Hi if we arrive to Thailand with a 90 days non o visa for purpose of retirement, do we need to have an onward ticket. Thanks
Answer summary
No, you do not need to have an onward ticket when arriving in Thailand with a 90-day Non-O visa for the purpose of retirement. This requirement applies only to tourists. Additionally, some travelers suggest checking with your airline for refund options on return flights.

No, not needed but maybe a tip. Check y'r airline for refund options. I bought a return flight from EVA Air and when I decided to stay in Thailand, I got a refund of 150€ !! on my 'return home flight', so this made my 'one way' to Thailand 150€ cheaper then when I had booked a one way ticket in the first place.

Non-immigrant visas have no requirement for onward travel. It's only tourists that require that.
