Can you book a one-way ticket with an OA visa for Thailand?
Anyone know if you can book a one way ticket with Ethihad on OA visa Thanks
Answer summary
Yes, you can book a one-way ticket with an OA visa for entering Thailand. Multiple comments confirm that OA visa holders do not require an onward ticket out of Thailand, as this visa type allows for long-term stay. Airlines like Etihad also accept one-way bookings, provided the visa has been approved.

When you apply visa and they approve it with the oneway ticket of course it's ok. Why they give a visa if it's not!!! Done it many times with TR visa too.Lisa ********************

An OA visa is a long term visa entry to Thailand. You do not need a onward ticket out from Thailand for that

if I am coming to Thailand on a 30 day visa and plan to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand I need a return flight ticket to Australia even though I won’t use it… is that right ? Thanks

Strictly legally speaking, in theory: yes, onward required. Practically at the Thai border nobody will check. Bigger issue might be your airline, who possibly requires it. If I’m doubt book a fully refundable ticket to somewhere or something.Activity
