Answer summary
When applying for a Non-O retirement visa from the Thai embassy in London, it is not mandatory to have a confirmed return flight ticket. Applicants can use a one-way ticket or simply provide a flight number without purchasing a ticket upfront. However, having accommodation details is essential as it is required in the application. Some users have successfully submitted their applications with a flight number and a hotel reservation.

No need for return flight on a non-immigrant Visa, it's considered a long-term Visa

OPWannikea Wanblee im just finding it hard to organise the flights as there is 4 of us going but flights fully refundable are coming. Up just over £6000 would it be easier to sort my visa out first on my flight only then add the others once visa is sorted.

TalentedSalamander9109 the application only asks for intended date of arrival and flight. At this point you're not under any obligation to buy and show a ticket. So look on some airline sites and get some flight numbers and arrival dates

You don’t have to have a confirmed ticket when you apply .Just put flight numbers such as BR67 for outward flight

OPIan Carman I can't do.that as its not a legitimate flight number
Ian ********
TalentedSalamander9109 it’s the number for EVA airlines should be BR68

Ian Carman BR68 is the LHR-BKK leg , BR 67 is the BKK-LHR leg.

OPDid you buy fully flexible so you could change incase visa takes longer ?

TalentedSalamander9109 we got the single entry Visa £60. Didn't take long at all. But needed the flight number and hotel reservation, also proof of funds. Straight forward, good luck.
