Do I need an onward ticket to apply for a Thailand STV?
Hi has anyone applied for an STV? Do you know if you have to have an onward ticket (ticket out of Thailand) to be allowed entry? The STV has an initial 90 day permission with possible 2 X 90 day extensions. If an onward flight is required by immigration can this be beyond the initial 90 days if you plan to extend at Immigration bureau IN Thailand??, thanks
Answer summary
The Special Tourist Visa (STV) for Thailand does not require an onward flight for entry. The STV allows an initial 90-day stay with the possibility of two extensions of 90 days each.

Not for Thai Immigration but an airline might like to see one!Benjamin ******
@Steve ******
the airline would not need to see one either. Most people who get the STV will stay for 270 days. Steve *******

"Off the mark"? i'm going to ignore that insult for now. No airlines will want to see an onward ticket for entering on an STV (source:

. If they do, then ask them to try and book a ticket 270 days out. Steve *******

You're off the mark, the airline will want onward travel, the extentions arent a given, just an optionMichael *******
