ORIGINAL POSTERHello all, I’m certain I know the answer to this but the opinion is not shared with my travel agent who is booking my tickets.
I’m Australian citizen, travelling from Stockholm to Phuket next week. I’ve been issued a tourist visa and CoE through the embassy in Stockholm.
I’m actually in the process of renewing my elite visa, so have the tourist visa as interim to get into country.
The outgoing ticket requirement for checkin… just has to be a ticket to somewhere within the 60 days of the visa? Or back to Australia?
Tickets to Australia are hens teeth, the options I’ve been presented are costly with huge cancelation fees.
Thanks for your advice.

TLDR : Answer Summary
An Australian citizen traveling from Stockholm to Phuket with a tourist visa needs an outgoing ticket; it can be to any destination, not necessarily back to Australia. The opinion shared by the travel agent about the need for a specific destination was clarified by other users in the discussion.

You need a ticket out of Thailand. It’s irrelevant to where.

Ticket to anywhere costs $10 with an online ticket rental website. You do not need an agent.

@Ben ******
no. They only want to see a ticket out of Thailand. There’s no checking you could actually use it or not. Reply to
