How IMPORTANT is it to have a TICKET showing your departure from Thailand if U Don;t have a firm date? Thanks

In a few days I will return to my home country AUSTRALIA to apply for ED Visa for Adv. Thai Lang. course.

I will be returning to Thailand flying from SYD-SIN-USM Samui.

- Do I require an airline ticket indicating departure from Thailand?

- Do I require proof of funds in cash (and how much)?

- Any other requirements/advice?

Background info:

- Australian passport

- Been in Thailand since Sep. 2017 (multiple TR and 1x ED visa)

Thank you in advance for any advice! 🙂🙏🏽

For Tourist Applying in Hanoi.

I just went today to apply for Visa and everything went well. For Tourist visa they need Bank statement, ticket to get out of Thailand and the fee for visa in $.

The embassy is currently in renovation so you need to go to the right side white building and it’s open at 8:30am. The releasing of passport is 4pm -5pm.

When you arrived here please use Grab and don’t take taxi. I was scammed by Vietnamese taxi driver in the airport so I learned my lesson now 🤦🏻‍♂️.

For Internet seems Viettel has a good offer for 4G.

Hope it helps.
