Is a return ticket mandatory when traveling to Thailand with a DTV visa?

Lol I had zero issues re-entering via airport the same day I flew out the country to Malaysia. Literally zero, she stamped my passport, I asked to make sure it was 6 months and that was that. My process was...

1) filled out the tdac online including my visa number

2) took 20k baht cash with me just in case they asked. They didn't ask.

3) passed them my Dtv visa document and my passport and that was all that was needed.

Malaysia didn't even stamp my passport as its all digital there now which worries me but seemed immigration didn't care. They also didn't ask any questions or care how long ide left the country for due to being on Dtv.

Of course people's experiences will differ. My advice is always take more than you think youl need so nothing can go wrong if they ask for stuff but a return ticket makes no sense on a 6 month entry

Thai immigration has never asked me for an onward ticket with the DTV or visa exempt.

Before my first DTV flight last year, I was ready to do a quick OnwardTicket booking, but first I wanted to see how it will go, at the end - it's not really neededed, as expected:

Turkish Airlines worker saw the visa and asked for a return flight, I told them that my visa is 5 years multiple entry, they looked at it again, and said 'No need then' :)

Flew in 4-5 times after that, can't remember if some asked again, but there was no any problem.

On arrival Thai immigration didn't ask for return flight, only how long I'm staying, I say a month or two... Seen some reports where they ask for return flight ticket, not sure is it real or not, but I'm ready to book it on the spot if it ever happens.

Take the email the embassy sent you. Should say 5 years visa or similar.

Tell them that you live in Thailand and you are returning home 🏡

I’ve never been asked for a return ticket

It's not mandatory show them you DTV visa you might also need to explain It's a long term visa.

What where 😲

Fear mongering crap

I got asked that at check in Ho Chi Minh. My hotel and flight out bookings, i said i had a visa, showed it to her (she took a picture of it), handed me my boarding pass. You don't need an onward flight when you have the visa.

say land crossing later works too

Obviously the airline check-in staff was in error. When that happens ask to see a Supervisor.

You do not NEED a return ticket for a DTV. I was also asked by the airline agent for a return ticket but told her I had a DTV and after she reviewed it, she said I didn’t need one

Posts like this are worse than useless. What ‘front desk’? Airline check in? Which country? Which airline? What passport?
