Can I use a visa on arrival to bridge the gap before applying for a long-term visa in Thailand?
We have one way tickets to BKK on Aug 1st. I easily qualify for the new long term 10 year visa working from Thailand that starts Sept 2022. Can we use an visa on arrival to bridge the gap? Family of four with US passports.
Answer summary
A family of four holding US passports is planning to travel to Bangkok on August 1st with one-way tickets and is inquiring about using a visa on arrival before applying for a long-term visa that is expected to become available in September 2022. There are concerns about the lack of official details on the new visa and the necessity of showing evidence of onward travel when entering Thailand on a one-way ticket.

The new visas have no details about them yet. They aren't even close to official at this point.
Also you'll need to show that you have travel out of Thailand if you arrive on a one way ticket with a short term entry.

To use a bus ticket it must be an international route. You can’t have a ticket to a border town where you’d be able to walk across a border. Not all airlines will accept such ticket (although they should).

I found Hat Yai to Penang the cheapest. Although I am not sure that border crossing is open. 12go.asia is your friend.Activity
