Hi. Most people here are asking about documents related to things like work. I have a different question – flights. Every 1.5-2 months, due to personal matters, I'll need to return to my home country for about a week. So, I need a long-term visa, but my stay in Thailand won't exceed 80/90 days. When applying for a visa, I'm asked to provide a return flight. I have few questions:

1) What if I don't have a return flight yet? I plan to move to Thailand permanently in February next year and have a one-way flight.

2) Does my departure from Thailand have to be a return flight to my home country in Europe, or can it even be to a nearby country in Asia? What if I don't use that flight?

3) What if I buy a return flight and it will be for about two months after my arrival date? Will they still consider me a DTV, or will they force me to apply for a different type of visa?

Which flight did you put into the form? Did they want any confirmation of booking?

Do I need a return or ongoing flight when I enter thailand on a tourist visa?

What did you guys put on this page? I don't have a flight booked and I'm going back in a few days!!! HELP

hello all,thanks for adding me. We are a family of 4 from Canada who have been travellling for the past 5 months. We have had a very easy time of it so far with visas but find ourselves in a conundrum with Thailand as we didn't realize the strictures on the 60 day visa (ie. we can't apply for it outside our home country, as we had planned to do). We are currently in Sri Lanka and have a flight to BKK in less than 2 weeks.

So - my questions are:

1. can we come into thailand on a 30 day visa and extend it relatively easily in-country (we have seen both yes and no as an answer elsewhere). We would be applying for the extension in Krabi, which is our first stop.

1. if yes, we CAN renew relatively easily while in-country, will we need to show an outbound flight on arrival that is leaving the country by the 30 day mark? Or, can we enter with a flight that leaves by the 60 day mark and explain that we plan to renew/extend while in the country?

1. do we need to arrive at BKK with with printed photos for the 30 day visa on-arrival or not? we have read that yes, we need them, and no, we don't.

What say you - wise travellers?

Many thanks,

v.

Hi all, I would like some advice on my current situation. I am currently applying online for a SETV from the UK, If approved I will be extended it for 30 days at immigration once inside of Thailand. So the advice needed is, would the flights I have pre booked already which covers me for 90 days stay in Thailand be acceptable to obtain the 60 days visa? Also I do have a room booking for the 90 days with a private landlord, what information would be required from them so I can upload it onto the 'proof of accommodation' section on the application? I think I may of made an error by booking my return flights after 90 days an not 60 days, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards Lewis.

Hi. We're going to be applying for a METV shortly. Just a little bit confused - I understand that we need to show a flight out of and back to Thailand within the first 60 days, but when we need to leave Thailand after the first 90days ( after 1 extension), is it necessary to fly out and back and how long must this trip be, before we get stamped back in again. I thought I had this sorted, but unsure of the best thing to do. Thank you.

Applied for e-visa but my flights to Thailand aren’t direct

I am a resident of the UK (not a National) and I just submitted my Thai Evisa and I’m only now realising that one of the requirements is a flight direct to Thailand from the U.K. on the application I attached my flight itinerary from Bali, will this cause a rejection? I’m viewing Malaysia Indonesia and Singapore before Thailand.

Does anyone have any experience with the London embassy? How long does it take for the visa and are they strict about issues like this?

I'm applying for a non immigrant O visa. I am married to UK national who is on non immigrant B visa. E visa application is asking for PNR number. Does this flight need to be going from the UK to Thailand directly or can I fly in from another country on the way and use that PNR number?

Hi y'all.

What does 'Pre Check in' require these days for Air Asia? I leave this Friday at 17:10.

WARNING!!!

Anyone staying in Phuket Karon area and using ‘Doctor Karon Medical Clinic’ beware. My Son & Family plus 20+ other people they met tonight did NOT receive their 24hr RT PCR Covid test results for an 8pm Qatar flight tonight! The clinic actually closed its doors as so many people were turning up wanting to know what’s going on and where were their results.

Very stressed out angry and tearful people still waiting.

Now need to find out how we get our 7,500baht back. Is this something we can claim from insurance?
