Hi! Just wondering if anyone returj flight is needed when coming out to Thailand with the DTV visa? I've not seen this anywhere but a friend who lives in Thailand said they needed a return flight to their home incase they get rejected and have to go back?

If anyone can help that would be much appreciated

TLDR : Answer Summary

Many users confirm that a return flight is not required when entering Thailand with a DTV visa. While some airlines may inquire about a return ticket, immigration authorities typically do not ask for it. A one-way ticket is generally accepted for DTV visa holders.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Should not need one. Immigration will not ask. Airline might as they do not know enough about the DTV but it is not usual.

You don't need a return flight with DTV it's 180 days for 5 years. One way ticket is ok
