Is onward flight required when entering Thailand on a DTV visa? or when checking in to the flight?

I booked a one way because I’m not sure how long I’ll stay.

Hi guys ,

I'm just applying for my visa then hopefully I can extend for the over 50 retirement visa while over there as iv been told is the process.

Do I need to provide an onward flight ticket or will I be OK to just book a one way 👍

Thanks guys for allowing me to join the group

I visit Thailand every year for 30days

This time im planning on coming for the full 60 with the intention of extending to 90 once im there

My question

When im booking a flight do I book the return flight for the 60 days or can I book it for the 90 period

Thanks

Just putting in my experience with immigration. Just some context I’ve been to Thailand now 3 times once for a week on visa exempt, once with a tourist visa and then now on a visa exempt. So when entering most recently the Immigration officer looked at my passport and asked for onward flight or return flight. I had no phone data when landing so I had a screenshot of my onward flight, she looked at my onward ticket from my phone then thought about it for like 2 min then told me wait over there to the side. I knew I was going to be held back. Then another officer said follow me to the “back” room from there there were several of us waiting. The lady said I need to talk to the main immigration officer as soon as he’s finished with another person. Long story short, I waited 30 min then another lady came to me and said why are you here I said on Holiday. She said let me see your onward ticket and I showed her. Then she communicated to another lady and then she asked me why were you brought back here I said I have no idea and she was like who was the officer that told you to come back here and I said I can’t even pronounce your names. She said ok you are good then another officer came over and stamped my passport and I left from there. While I don’t blame the original officer cuz my passport photo and me now are a lot different with no beard and long hair and the onward ticket being from a screenshot I kind of wish the original officer at least asked me questions instead of just holding me back. I think they don’t have time for that since it was jammed packed and would rather have the back officers ask the deeper questions.

DTV and onward flight?

Flying in tonight. I don’t need an onward flight right?

We will enter on DTV and the kids on visa exemption 60 days.

Do we need to show proof of flight out the country with Singapore Airlines?

Hello, my husband daughter and I fly into Bangkok mid June

We will have 30days on arrival (NZ passports) - will we need to show leaving flights if we plan on getting a 30day extension at immigration? (60days total)

Don't want to pay for leaving flights we won't use if we are extending

Thank you 🙌

Hi, I have a question. I'd like to stay 3 months in Thailand, so I was thinking about applying for the e-visa to get 2 months and extend it then 1 more month. When they ask for an onward flight, should I have it on the 2nd month or is it ok at the 3rd? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. My 30 day visa extension on a 60 day tourist visa expires on March 12. I plan on flying out somewhere close for a couple of days and then coming back in with a Visa exempt. Do I need an onward flight ticket out of Thailand before the 30 day visa exempt expires? I plan on getting a visa extension on that and then heading back home to France on April 29 (I have this ticket already).

Thanks for the great advice! (I’ll be getting a Non O in France in June and then returning to Thailand at the end of July to stay…retirement visa, 800k, etc etc etc 😊).

I thought I had things figured out but today someone enlightened me. I went to Ecuador for a month, Colombia for two months, Spain for a month and now I’m in Portugal. So far traveling has been a piece of cake.

I have a one way ticket to Bangkok as I was planning to stay for 60 days. Today a member told me I can’t do an EVisa as I’m not in my home country (USA) and I’m not flying from there. I have no idea why that should matter but anyway I’m asking for some help here. I arrive on 3/7 and have an Air BnB in Bangkok until 4/4 which is 29 days. I have NO onward flight because I wanted to stay for 60 days. I believe I can get another 30 days for a fee but how will this complicate my entry with immigration? I don’t want to book a flight out until I know how long I can be there. Your patience and knowledge is appreciated

Thank you
