Hello everyone. I have a single-entry tourist visa for Thailand. As I understand it, this visa allows me to stay for 60 days.

My arrival date is 27 June, and my departure date is 29 August, which means I plan to stay for 63 days. I already have a confirmed return/onward ticket.

My question is: could the airline refuse to let me board because my planned stay is 63 days, even though I hold a tourist visa?

The visa itself does not state the length of stay. It only says that I can use the visa to enter Thailand between the date it was issued and 30 August.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Thank you.

Answer summary

The user is concerned about being able to board their flight to Thailand with a single-entry tourist visa, given that their intended stay of 63 days exceeds the 60-day limit typically allowed under this visa type. They seek confirmation on whether the airline could deny boarding due to this extra 3-day stay despite having a valid visa and a confirmed return ticket.
