Hello, first time posting. I never been to Thailand so all this is a learning process. I bought a one way ticket to Thailand and plan to use miles to come home to USA. My question is , I know we get 60 days and a 30 day extension. I don't know how long I am staying. May be 30, 60 or 90 days. Do I need a return trip to enter? And if so is it best to set it for 60 days or 90 days? What's my best way to handle this? Like I said, I am new to all this. Any advise is appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking advice regarding entry into Thailand on a one-way ticket, particularly about whether a return ticket is required. Multiple comments emphasize that while formal entry may not require a return ticket, many airlines will ask for proof of onward travel, especially since the traveler plans to enter on a visa exemption. Suggestions include booking a low-cost onward ticket or a cheap bus ticket to a neighboring country to satisfy airline policies. It's also discussed that these 'onward tickets' can sometimes be just reservations, which might pose a risk of being considered invalid by some airlines. Overall, the advice leans toward having either a return or onward ticket to avoid complications with airline policies or immigration upon entry.
