ORIGINAL POSTER
As a UK passport holder, do I need a return ticket to apply for a Non O visa to enter Thailand in January 2022.

My wife is Thai and we’ll return to Thailand from China, the plan being is for me to arrive with a Non O visa and apply for a ‘Married to a Thai’ long term visa after 30 days or so.

We have flights booked from China, although cannot get a return ticket, unless I book a one way ticket from Bangkok to London, although I’m not sure if I need to do this in order to get the Non O visa.

I would appreciate your feedback.

TLDR : Answer Summary
As a UK passport holder applying for a Non O visa to enter Thailand, a return ticket is not required. This applies specifically to Non O visas, unlike tourist visas which do require one. If you are unsure about your departure plans, it is recommended to book the cheapest flight out of Thailand just to comply with the ticket requirement.
