TLDR : Answer Summary

Swedish passport holders do not need a visa for a 30-day visit to Thailand, as they receive a visa-exempt stamp upon arrival. It's important to show proof of onward travel, such as a flight ticket to another country, especially when traveling on a one-way ticket. While the initial 30 days can be extended by applying for a Non O retirement visa, travelers should be cautious about airline policies regarding proof of departure.

NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

The reason that we want to buy only one way ticket is we are going to change it to Non O retirement visa when we arrive Thailand.

if you fly without a visa AND this on a one-way ticket (!!), you can be DAMN SURE every airline will ask you for proof of an onward travel leaving Thailand within the 30 days period you will get visa-exempt stamped into Thailand. You should NOT ignore this risk. Please be AWARE the cheap fake "onwardticket" might NOT be accepted by the airline as sufficient a proof. Only a REAL flight ticket such as for example Air Asia one-way from Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur for 32.- US Dollars give you a 100% guarantee of being accepted

Nej, men chansa inte med matten! 29 dagar är alltid säkrare... Du behöver inte ens fylla i de små blå korten som fanns förr, utan står bara och köar för att lämna flygplatsen och hämta din resväska. Framme i kön vill de se din biljett ut ur landet, och så får du en stämpel i passet på 30 dagar... Själv har jag det svårt med om man ska räkna ankomstdagen och avresedagen så tar alltid 29 dagars vistelse eller köper VISA på plats 29 dagar senare....
