Do I need a return ticket to enter Thailand if staying for 2-3 months without one?

You don't even bother to say what country you are from or visa type..however if coming on 60 day visa exempt you already seem to know it will be a problem... just book a camcelable round trip so you can modify your return once you get an extension... otherwise you probably in for a very miserable vacation after being denied and sent back home immediately.

your entering as a tourist but dont have a return flight. yeah ok. way to show respect to your host country.

Never been asked

Yes

I’ve never been asked ever in all my years of flying in. But be aware it could happen.

I would like to know if there is a way to speed up the visa application. I fly out from the USA on Jan 30th. Due to a misunderstanding I haven’t applied for a visa yet. Their recording states they need at least 3 weeks for approval. Right now I will have to forfeit my plane tickets.

Sì

I came here in July on a 1 way ticket from the US, never asked about anything from the US or Thailand after I arrived? Maybe I was just lucky, came here on a tourist visa drove to Laos got my non O now I have my 1 yr extension for my retirement

I never had a problem entering Thailand without a return flight

Book a bus online from Nongkai to Vientiane and get a printout ,works out around €4 for an onward travel ticket .

No, but your airline may want to see a ticket out of Thailand

Is very strict now , very risky

Just make sure you always have internet so you could buy an onward ticket anytime

Depends on your luck. Some ask to see o ward ticket some don't.

Folow the rules

If you don’t have a return ticket, the airline will not even let you board the flight. Everyone that is saying “no”is stupid.

buy a €10 train ticket to cambodia Or nearest country to where your staying in thailand. when filling out DTAC you will need to put down something .I booked a flite tto malasia waste of €75 i didnt use it non refund. got my 30 day extension here leaving in 2 weeks

Airlines almost certainly will ask because they will have some responsibility if immigration turn you around. I can in last week and immigration specifically asked me for proof of a return flight out

I always have a very valid reason for not having a return ticket. Needs must you could try flight generator app to show (but not book) an actual itinerary 👍

Depends on how many days you've already stayed in one year, proof of funds apparently now for some, and entry clearance vibes on the day. 60 day TDAC needs applying for 3 days prior to entry. Extend at immigration office for 30 days for 1900 baht

So, where ARE you going to go when your Thai permission to stay expires ?

It can be a problem with your airline at boarding and can be a problem at immigration, besides you need to enter the retutlrn flight number, when you file for TDAC landing card. It is official requirement and I don't understand anybody asking such questions and risking to be refused and sent back home in the time, when it happens to hundreds of people.

Busticket nong khai to Laos is enough. Be prepared before go airport get expensive when you have 15 min atvairport to show your onward ticket

Where are U from do U have a 60 day exempt ?

In all my years of international travel ( I am now 72 years old) I was asked once at Heathrow in 2003 and 3 times in the last 12 months,in Asia.

Yes, I now rent a ticket on bestonwardfly.com

The Digital Arrival Card (DTAC) requires departure information. Date of departure mode of departure, flight number etc. Should imagine it’s a requirement.

Just buy a ticket for Hanoi Vietnam 60 days out from arrival its cheap - if they ask they dont always ask and it will be the airline who asks before you board to thailand if they do

Try $16 for a ticket you’ll probably not need and definitely will not use.

Just buy a ticket krabi kl for 25 usd

I’ve been living in Thailand on non Imm O for more than 10yrs and this past August I was checking in to board my return flight to Thailand. The airline was refusing to give me a boarding pass because they saw it as a one way ticket to Thailand without a return ticket. I had to escalate my argument further up the chain with a manager that I am on a visa and I have reentry stamp in my passport, not a tourist. The manager after making a phone call approved my boarding. My Thai wife was almost in tears that she may have to return alone. So yes, book an onward flight within your 30 day or 60 day, whatever the visa exemption period is.

Do you need an flight out of Bangkok if you have a non o visa ?

Yes

Just book a bus ticket out if the country... it still counts as onward travel documents and is cheap

Go online and get a chuck away ticket for $10…….

I can’t comment on whether you need it in your scenario, but when we have needed them we just get a cheap throwaway ticket to Singapore or KL.

Sometimes the airline ask when check-in or boarding.

It can be a problem before boarding ,I just buy a throw away ticket ,get.one before the end if your first visa period.

Being denied boarding can be way nice expensive than a 100 dollar ticket

Will it be a problem? Probably not. It's more likely for your airline to ask for proof of your ticket out of Thailand than it is for immigration to ask. If your airline asks, they will not let you board your flight without it.

Because it's one of the 3 legally required items to enter Thailand as a tourist, if passport control does ask to see it and you cannot show it, they can potentially deny you entry. It's not something they ask for often, but it's not impossible.
