ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all,

For the 1year ED visa (multiple entry), I assume a one-way flight is fine into Thailand? I have heard reports of issues at BKK with people not having return flights for their tourist visa. Assuming this is not an issue for the ED visa. And for single-entry ED visa's... same or different? 

Thanks for any info.

They have heard that travelers with tourist visas can face issues at Bangkok airport (BKK) when not possessing return flights and are curious if the same rule applies to educational visas, including single-entry ones.
