Can I travel to Thailand on a one-way ticket with a 60-day tourist visa, and what insurance coverage do I need?

If you've had 2 covid jabs surely the insurance is cheaper ?

It's not "return flight" but rather 'onward travel'. The big difference is with onward travel you only need to show evidence of intention of leaving Thailand. When I came here from the USA the airline was an either/or deal. Have visa or onward travel.

Although it may not be on option now, I have always used bus tickets. Buy the bus ticket online print the the ticket and show that to anybody who asks (usually people at embassy when applying for visa)

Another option would be to come with no evidence of intention of onward travels. If you get stopped you can purchase a cheap ticket to anywhere. A quick google search show 1 way ticket to Singapore $60/USD.

Of course you will want to allow plenty of time at check-in to Thailand incase you need to make last minute arrangements.

I have done it 3 times with no issues or questions asked

These are pre-corvid solutions. Now? Different story because of the various new requirements by immigration. I'd research the situation carefully before going ahead with this - which doesn't include fb comments!

In theory you need 'onward travel'. It's rarely asked for by Thai Immigration but you may have some problems boarding your flight with out a return or onward travel within the validity of the visa, depending on the airline.

Priceline offers 24 hour free cancellation. You can book a flight, save the confirmation then cancel it.

im in the same boat, fyi you ususally cannot cancel or refund a return side of a roundtrip ticket….you could buy 2 oneways though and cancel the return when your ready? i may do that…..

You must have covid-19 insurance for as long as your visa is. In your case at least 60 days, whether you stay that long or not.

Not so simple.Now you must ask COE and have Covid insurance paid for entire stay paid before ...

Anything you want to know about insurance talk to this lady. She has helped hundreds of expats getting back to Thailand. And she represents all insurance companies, not just one

is the man for info on insurance

Flip a coin. Some have no issues, some get stopped at the checking in desk. Immigration don’t care, but your airline may insist you have a return or at least onward flight. Check with them first to make sure. I’ll let others with recent experience regards insurance requirements answer the second part of your question.
