Hi Eveyone, arriving next week with my family to get 30 day visas on arrival (we are Australian). I know we need to show the border agent our itinerary with a departing flight before 30 days. Does the itinerary need to include ticket numbers also? Just making sure I have the correct documents printed so it’s a smooth entry. Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

An Australian family arriving in Thailand should know that they will be entering visa-exempt, not on a visa on arrival. They need to show proof of onward travel, which can be in the form of a booking email confirmation. It's important to have printed documents ready for the airline check-in at the departure point, as they will request this proof. Additionally, travelers may want to consider vaccination requirements for children when traveling to Thailand.

Hello we are planning to visit Thailand only a few days, we are currently in Vietnam. I read that you are traveling with family, maybe you can inform me, Thailand requires vaccination for children? Thank you in advance for your reply 🙂

It won't be the border agent, it will be the airline check-in at your port of origin who requests proof of onward travel

. If your return flight is with same airline, they will already know if you have one when you check in and won't ask you. I've flown from Aust to Thailand dozens of times on 4 different airlines and they've never questioned me because I've returned with them too.

You’ll be entering visa exempt, not Visa on arrival (VOA) very different and not available for Australian citizens. If they ask for flight out details just show them the booking email confirmation you received.
