Hi! I would like ro know if it's only in Penang that they are asking for a flight ticket back home to get the tourist visa?
Also would like to know which company allow to cancel the flight. (doesn't want to take a risk with a fake ticket)
Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights that more Thai consulates, including those in Penang, are requesting proof of onward travel for tourist visa applications. While Vientiane is mentioned as a possible exception, many consulates accept a bus ticket to another country as valid proof. For securing a cancellable flight, it is suggested that travelers look into major airlines offering refundable fares, typically available directly from their websites, or consult local tour companies that can temporarily hold a flight without payment.
