TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about booking flight tickets for a trip to Thailand on a student visa. There are mixed responses regarding the necessity of a return ticket, with one comment suggesting that a one-way ticket might be acceptable if the visa has been obtained beforehand, while another warns that airlines usually require a return ticket due to visa expiration dates.

Area *************

Les compagnies aériennes en majorité vous demanderont le billet retour correspondant à la date limite de votre visa. Attention contrairement à la personne qui vous dit que ça devrait passer vous risquez un refus d'embarquement et un billet perdu 😐

If you have a non-ED visa that you purchased from a Thai embassy before you travel, a one-way ticket should be fine.
