How can I obtain an onward travel flight for my one-way ticket to Thailand?

Look on the Thai government website, a bus ticket out is adequate.

You need an O Visa - you get caught doing the wrong thing and they won’t let you in at all

Be smart about it

Buy a cheap ticket to anywhere nearby. Any bus or air ticket is fine.

I bought a ticket BKK to Ho Chi Minh while I was at checkin!

You will have to leave Thailand to get the correct visa

Book a return then cansell it get money back that's what I did

2 days before arriving in Thailand, and thinking of doing a one week visit to Vietnam, I booked a fully refundable return ticket with Emirates (Bangkok - DA Nang), 1 day after arriving in Bangkok I changed my mind and cancelled my booking, receiving a full refun back into my cc within 3 days of cancelling.

Do not commit fraud to save a little money with fake tickets.

Build a trip somewhere into the plan at the correct time , see something new, treat it as a bonus ....me I just eat it and do a walk over and back .

Committing any illegal act ( a fake ticket site perlaps)in Thailand is plain stupid .

If a hundred euro ,if that is major money you should not come at all .

I personally am coming almost no matter what .

Why do people always want to fight the systems?

It’s not the same out there, make sure you have your Ts crossed!

Who knows who is monitoring this page… your post etc.

I assume you have used your real name??

You not getting in Thailand without a Visa so you wanna take care of that first

Buy a refundable flight ticket and just cancel it

When I came on my 90-day Non-O, I just stated I'd be travelling by car to Laos, on a certain date, with details yet to follow. They were happy with that.

I extended by a year before that date, so didn't have to make the journey.

No need to waste money on an unnecessary ticket, if you're planning on staying here.

Just by a cheap flight out of Thailand to Malaysia or Cambodia, £20 should cover it

Onward ticket com

Stated on their site: Instead of wasting hundreds on throwaway or temporary flight tickets, you can meet your travel requirements starting at just $16.

There are services that reserve a return ticket for you briefly so that you can show that to officers if asked.

Onwardticket.com $13

I've never been asked for the departing flight

Book a cheap flight to Vietnam or rounding countries 👌🏽

If you are flying to Thailand on a one-way ticket, or without a visa, you can expect that the airline will ask you to provide proof of onward travel from the destination country within the expected length of stay stamped upon entry. In your case it’s a 60-days visa exempt entry.

It does not necessarily have to be the "return flight". It CAN be a return flight. But it can also be a one-way flight "out of Thailand" within the permitted period.

For example, a cheap one-way ticket with Air Asia from Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur for $35.00, is a 100% secure onward travel proof

Even if you have a visa, the airline can ask for proof of onward travel if you are leaving Thailand outside the length of stay stamped upon entry, or if you want to fly with a one-way ticket.

They "can", they don't necessarily do so. But if the check-in crew implements the rules consistently, they will definitely ask for it.

Because this IATA rule does in fact EXIST, even if many people don't believe it or want to accept it, just because they have never been asked for proof of onward travel.

The penalty for the airline that does not follow the rule is 10,000 U.S. Dollars if the passenger is rejected at the border of the destination country.

And if a flight is overbooked, the airline uses the onward travel proof as a proven means of thinning down the number of passengers. And that's what they will surely do in such a situation!

Thai immigration normally is not interested in proof of onward travel or the return flight. They only ask for it randomly - this usually happens to those entering the country who got an extensive stamp history in their passport, or passengers who turn up in ragged clothing or drunk. Thai Immigration also has made clear that if they find you in the possession of a “fake” ticket (one of the so-called “onwardtickets”), they will consider you trying to scam them, and will deny entry.

The airline is only enforcing a guideline from Thai immigration. The IATA, as the highest aviation authority, has committed to applying these guidelines. And because Thai immigration has passed the check-duty to the airlines, it does not check again when you enter the country. They tacitly trust the airlines did check already

It is also important to know that many airlines do NOT accept a train or bus ticket to a neighboring country as proof of onward travel, but insist that it must be a FLIGHT ticket.

** You also often read that you can provide proof by booking a hotel in a neighboring country.

** or by presenting a visa for the neighboring country.

** or by signing a form in which you accept responsibility in the event of entry being refused.

** or by taking a speedboat ride from Koh Lipe to Langkawi.

** or a bus ticket to Cambodia

** or a train ride to Singapore

** or a cheap "onward ticket" (but at your own risk)

All of these are just half-hearted suggestions. There is NO guarantee that it will work. The airline decides whether to accept it or not

Of course there are people in every group who claim the opposite, but they can NEVER GUARANTEE their statements

Where as a “real” one-way flight ticket out of Thailand is always a 100% guarantee

Then there are people who firmly claim that the proof of onward travel does not exist, just because they have never been asked

These people can never guarantee that you will not be asked. Such a behavior is irresponsible towards those asking in FB groups

There is NO guarantee that you will not be asked at check-in. It could just as easily be the other way around and proof of onward travel will be asked.

Then you are left standing at the check-in counter and are refused boarding.

That is why I don't think it is a good idea to present your own experience as irrefutable. Thousands of travelers have been turned away in the past, and HUNDREDS face this problem EVERY day at airports around the world

What kind of proof of onward travel will be accepted, you should ask the airline, but it is best to do so in writing (email) In this case if you receive a positive reply, you can print it and take it to the check-in counter. Over the phone, airline employees sometimes tell you anything whatever comes to their mind, much of it might not be true.

Book a cheap throw away ticket to neighboring country.

Con man. Just use honesty.

You. Book. An. Onward. Flight.

Used onward ticket in multiple countries across Asia for years. It's never let me down.

