Hi. Most people here are asking about documents related to things like work. I have a different question – flights. Every 1.5-2 months, due to personal matters, I'll need to return to my home country for about a week. So, I need a long-term visa, but my stay in Thailand won't exceed 80/90 days. When applying for a visa, I'm asked to provide a return flight. I have few questions:

1) What if I don't have a return flight yet? I plan to move to Thailand permanently in February next year and have a one-way flight.

2) Does my departure from Thailand have to be a return flight to my home country in Europe, or can it even be to a nearby country in Asia? What if I don't use that flight?

3) What if I buy a return flight and it will be for about two months after my arrival date? Will they still consider me a DTV, or will they force me to apply for a different type of visa?

Which flight did you put into the form? Did they want any confirmation of booking?

Hi guys,

I am filling in my TDAC right now. I am coming back from the UK as I live on Koh Phangan but it's asking me for a return journey details. Do I have to have a return flight even tho I'm not leaving and will be staying in Thailand? I've lived there 5 years now, coming back as a tourist and will then obtain an elite visa, as my non O visa expired

Thanks for any help 😊🙏🏽

I just realised my Return Flight is 92 days after arriving 12/6 leave 12/09. I am planning to go to Vietnam at some stage maybe early August. As the Vietnam trip isnt planned am i going to have issues on Thursday.

I am Vietnamese and want to apply DTV visa, but I heard that if you are Vietnamese or Asian, you will be difficult to entrance Thailand without the flight back even you got a DTV.

Does some has the same issue? Please share! Thanks

I think we have to enter our return flight back to Thailand in the DTV application, is that correct? Here's my question... Since the expected processing time will vary and I haven't received an answer yet, I may need to change my flight to a different day. But does that matter, if my departure flight date I enter on the application ends up being past the approval date and I end up flying back on a later date?

When you arrive with a TR visa do you still need to show proof of return flight etc?

Hi.Im flying to Bkk in two weeks on visa exemption for 45 days and will get 30 day extension. Then I will go to Laos or Cambodia and later return.Will there be any problems at BKK airport?

Entering in thai with Visa exemption but return flight date in 55days.. So do i need to show an exiting flight within 30th day of stay? and just one way is enough? Tia

Just left CW. Iam on tourist visa and this was ia my 5th covid extension. Not many people waiting and staff came out checked my stamps and said been here long time and thailand is open. Asked for a return flight home and i had that ready. I managed to get my covid extension. However, i saw all staff asking for return flight back. Please be prepared for this. Some were busy buying flights straight away.

Upon entering the building if askes for recent atk and vaccine. Its ok if you dont have as just fill in form without evidence.
