thanks for replying. Much appreciatedAndreas *********
you seem not to hold a Non-Imm-O "visa" any more, but you are on a "1-year extension of stay permit" based on retirement. You have a "stay permit", not a "visa". Well it doesn't make any difference, you can fly one-way to Thailand, there is no need to show any onward travel proof to the airline that flies you to Thailand

OPThanks for the clarification. Yes. You are right. This is my first full time year here and admit I find the terminology a little confusing.

@Chris ********
it's the Immigration who confuses "visa" with "stay permit". They don't make any difference between the actually two technically different things. Immigration talks about "extending the visa" although they are just extending stay permits. The visa you entered with, has been made invalid upon entry, there is nothing left of said visa that can be extendedChris *********
OPThank you🙂

Long term visas like a Non O do not require an onward or return ticket. If asked for one at check-in then ask to speak to a supervisor.