Always buy a REAL cheap one-way flight ticket, like Air Asia Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur

BE WARNED - if an Immigration officer sees your fake onwardticket, you will be denied entry and you will get flagged in the Central Computer for having tried to scam Immigration . . . .All these people here who recommend a fake ticket are living in the past

I just bought a cheap ticket to Vietnam

Buy a bus ticket to Laos.

But he's still gonna need an exit flight when hes back from vietnam unless he sorts out his visa first time round i agree, he should talked the opportunity to visit Vietnam. It's amazing too. Foods not as good as Thailand though

If you are coming here for a retirement visa no RT ticket required

If you are booking 1 flight book 2 not rocket science Vietnam cheap tickets

Virtual but real flights online from $12 .. too many amateurs on this site ..

Book an onward ticket to Vietnam and go have a look at the place, really nice place to visit then come back to Thailand ... for another days depending on what is enforced by then.

Get a train ticket from Udon thani to Vientiane or bus ticket be about 5 us dollars by train. Can get from 12goasia website and download it. It's not a fake ,it's real lol. I have used this twice when asked by Qatar airways at London for proof of leaving Thailand. I have also used it once for the immigration officer in arrival in Bangkok so it definitely is acceptable.

Find the cheapest one way ticket, dates are flexible.

Eg. From

Bangkok to Vientiane (VTE)

Bangkok to Siem Reap (REP)

Bangkok to Penang (PEN)

Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur (KUL)

Bangkok to Johore(JHB)

Bangkok to Singapore (SIN)

Bangkok to Vietnam (SGN/HAN)

Buy cheap ticket to vietnam before you come out you need outward bound flight for tdac

Dont buy a false ticket , if they detect it, you wont be getting any visa.

Just buy a cheap online one way ticket to a close Country and just don't use it

What visa are you arriving on ?

Youre the reason thai clamping down

I flew in 2 weeks ago, and had to book a flight out before would they let me in. Seem to ignore my TDAC entirely.

Never been asked about return ticket

The only legal way to do it:

Buy a fully paid, fully refundable, re-routable ticket to anywhere. (Not the cheap tickets you can get anywhere).

Then once in Thailand you go to the airline and ask for a refund a few weeks before travel is due.

Problem solved.

Si vous avez un visa retraite pas besoin de vol retour . Vous devez avoir le visa avant de partir, on ne peut pas obtenir un visa en Thaïlande.

Bus ticket

Plan B…get a cancellable hotel booking to Laos and (in the unlikely event that you are asked about an onward ticket) say you are traveling with a friend by road via Nong Khai.

Please don't lower the average IQ of the expat community by doing what you intend. Visas for Thailand have to be applied for from outside Thailand. It mystifies me how you might know enough about Thailand to decide that's where you want to be without knowing what the Thai government requires.

I always just get a cheap flight with Air Aisa or similar carrier.

Usually ends up costing circa. £20 for a flight out of Thailand to somewhere "local". Good place to look at booking is somewhere like Malaysia...

You can book direct with the airline for peanuts (As I said, around £20) and up to you if you use the flight or not.

No reason whatsoever to risk anything by using a 3rd party service for a fake ticket.

Just buy the cheapest ticket out the country normally can pick up 1 for 1, baht

When will people learn in any country in the world you can enter on a one way ticket ! Stop asking nutty questions about one way tickets, all I ever buy is one way

You may not get past check in as they have tightened up and asking to see you onward flight details on day 59. Their computers are set up so they can't override the details because if you land and immigration decide to deny you boarding its down to the airline to fly you back...

Book a short haul flight that you can cancel to Vietnam from Thailand. When you arrive in Thailand, cancel the flight.

In the past I used bus tickets. The rule is "onward travel" not flight. It's been 4 or 5 years since I have done it that way but it worked for the embassies when applying for visas.

Maybe explain why you'd fly in without a visa which you could get before arriving, then have to go to a neighbouring country to apply for a visa.

Guy ,

You’re getting some really bad advice from the Facecrap peanut gallery.

Google excerpt :

Thai immigration and airline check-in agents are highly aware of "dummy ticket" and onward travel rental services. While these sites provide temporary, real PNR reservations, officers are trained to spot them and will sometimes reject them as valid proof of exit.

You’ve been warned.

Good luck !

None of this makes any sense, try again and think before you type a question🤷🏾‍♀️

Get the visa before you go to Thailand.If you dont you might not be allowed into Thailand.

Book a cheap cancellable outward ticket for 60-days time, and then cancel it once you're here.

If asked by airline or immigration just book on the spot random flight as Krabi - Kuala Lumpur and that’s it

Just to on 12go and buy a cheap train or bus ticket out of the country. I did it and it only cost like $5. The airline was fine with that.

Do yourself a favour and apply for the visa you intend to acquire inside Thailand before travelling. Without a Non-immigrant visa you won't be able to open a bank account and without a bank account you can't apply for a 12 month extension of stay. You also won't require any onward ticket.

Maybe actually buy a return ticket to….dare i say return like you’re suppose to. 🤨

GetOnwardTicket is the one I use .

Just book a shorv cheapo flight to the nearest external airport and blow it out. Make sure it's before your visa xpires...

Buy a return ticket

Put in your itinerary train from Hat Yai to Padang Besar

I've flown in on a single a few times I was only questioned once and just told them I was travelling to neighbouring countries by land . They accepted that and let me in

So you're flying to Thailand without the proper visa then going to apply for the "correct visa" after arriving? That doesn't make sense. Get the visa before arriving is the best way.

Why do that just get a 90 visa from your own country at a thai embassy and change it all when you get here to get the correct visa

onward ticket..check out their website

If you intend to stay long term, apply for the appropriate long-stay visa before you travel. That removes the onward ticket requirement.

Buy cheap one to neighbouring countries look at airasia website or use one of dummy ones onwatdticket.com or other
