What are the requirements regarding onward travel tickets when entering Thailand?

@Оли***

we just landed in Da Nang, thanks for the ticket! 😂

@Ronald ****

where to buy a ticket that can be cancel with no fees? thanks for your help :)

I usually have a 60 day Visa but my return is for 90 days or more. I tell the airline I can get a 30 days extension or even get a retirement Visa once I'm there. Other option is leave the country and come back for another 30 day's or maybe 45 days pending if they still allow 45 days

@Hovvard *****

I wish the airlines would get there shit together and let the passengers worry about return trip

@Stephen ********

Australia never seems to check, Europe, North America and Middle East have a lot of reports of airlines checking tho.

@Andrew *******

I think if you travel in to thailand from less desirable countries, you will see a completely different rate of more indepth interrogations on that population...

@Craig ******

TR visa still requires you to upload your round trip tickets. However, you can game the system. I did😜

I think it IS a requirement. Just very lightly enforced. People have been sent back. Am I wrong?

Ok Mr Angry.

@Pauline ******

oh well in that case nobody will ever be asked for onward travel at thai immigration, and by that same stupidity, we can say that nobody will ever need 'proof of funds' or 'proof of accomodation booking' upon arrival in Thailand. That's just 2 visitors out of an estimated 30 million this year. The facts are, that Thai immigration can chose to refuse you entry, on those three proofs, of onward travel, funds (inc the 20k baht cash) and accomodation booking'. Stating on a large fb forum used by thousands for accurate info, that your mate Dave did not get asked this time, does not help in anyway, infact it muddies the water for those who don't realize the above facts. And this kind of 'unhelpful' help you offer is the second most discussed item on the forums.

@Stuart ********

exactly. Why the airlines even care is beyond me. They are not Thai immigration. On another point, I have never been asked for a return ticket except during COVID. I think this has become a holdover practice from COVID and the airlines are slow to change. It's hard too keep up with every countries visa requirements so they assume the worst case scenario. Pre COVID I went to Europe and was never asked for return ticket.

@Ginette ****************

No you don't

@Simon *********

I have only during COVID. However, if you get the TR visa you have to upload you tickets so immigration already assumes you have a return ticket. That's why they don't ask. The visa exempt entry could be different.
