ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello. Thanks for all the vital information.

I have a one way ticket from Brisbane Australia to Chiang Mai on Singapore Airlines. I fly in a week or so. I will stay until next year.

I have a valid retirement visa with the extension until August.

I have a single entry re-entry permit.

I prefer to only have a one way ticket ….if possible….but I could easily buy a return leg if required.

Is my current arrangement safe..?

Am I ok to stick with the one way ticket….? I don’t want any hassles at the check in…

Appreciate all your help…thanks.

As you have a visa/extension you are totally fine with a one way ticket, no problem at all.
