Do I need to book a return flight when applying for a Non-Immigration O visa online from the UK?

ok thanks

@Nigel ******

so if I understand this correctly, I could get my O visa by showing the UK Thai embassy evidence of 3+ months of regular income (£1500+) into my UK bank account at this stage without being required to deposit 800k TBH into a Thai Bank Account which I would only open (hopefully) after I arrive? Then assuming I get a Thai bank account up and running the regular monthly payments go into that, then at my first 12 month renewal point, that would also suffice?

Am I correct in saying that it's either £1500 per month or a closing balance of £ to apply for initial Non O at London?

for the first year you will need 800,000 in the Thai bank account. It needs to be in for 2 months prior to applying for the one year extension. The None O that you get in the UK, is to allow you to open a Thai bank account, and deposit the money for 2 months. The visa issued in the UK is only for 90 days.

The O A is for 1 year, but requires insurance, and criminal records checks.
