Has anyone had any problem arriving in Thailand with a 90 days return ticket and having TR visa?Asking as I have been hard questioned about it in Madrid by a few carrier managers.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the experiences of travelers arriving in Thailand with a TR (Tourist) visa and a return ticket valid for 90 days. Many users share that they faced no issues boarding their flights without a return ticket, indicating that the airline's policies vary. Users from Brisbane and Sydney noted that no firm rule required them to present a return ticket when flying with Thai Airways and other carriers. Additionally, it's mentioned that different rules may apply based on the country of departure, stressing the importance of checking local consulate requirements for travel plans.

I had 60 day TR from Sydney one way ticket.

Advice from Embassy in Canberra return ticket not required

It looks like different countries may have different rules.But as far as Australia goes no return ticket required for 60 day TR Visa.

I only purchased 60 days insurance and everything was sweet
Lee *******
The Embassy website has a 2 page applcation to download and it took 2 minutes to do

The recquired documents for the 60 day tv are completely different between the Canberra and Sydney Consulates.

I wonder why they’re different?

The Canberra one doesn’t even ask for Covid insurance.

I know you need it for the Thai pass.

I also didnt write in return date

@Peter *******
correct but i did givee them mine anyway

What do you put here if you are traveling around?

Confirmed accommodation under the applicant’s name for the duration of intended stay in Thailand, after 14-day stay at Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) upon entry into Thailand.

@Peter *******
I put in my home address in Thailand.

If you are travelling around put in your hotel booking for AQ and any other booking you have and attach as well

@Lee ******
I live in Sydney. This was the form I got off the Thai Sydney Consul today and as you can see they stipulate 90 days insurance cover

@Peter *******
I can only tell you what I did buddy.

@Peter *******
I went to The Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra in person

@Lee ******
I’ll have a look at their requirements. I have heard they do sometimes differ.

Oh, and I’ve bought a fully flexible ticket with Jetstar. I wonder if they’ll ask to see a return flight
Lee *******
@Peter *******
who knows.

Thai Air dont because they understand about extensions and how it works in thailand
Peter ********
@Lee ******
But did they let you board your flight, without the return?

And which airline are you flying with?
Lee *******
Peter ********
This is why I’m asking
Lee *******
@Peter *******
it was never mentioned at any stage
Lee *******
@Peter *******
yes mate i flew last Thursday.

Thai Airways
Peter ********
@Lee ******
Did you get insurance for 60 or 90 days?

The reason I ask is for the 60 day tourist visa they tell you that you must be covered for 90 days
Lee *******
@Peter *******
you only get stamped in for 60 days.

I got 60 days
Peter ********
@Lee ******
Which insurance did you go with?

If you made it here your troubles were left at the boarding gate.

No I didnt have a problem .

I had a TR60 visa and had a return ticket for 90days ... From Sydney, Australia

If you're able to board your plane, you're most likely going to be able to enter the country. The airlines are the biggest impediment when you don't have onward travel within the original days of your Visa.

But strictly speaking, you can be refused entry into Thailand without this.

They had no problem with my return ticket but they didn’t understand why the length of 90 days when 30 days allowed.They actually told me that I’m suppose to get 45 days on arrival instead of 30.Let’s see.

@Oscar *******
They are running on 6 week old information. 45 day exempt entry ended October 1st.

@Oscar *******
The 45 days thing ended months ago

Ok,I just saw last week a German lady get a 45 days arriving in Bangkok,just with the Thai Pass but I probably got it wrong.

@Oscar *******
the 45 days exemption scheme officially ended on September 30. 1st of October it reversed back to the usual 30 days.
