Why did Delta Airlines ask for a visa when flying to Thailand?

Simon Tan Not if she's travelling on a US passport. He said she had to produce her Thai one.

It’s anyway quite funny for the airline to ask for a VISA when a national (your wife) goes back to her own country.

And the point of this post was what?

Before I secured my retirement visa, I would sometimes be asked at the ticket counter for the nature of my visa and my onward travel plans. Airlines are responsible for the cost of returning a passenger who is turned away at the Thai border for not having travel plans consistent with their visa. I used to take the precaution of buying faux ticket from places online that sells such things for about $10. Just Google something like “onward travel” and you’ll find plenty of them. I never had a problem using them.

Wtf??. Your point is mate?

I just flew Korean air/Delta to the US Delta flight was great. Korean air fell short. Neither of us was asked about visas. Maybe on our return to BKK. We have multi entry Non O visas

Delta is very strict. They even employ their own “security “ people that will question you on departure

Funny bc I came here first on tourist visa and was never asked for return flight info. I now have a different visa with multiple re-entry and still have not been asked for return ticket 🤞

@Frank *******

thats quite normal

Why did the airline ask for visa, since you can go there for 60 days without visa?

That sounds normal. An airline can be fined for allowing passengers to board without the proper visa or onward ticket.

All is normal when flying to Thailand from the USA on Delta Airlines. They want to see your visa and PROOF of your flight departing Thailand within the number of days you are stamped in for on arrival into Thailand.

I fly Delta and they always ask questions. Other airlines do too.

So nothing out of the ordinary
