Do I need an onward ticket when entering Thailand with a non-immigrant O-A visa?
Hello all, I will be applying for a non immigrant O-A visa soon. But there is an issue apart from the visa procedures that I am not so sure about. I would be very greatful if you could enlighten me please.
After I get the visa, do I need to have an onward ticket out of Thailand in order to board the plane to Kingdom and is an onward ticket out of Thailand is also required for entry into Kingdom by immigration. Thank you all for your attention.

Answer summary
For those applying for a Non-Immigrant O-A visa, an onward ticket is not required for entry into Thailand. Once you have your visa, you will be stamped in for a year from your arrival date or until your health insurance policy's ending date. It's advisable to carry printed proof of your visa and health insurance to present to immigration if requested.

For a Non OA visa entry an onward ticket is not required. You’ll be stamped in for one year or however long your insurance is valid until.

If you have proof of your OA visa for retirement, there's NO need to show a ticket departing Thailand. You will be stamped in for one year from your arrival date... or to the ending date of your health insurance policy.
Be sure to carry with you a print out of the PDF visa you received from the Thai Embassy or Consulate in your email.
And Carry with you a print out of the health insurance certificate proof to show Thai Immigration Officers if asked.
