ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi I tried a search for my question but couldn’t find a definitive recent answer. 

I’m arriving in BKK on the 2nd April on a O visa based on being a parent of a Thai child. 1 year multiple entry with maximum 90 days. 

I don’t have a outbound flight booked will this be a problem?

Thanks for all your help
