ORIGINAL POSTER

If I go to Thailand wirhout a visa I get 45 days over there. If my ticket is 45 + 30 days, because I will extend my visa over there. Does the airline or check in bali make a problem because there is no visa for the whole period.

I am Dutch and I leave from Amsterdam Schiphol.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original question revolves around the potential issue of traveling to Thailand without a visa for the entire duration of the stay, specifically when intending to extend it by 30 days after the initial 45 days granted upon arrival. Several commenters noted that while immigration may not check rigorously, airlines might require proof of onward travel within 45 days. Suggestions included contacting the airline for confirmation, considering purchasing a cheap onward ticket, or adjusting return flight dates to avoid complications.

Ze kunnen er een probleem van maken dat je zonder visa pas een retour hebt na die 45 dagen, als je dat al hebt. Koop u een fake ticket op dag 44 en laat dat zien aan de check in.

What does Bali have to do with anything????

Immigration won't care as they rarely check. But if your airline asks to see proof of travel out of Thailand, they will require it to be within 45 days, since that's the amount of time you will be stamped into Thailand for.

You need to contact your airline and ask them their policy.

hou het toch maar beter bij het Nederlands. "He try to say checkin counter" is steenkool Thai/Engels. Beter in deze context is: "he was attempting to say", "he attempts to say", "he tried to say", ... "check-in counter".

Als buitenlanders maken we heel wat foutjes in de Engelse taal, veel Belgen/Nederlanders denken dat ze vloeiend Engels kunnen praten of schrijven maar niets is minder waar.

Wat we eigenlijk doen is onze Nederlandstalige woordenschat omzetten naar de woorden die we in het Engels kennen, wat voor een native speaker raar kan klinken. Om nog maar te zwijgen over het accent dat we hebben.
