Hey everyone, when I enter Thailand on visa exemption, I do need a return ticket within 30 days, right? Will a bus ticket to a neighbor country sufficient? Or do I need to have an air ticket which I gonna cancel most probably anyway as my exemption will be transferred into a non B within the first month (work starts and all is prepared) . Helpful advise on the topic would be great. Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand on a visa exemption, it's generally understood that you may need to show proof of onward travel, which could be a bus ticket to a neighboring country or an air ticket. While immigration officers may not consistently check this, airlines at check-in may ask for proof. Some users suggest that purchasing a tourist visa might be a better option to avoid dealing with onward travel proof. It's advised to check with your airline for their specific policies regarding onward travel requirements.
