Hi, just a question. If we have an non o visa (retiring in thailand) when flying into Thailand do you need proof of outbound flight? Thankyou
Answer summary
When flying into Thailand on a Non-O visa for retirement, it is generally not required to provide proof of an outbound flight. Most responses indicate that travelers with a Non-O visa can enter Thailand without an onward ticket. However, there are exceptions where airline staff may request proof, particularly if they perceive potential immigration issues. It's advisable to check with the airline prior to travel.

Walrus Thorn The post is about the need for an outbound flight when on a 90 days Non-O. Not about money.
