Hi there.

This is a question regarding the onward/ return ticket requirement, upon travelling to Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption stamp.

I intend to stay in Thailand for approximately 90 days in this way, later applying for the 30-day extension … Then I intend to travel onward to Cambodia.

I was wondering though … Is it necessary to hold a return/ onward ticket that departs Thailand within 60 days … or would it suffice to have a flight out of there 89 days after the day of arrival (the flight I actually need).

I’ve been checked for the onward flight thing twice in the past when traveling to Thailand, but I’ve never had the same considerations about extensions and onward travel as I do now.

Your advice on this matter would be much appreciated

Thanks 🙏🏻

I’m arriving in Thailand, flying in from Seam Reap next month,

This will be my second 60 day visa excemption arrival in 12 months ,

Will I be asked for an onward ticket?

Please advise: We have a return flight ticket for 4 months in Thailand. When we travel into the country, do we need to have documentation that we are leaving Thailand within 60 days, so maybe buy a return ticket to Laos or Vietnam (3-4 days) in advance?

Hello. Uk citizen, i have a multiple entry tourist visa 180 days. Will i still be required to show a ticket leaving thailand with 60 days of arrival or not ? Thanks. David.

(US citizen) Wondering if i'll possibly have issues getting to thailand

I was in thailand for 86 days with visa extended from march till june 5th and have since been in malaysia.

My friends have planned a 4 day trip to krabi and I'm going but have only booked one way as im unsure if i'd like to go to somewhere like koh lipe or langkawi. Even though this trip wont last more than 10 days im wondering if I realistically could have problems and need to book a way out.

Thanks!

Hi all, I have returned to the UK after a 4 month stay, for the sale of my property. I am now looking to return to Thailand with no current thought of a leave date. Are there any concerns with a one way ticket on a DTV ? TIA

If I fly in on a tourist visa with the intent to convert it into a retirement O visa, do I purchase a round trip with a " throw away" onward ticket? I intend on using a visa agent.

Hey everyone,

For those who entered Vietnam recently on the 45-day visa exemption to apply for the DTV visa — did Vietnamese immigration ask you to show proof of an onward or return ticket when you arrived? Is this an official requirement?

Just want to make sure I’m prepared. Thanks in advance!

I’ve read some conflicting information on the need to have proof of onward ticket when entering on the DTV. To me it doesn’t really make sense to request this on a visa allowing to stay 180 days but I like to ere on the side of caution and always plan for the worst. In the unlikely situation of being asked for an onward ticket would a bus to Cambodia suffice or is a plane ticket better? (if so why is that)

Thanks!

Normally on the shorter tourist visa, you need to show flight exiting country. Is a one way ticket into Thailand ok? It should be right, as you have 180 days to find a flight out?
