Do I need to show an onward ticket when arriving in Thailand on a single-entry 90-day Non-O volunteer visa?

Hello All,

We will be arriving on single-entry 90-day Non-O (volunteer visas). Although the embassy recognizes the intention is to stay much longer than this, Canada only offers single-90 Non-O visas and then you are to extend in country (after getting work permit). Anyways, my question is whether we will be required to show an onward ticket that leaves before the 90 days are up? Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus is that you do not need to show an onward ticket when arriving on a single-entry 90-day Non-O (volunteer) visa. If you are applying for a Certificate of Entry (CoE), you may not need a return ticket, although there could be different requirements depending on the immigration status of individuals traveling with you.

As long as you can get CoE without it, you don't need a return ticket.

If 'we' includes someone on tourist status, he/she would need a return ticket even if you all traveling together.
