Can I travel to Thailand on a single flight ticket with a UK passport?

@Mick *******

agree depends on the airline

@Mick *******

no need to ask the carrier, they'll always say that it is required. They just don't always check.

@Will ********

it's not dropped. Quite the contrary: unlike before, we hear from people here who are getting asked to show it. What got dropped is the limit on two land border entries per calendar year.

@Sean ****

well thought but unfortunately this won't work. You cannot do online check-in if you need a document check, which you need it you fly on a single ticket.

@Bill *******

Sorry to hear that Bill. Sounds like it may have been better to write it off, and book with someone else.

@Justin *****

I changed my flight with QA and they only had Econ+ available, so I paid 1800 usd extra for the seats and then got a bill on cc for 400$ change fee......

normally immigration do not ask to see a return ticket. However they do record your flight number and they will write that in ink on your arrival visa stamp in your passport. If you exit within that visa stamp - or get an extension and exit within the extension, then it is normal. The point here is to ensure that you exit the kingdom before your visa expires. If you do, then there is no issue that you used single entry tickets. The problems start when you exit then renter frequently and repeatedly then the question of return tickets will definitely be raised. As for the airlines, no, I don’t think they would be interested to ensure that you have a return ticket. Because you’re responsible for your visa status and you may well convert the initial visa to a type of non immigrant visa. If the immigration asks you for return and you fail to produce a return ticket then they will allow you entry but it will be recorded in their system as such. However it doesn’t matter unless you overstay. It’s best not to risk it though. Shop around some airlines have deals and some months are better than others.

I go to my condo and when I need to go back I just book my flight

your talking rubbish I go to thailand 3 times a year apart from first iv never hada return flight

@John ******

they may have said you didn't need to buy an additional ticket and interpreted your story as that you were in possession of a bus ticket to Cambodia. Airlines are not different in onward ticket requirements - it's not their policy, it's the Thai authorities policy that they do a pre-check for. And they're required to do that.

nothing to do with the airline

@Leo *********

They wont ask if you've booked a round trip. Im always asked by Emirates with a one way ticket from LHR.

@Gary ********

We told Lufthansa that and was denied boarding so had to quickly book an onward flight, so I would definitely check with the airline...

@Steve *****

This is why there there are so many contradictory answers on these forums. Some are asked others are not. Flip a coin. Heads you will be tails you won’t. Or, is it the other way around. I forget.

@Steve *****

maybe

@Randall ********

"they asked for mine." - who did where and when??

@Stuart ********

Hello Stuart,

On my last recent trip I didn't know how long I wanted to stay so bought a one way ticket and a 60 day visa even though 60 day visa exempt has just started. I wasn't asked about an onward ticket, but do you think some airline might refuse if queried?
