I just got my Thailand Pass today with only a One-way ticket from Hanoi To Bangkok. My question is it required to show a returning ticket in order to get to Thailand, or would they stop me? And what if I purchase one near the time of departure so I can cancel it in 24 hours? Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand on a one-way ticket, whether you need to present an onward flight ticket depends on the type of entry you are pursuing. For long-term visas like Non O, Non OA, or Thailand Elite, an onward ticket is generally not required. However, if you're entering under visa exemption or a tourist visa, you must usually show a ticket out of Thailand within the duration of your visa. Airlines often enforce this rule, so it’s advisable to have an onward ticket to avoid issues at check-in, even though immigration might not ask for it. Many travelers suggest booking a refundable ticket or using services that provide onward flight itineraries for a small fee to address this potential concern.
