Does anyone know if we need return plane tickets to get approved for a COE to enter the Phuket Sandbox or would one-way tickets be ok if we have ED and Non-O visas to enter Thailand - they are the single entry 90 day visas and we plan to convert to one year visas.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for return plane tickets when applying for a Certificate of Entry (COE) to enter the Phuket Sandbox seems to vary depending on the type of visa. It appears that for ED and Non-O visas, a return ticket may not be necessary, particularly if one is coming in on a one-way ticket. However, it is advisable to confirm specific entry requirements with the Thai Embassy, as rules can differ based on nationalities and visa types.

Ask your Thai Embassy as they are the ones which set the rules for entry into Thailand including return ticket requirements for some visas or visa exempt entry.

If you have non O and B visa return ticket is not required. Only for TR and visa exemption

Is a round trip ticket required? Or will a one-way be sufficient?
