Do you need an exit ticket when entering Thailand on a DTV?

Jun 4, 2025

Do you need to have a ticket out of the country when you're on a DTV and going through customs? I've always had a ticket out of Thailand for one reason or another when coming into the country but the next time I come in I won't need a ticket out for any reason (even though if history is any indication I'll be leaving the country sometime before 180 days is up)..if I do need one I know I can always get a cheap one-way to HAN on TG when I need it.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), it is not necessary to have a ticket out of the country, according to various comments from the community. While immigration does not require it, some users advise being cautious with airline staff, who may have different policies. Generally, carrying a dummy ticket can help avoid any potential issues.
