Do I need a round trip ticket to enter Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa?

Not if you're applying in London you can't. It has to be return ticket.

@Steven *************

Yep. A return trip from UK with EVA was only £50 more than a oneway at the backend of last year.

@Mike *******

I have had a few one way tickets on 30 day no problem yet

hi Dominic, I’m in the same situation as Eric, but dependant not married, do you know the name of the guy’s video on you tube please.

The process start at Thai Embassy in your Country. You must book and stay in a list waiting authorization to go (embassy provide for ticket flight). But only Élite visa are allowed to entry in Thailand now. Maybe in october they could be able to change something when experimentally will open Pukhet to some tourists.

No notices for now.

@Michael ********

Retiree expats are not included in the people allowed to enter Thailand at the moment.

Only if you are legally married or parent of Thai national.

If you don’t meet the criteria then you won’t get a COE anyway.

@Michael ********

have you contacted Embassy? I don’t think they are accepting retirement visas atm. But you can buy refundable/changeable ticket quite easily once you get permission. Then just a COVID test 72-48 hours before. Embassies have detailed requirements, including insurance

@Dominic ***********

I have flown from Norway to Thailand 10 times on one way ticket, never been turned down.

@Dominic ***********

...you will be questioned at the departure airport and it is up to the discretion of the Airline if they let you fly....bit of a gamble I think.

@Anton *************

no they won’t I have flown multiple times on one way tickets and never had issues with immigration or airlines

@Bappaditya ****

yeah sure I’ll pm you my bank details and address just now

Mark Price I never said you didn’t need a exit ticket, I said you don’t need to put the flight or transport details on the departure card when you arrive.

To travel to lots countries you need to provide proof of departure flight/bus/boat etc. It is a legal requirement.

To fly into legally Thailand you need a ticket out.

Normally checked at the desk from the country you are leaving from.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying.

Which is clearly that you do not have to physically fill in the departure card on arrival. You physically fill it out on your departure.

Nothing to do with having an onward journey, that is a separate matter.

I’ve flown into Thailand at least 4 times a year for over a decade. Last year over 10 times.

Left Thailand on buses, cars, boats and flights. I would physically need a new departure card every time on exit if I filled it in when I entered. Immigration would lose their mind if thousands of people changed their departure cards details as they changed their travel arrangements.

So yes you are right, you need an outbound flight, can risk it but what’s the point for 1000tb phucket -KL ticket that doesn’t matter if you don’t get on the plane.

Mark Price yes because you are arriving into Thailand. 🤦‍♀️ you do not need to fill out the departure card until you leave you depart. Hence DEPARTURE card.

They never asked to fill it in. I year-end 6 times to Thailand in 6. Months.

Vietjet from Saigon refused to give me boarding card is I didn't not a flight out

, So if about them.

I did ask immigration later If I needed ticket or, and they said no.

Not it's men clear they track down on people who only go out and turn around (in free days)..

And they refuse every of you try live here or they suspect you work here illegally.

It's expect thaoland to start issue longer tourist visa, because who's will start 14 days in Howell room and then have to leave within 2-6 weeks....

And yet, any contact can refuse you entry if your not permanent resident it citizen for whatever reason, even if you have valid visa

I heard you don't have to fly out. My friend buy bus ticket to Malesia. I don't know it's okay or not but that she did. When I travel before I don't know where I want go next, and fly or boat etc. Lots of backpackers don't know where they go to next and when. I can fly to Thailand but I can also fly my home country after trip example from Vietnam. I think embassy give you right answer.

Yes that is for a departure, when you exit Thailand. Not enter, you can leave it blank til you leave then hand it to immigration when you exit with your flight or car/minibus number

@Darren ******

the problem isn’t usually on entry to Thailand, it’s being allowed to board the plane to Thailand. Although if you have a visa they don’t usually check because you usually have to have round ticket to get visa. So it’s pre checked at that stage.

@Dar***

that’s a fair point. Some airlines will say u need it. And then not check lol. I almost always buy one way tickets and have not been asked to produce return ticket in 70+ countries. But I know people who have. Hit and miss it is
