Can you use the Onward Ticket website to secure an onward flight for a non-immigrant O visa application in Thailand?

I didn't know that they actually purchased a ticket. I thought they created a dummy one based upon the variables you enter, and I thought the booking reference was a fictious one. I learn something new every day!

I’m from the US. Yea, we EXPECT visitors to follow the rules…how’s that working out for us???

@Tree ******

There's also a lot of misinformation too so it's important for people to identify misinformation and post on groups like this with the correct/current information

Not an attorney. I've just spent the last couple of years in these type of groups reading every post since Covid when I first wanted to travel to Thailand and I had to do a LOT of research back then.

gotcha, Tks, Brandon, are you a attorney? U seem to be very knowledgeable in matters of Thai visa’s.

@Mark *********

it's not like people are trying to stay forever. They still get an entry stamp that still requires them to leave. But some embassies don't recognize that you can apply for an extension so there's no other way to get your visa without spending an extra $1000 to purchase an extra exit ticket you won't use or purchasing a changeable (refundable price) ticket.

These websites basically purchase you a refundable ticket then cancel it after a couple of days. How is that any different from you doing this yourself. So you have a fully legal ticket and apply for your visa then cancel your ticket. It's literally the same thing you're just letting someone else deal with the airline for you. There's no fraud involved.

@Brandon ***********

I disagree but try if you want. You are committing fraud when you do and if caught the authorities have every right to deport you and ban you given you show no respect for their laws. Let me guess, you expect visitors in your home country to follow the rules, right?

I just Google "onward travel ticket" and browse the results until I find one that offers what I need at a price I'm okay with
