Will not having an outbound flight booking create issues for my entry to Thailand on a visa-exempt entry?
Hi, I'm arriving in Thailand soon, flying from the US. My spouse and I plan to get teaching jobs once there, but we'll start on just the visa-exempt entry. We haven't booked an outbound flight since we're planning to get jobs. Will this cause any issues on arrival for us? Thank you for the advice!
Answer summary
Travelers arriving in Thailand on a visa-exempt entry may face issues if they do not have proof of an onward flight. Airlines might require this proof during check-in, and without it, you could be denied boarding. It's advisable to check with your airline about their policies regarding onward travel proof.
