ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone! Please some advice.

My family (husband + baby + I) are entering Thailand soon with just our passports (our home country is Chile so we do not need a tourist visa to enter for 90 days). We plan to study Thai in a languge school and get ED visas after that time (leaving the country to apply). We have a one way ticket to Thailand from Chile. My question is: should I buy a bus ticket or some kind of ticket outside the country? Could I have any problems if I don't have one or should I be fine?? Thanks in advance!!! :)

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on whether to purchase a bus or other exit ticket from Thailand, having only a one-way ticket from Chile and planning to enter visa-free for 90 days before applying for ED visas. Responses highlight that airlines may require proof of onward travel, as they are accountable if passengers are refused entry, while Thai immigration may not concern itself with this unless the traveller has multiple entries.

You have to contact your airline company to answer this question. People flying on a one way ticket without a visa, makes the airline company reliable for you in case you are refused entry into Thailand. The Thai Immigration does not care, unless you travel with multiple back to back tourist visa or visa exempt entry into the country.

Will I have any issues entering Thailand with a one-way ticket if I plan to travel to Cambodia afterward?
