Can I enter Thailand on a one-way flight ticket and book a return flight later?

@Ben ********

i’ve been to Thailand several times in fact more than several times with Thai air and Eva and I’ve always been led to believe through my experience that you’ve got to have onward travel in your destination country or a return ticket within the validity of your Visa whether it’s an exempt or whatever, and they don’t take into consideration any extensions that you might get, think this is a legal requirement before they let you board

Put it this way if a Thai national was flying to the UK on the one-way ticket with a tourist visa how would that work out at the check in desk?

@Ben ********

thanks. It didn't make sense but does now🤦. As others have said, one way can be an issue but any ticket out should work: bus, cheap flights, etc

@Ben ********

if you travel to Thailand on short term visa or visa exemption the airline sometimes ask for return ticket to let you board. Officially its requirement.

Look up the “3 proofs” in this group

@Ben ********

your Air Flight Company may ask you about the return ticket within the visa time allowed and even don't let you board as they have some responsabilidades towards Thailand regulations and a return ticket on an exempt turist visa is a must, you maybe get away with it but very risky in my opinion!
