FILIPINO DTV Holders

Are there any other Filipino DTV holders here? Just wondering for latest update. Do you have a return ticket that you present for the PH IO? Can I just book one way? Thanks!

Hey all, I recently applied for a 60 day tourist e-visa from Penang, Malaysia, with a 5-6 week gap from my last time in Thailand. I supplied my back statement which showed more than double of what is required (20k THB), hotel booking, Malaysian entry stamp in the passport and biometrics etc, they have emailed me today asking for every single page in my passport, 3 months bank statement and 'proper travel booking confirmation'- unsure what that is, is it proof of return or onward ticket or ticket into Thailand? I won't book a ticket until my visa is confirmed. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I have a few visa exceptions from last year already and wondering if this might be a factor and a good reason for rejection.

For everyone asking whether a return ticket is mandatory: I have my DTV, and the lady at the front desk asked for my passport, my visa and my return ticket an hour ago. Luckily, I had booked one with Onward Ticket — it cost €16 and I was all set 👌

See you in Thailand

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.

I've been out the loop of visas for a few years.

1. Is this still the case with visa-exemption stamps?

- By land, 2 per calendar year

- 20,000฿ in cash

- Need return ticket

2. Can the return ticket be to Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. (rather than home country)?

Hi guys I have my 3month retirement visa from Thai embassy in London. I will arrive in Thailand on 2 June this year. I have a one way ticket Norwich Amsterdam Bangkok . I spoke to KLM and asked them if I need a return ticket, there answer was speak to the Thai embassy it’s nothing to do with us . I asked will I be denied boarding if I only have a one way ticket, again she said speak to the Thai embassy. So guys I am asking you, what’s your thoughts. Thanks in advance

If I'm going to Laos, especially if it's to apply for a DTV visa, can I just go by bus? To get a visa on entry, they say one needs to have a return ticket already booked, and the same goes for the Thai embassy in Laos when applying for DTV.

My question: can this return ticket simply be a return bus ticket? Or does it necessarily have to be a plane ticket? And if so, please explain why. I need answers from people who have a clear answer from someone who knows, not someone who's just guessing and think they know.

Thanks!

Hello there 😊.

I am flying back to Bangkok tomorrow. Do I need to show a return ticket if the airline asks for it? I already have my e-boarding pass, so I shouldn’t have to interact with them, but I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks!
