Can I enter Thailand on a one-way ticket if applying for a retirement visa?

@Gerald *******

that’s what this service is. As you said you can’t fly on it. It’s fraud and hopefully they crack down on you people attempting scams against the Kingdom of Thailand

@Mike *******

you can put any flight arrival and departure date in that is on one of the flight co pany schedules. You don't need to book the flights just put down the flight numbers

@Mike *******

and be aware: when you enter on a Non-Imm-O visa, the opening of a bank account is easy, can be done by yourself, or by an agent for 5000 THB. When you enter on a visa-exempt or tourist visa, you cannot open a bank account any more since February, when banking rules have tightened. Some agents have deals with Immigration to circumvene this, and banks that are willing to cooperate. But this will cost you a sh.... load of dosh

@Nongnuch *******

but it is valid for 48-72hrs. I.e. the reservation can be used to secure an actual ticket. Long enough to satisfy airline requirements for onward travel.

@Tony *********

wrong, a cheap "onwardticket" is just a ticket "reservation", and it is blocking the ETIX system of the airlines. Many airlines hate this thing

@Nongnuch *******

onward ticket is a real ticket for 48 or 72hrs....

@Mike *******

When flying one way on a 60-days tourist visa, or planning to enter visa-exempt and get stamped in for 60 days, be aware that the airline CAN ask you for a proof of onward travel out of Thailand within these 60 days. You can risk to buy a "onwardticket" or better a REAL flight ticket, one-way Air Aisa to Siem Reap is something around 40 USD. Flying one-way on a 90-Days Non-Imm-O Visa, doesn't require this proof, because this visa normally is used to gain a 12-year stay permit inside Thailand

@Mike *******

if you have difficulty filling out the form, you can ask questions here. There's only about 5 questions and 4 documents you'll need to supply... Not very difficult. Maybe difficult for a YouTuber though.
