I'm from Australia sh t hit the fan after Emergency surgery in Thailand got knocked back on Travel Insurance as l had no return date or ticket So be careful. Different subject l know.

Simple solution is contact Thai embassy in your country and you will get the accurate information.

ever heard of photoshop? 😌

Brandon’s is the most thorough advice. The real question is your visa. You said you’re coming for 6 months. If you’re coming on a proper visa (long-term, not tourist), you should not need an onward ticket and much of the chatter here is irrelevant :-). I hope you have a great trip!

Correct unless you have a retirement visa.

Cheap bus tix to Cambodia, even if you do not use.

There are sites you can buy “ return tickets” that show up on the airline as a real ticket but there not. We’ve used them before and they work great. Highly recommend doing this to be safe it’s like $16

As others have mentioned, get a Pseudoticket for 10 bucks to be sure.

What you're hearing is correct.

This group seems to get same/similar posts several times a day. If someone's traveling way around the world, and then wants to hope they get lucky vs spending a few $$ for an onward ticket, is just beyond me. As for bus tickets, I've never tried, but have read the reason IO's won't accept that, as they go to the boarder, and do not go into another country, so the ticket isn't proof of onward travel outside of Thailand, just proof you're going to a Thai boarder town.

Tell them your a tourist and meeting other tourist and not sure what the itinerary is yet cause your not the leader of the group.

Nothing strange, you are being allowed to stay 60 days, and you need to show the you intent to leave again within the 60 days you have been granted.

Problem solved in five seconds: buy a plane ticket to Singapore and cancel it on arrival.

You'll have to bail out make a tourist visa after 90 days anyway . Why not just settle on a place to go do that and book ticket for it now ...🤔.

This depends on what visa you have ,if youvare arriving on a 60 day exemption then yes it's correct if you have a retirement visa one way is ok

My son just flew to Thailand from the UK last weekend on a one-way ticket - he was asked at check-in what his plans were and he just replied that he was going to fly on to Singapore before his 60 days were up. We had an 'onward' ticket already printed off just in case we needed to show anything as proof, but they just said "OK" and off he went. No questions when he arrived in Thailand - just the verbal check from the airline's check-in agent. As others have said, it can be a bit of pot luck as to whether or not you get asked and if you have to produce anything. A $16 'onward ticket' will be sufficient if you do

Get a dummy ticket $10 max ... What visa you arriving with...?

I bought a $50 ticket to Malaysia just in case when flying on a one way ticket on Korea Air. They asked to see it in Seattle on departure and again in Seoul.

not sure what sounds 'strange' about having a return ticket. It's common sense to have an onward ticket. You don't live there so get scootin'.

The law is a little vague on this. It'll probably come down to the person checking you in how strict they'll be. As has been said, immigrations rarely checks.

Myself, I was even advised by the person checking me in once to get a cheap bus ticket. It really can get accepted.

All airlines are supposed to deny boarding if you don’t have an onward ticket. In reality, some agents do and some agents don’t. Personally, I’ve been asked and not been asked. I’ve also heard that some agents don’t accept an onward bus or train ticket. That doesn’t make sense, but it’s possible. Most people “rent” an onward ticket from onwardticket.com or one of their competitors. It’s a real ticket that is automatically cancelled the next day or two. $15US or so.

The legal requirement if you traveling as a tourist is that you can show you are leaving the country (with an exit ticket known as "onward travel") within the number of days you will receive when you arrive. So that would be a ticket out of Thailand within 60 days.

Thai immigration rarely checks for this, but the airlines often do check for it. If your airline asks, they will want to see some type of ticket out of Thailand within 60 days of your arrival, or they will not let you board your flight.

If you are traveling with a long-term visa then this isn't applicable to you. Otherwise you can check with your airline to see what their policy is.
