it's a multi entry 5 year visa. It's not a 69 day visa exempt. There are other conditions to having a long term visa you should make yourself aware of
