Hi everyone!🙋♀️ We are moving to koh Samui next year. Entering on a 90day entry visa. My question: When initial entry application do we have to book a return flight or can we book just flight into Thailand?
Thanks in advance. Linda Swartz Pretorius
Answer summary
A user is moving to Koh Samui and inquires whether it is necessary to book a return flight when applying for a 90-day entry visa. Comments clarify that for a non-immigrant visa, a one-way flight may suffice, while a tourist visa typically requires proof of onward travel within the visa's duration. It is noted that Thai officials rarely check for exit tickets, although airlines may enforce this rule.

If you are on a Tourist visa, a trip out of Thailand is required within the length of your Visa. I'm assuming 60 days + 30 day extension. So a ticket required within 60 days. You can book a cheap flight to Cambodia or Vietnam for around $50. There are other options . As often mentioned, Thai officers rarely ask for exit ticket. I've been asked maybe once, in many trips. However, airline gate personnel have asked me for an exit ticket on a few occasions. I recall one airline person actually counting the days on her fingers.
