Onward Ticket Troubles
I just departed Denpasar Bali, on route to use my DTV for the first time.
Check in staff in Bali were totally confused by what my Thailand visa is and had many questions.
It took 20 minutes and 3 staff debating in Bahasa, but after I signed a bunch of forms saying I will buy a ticket out of Thailand if rejected by immigration, I did get through.
The next time, I’ll get a refundable onward ticket but was hoping to avoid the hassle.
Do other experience the same?
