ORIGINAL POSTER

Edited: Thanks all for your sharing your experience. The entry went well for me too and was not for the returns ticketed:)

I’m flying to Ho Chi Min for DTV application. I haven’t bought the returned ticket to Thailand as I want to buy it after my visa has been granted. 

Would there be any issue at the immigration (Ho Chi Min?

Thanks for sharing your experience.
