Hi All. Looking for some info.

I have a friend coming to Thailand in May. He has an Italian passport (dunno if that changes anything). Anyway, does he need to have a return flight booked back to his home county to apply for a tourist Visa as proof of onward travel or would a simple bus ticket to Cambodia/Vietnam/wherever suffice.

Thanks in Advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry is about whether a traveler with an Italian passport, visiting Thailand in May, needs a return flight booked to apply for a tourist visa or if a bus ticket to a neighboring country would suffice as proof of onward travel.

These are the requirements, be aware that this Pretoria Consulate is know of adding text on Visa's that only allow for application of other visa back in your the home country.
