TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the necessity of presenting a forwarding flight out of Vietnam while applying for a DTV visa. Community responses indicate that an outbound flight is not required for the DTV application. It is advised that applicants refrain from purchasing a flight back to Thailand until the visa is approved due to potential delays in processing.

You don’t need an outbound flight for Vietnam visa either

Do NOT buy a flight back to Thailand until you have the visa, since you don’t know how long the visa processing will take, especially if additional documents are asked for ( which resets the clock to zero) of an interview is requested.

Changeable tickets may be so much more expensive that it will cost to much

you don't need to show an outbound flight booking for the DTV application. Just choose an intended date.
