I'm going to Hanoi on Tuesday to apply for DTV, and since I'm not sure how long I'll stay there (depends how long they are going to make me wait for getting the work done), I didn't book a return ticket to TH. Could it be a problem at Vietnamese immigration when entering the country Tuesday ? How did you guys manage that part ?

Thanks.

Would I need to have a return ticket to be able to board the plane having applied for and got an immigrant none O visa (90 days) from London?

Hi everyone, quick question - do I need to show a return ticket, when I enter Thailand on the DTV?

Thanks

My first time I Plan to Travel from US to Thailand on 60 day & do an Extension for 90 days total.

My Question is would there be an issue if I book my return flight for 90 days instead of the regular 60 day?

Would immigration give me issues or denied entry if my return ticket is 90 days?

Do I need return ticket when I enter first time DTV Thailand? Does the immigration ask to see return ticket?

First entry with DTV from Chennai to DMK. The immigration line literally was 1 hour+ of standing in queue, but the process once I got to the counter was smooth af. The officer saw my DTV printout and didn’t ask a single question, just stamped for 6 months and said “enjoy your DTV”

I overheard them asking almost every person before me how long they were staying and if they have a return ticket, but didn’t ask me any of that. Just leaving a report here from the ones possibly coming in from India and wondering if they’re stuck up about return tickets and accommodation etc

If I enter the country with a DTV visa, do I also have to show a return ticket?

Hello, today I’m applying for DTV. I’m in Bali now and will apply online via the Thai Embassy in Jakarta.

For intended stay in Thailand, is it okay if I choose 6 months?

Also, do I really need to book long term accomodation? Is a 1 week hotel booking enough? I’ll move to another place later anyway.

Do I also need a return ticket?

Thanks in advance!

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.

Just wondering, i joined a muay thai course starting in the middle of May till nov 2025. So on my intended day of arrival and departure in online dtv visa form , the total duration is about 185 days which is more than 180 days . Because the course starts from 20 may till middle of November. So should i book confirmed return tickets or dummy will do also . Also for how many days i need to book the hotel in my case.
