Is a return flight required on the TDAC with a DTV? I had been in the country on a DTV prior to that taking effect. I've just returned to the US and will be going back to Thailand next month. I saw it was not a required field on the form but wasn't sure if anyone had problems with just a one way ticket.

Thanks everybody for the information.
Answer summary
The user inquired whether a return flight is necessary when applying for a TDAC with a DTV. While the application form did not specify it as a required field, comments indicate mixed experiences. One person reported that the London Embassy requested proof of an onward flight, while another confirmed that a return flight is not necessary.

I applied via the London Embassy just over a month ago and one of their follow up questions asked for proof of a flight out before the end of the 6 month period. I booked a cheap one to Vietnam and uploaded the details and they accepted it.
