I have only booked a one-way ticket to Thailand. I am coming in on a non-o visa retire do I need onward travel? If so, how do I get round this? The flight was booked with Emirates?

Previously I had a Non-Imm O. I have been out of Thailand for a few months. I wish to return for 60-90 days this time. I own a condo in Bangkok. However, I am wondering how strict they are on having an ongoing flight or train ticket etc?

Arriving 21/09, on 60 day visa exempt .

Have not booked onward travel out of Thailand yet as dates are uncertain .

My question is what do I fill in on the electronic arrival card, re onward travel please ?

Must specify have visited many times before and never overstayed if that helps .

Hello everyone!

I am new to the group and would like to introduce myself. My name is Rob Pegues, from Brooklyn, NY. I will be traveling to Thailand for the first time, and would like to know specifically what information (i.e. Visa requirements, etc.) I need to complete prior to booking my trip? How does that process work as a US Citizen.

Hello everyone 🙏

I just want to know if the ETA for Thailand is aktiv already? I heard some updates last december, they gonna launch this Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) in january 2025. Since my wife and I gonna fly to Thailand on the 12.february, is there anything we need to fill out before entering the country?

We won’t have any Visa on arrival so that’s why.

Thank you for the efforts and advices in advance 🙏

Visa Extension denied at Koh Phangan Immigration.

UPDATE

We went to samui immigration and got the extension in 10 minutes.

We stayed in Thailand from late October 2023 to mid-April 2024, based on visa exemptions, extensions and two border runs during this period. We re-entered Thailand on November 8th, 2024 at BKK Airport, we were questioned and asked for a return ticket. We showed a return ticket for 60 days later. They further told us that we did a visa run with stamping out and in on same day earlier this year and that we should not do this again. (We did this with a visa agency.) Eventually we got stamped in until January 6th. Now, in Koh Phangan, immigration is refusing to extend our visa due to a remark in the immigration system about the return ticket and that we have acknowledged the visa run. They say we must leave. Has anyone else faced this? Can we try Samui or another immigration office? Any advice appreciated.

I'm going to Thailand in January on non-imm O visa. Flying from UK.

Can I buy one way ticket as I'm not sure how long will i stay? Or will it have problems on the border?

Hey all!

I promise I tried the search function 🤷but I can't find the name of the website that I can "book" a flight out of Thailand with, for purposes of the entrance requirements.

I already have my actual one-way in booked from the states. But I am not sure what my onward travel plans will be just yet.

So IIRC there is a company that helps with this requirement for entry?
