ORIGINAL POSTER

I just received my DTV! Will I need to show proof of onward travel when entering Thailand with this visa? 

It's a multiple entry visa with 6 month stay. Can be extended for an additional 6 months. 

TIA!

No, a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is not a tourist visa. It's specifically designed for individuals intending to travel to Thailand for purposes such as work, study, or other long-term stays, rather than for tourism. If you're looking for a tourist visa, you would typically apply for a different type of visa specifically meant for short-term visits.
