and you made assumptions trying to be smart. The fact is you are wrong. I never said anything about my visa, I said the airlines frequently check for return or onward travel proof. Which is 💯 accurate and true.

@J**

my original post was not misleading in any way. You unilaterally took yourself off on a goose chase. I never said anything about visas, only you did making wild assumptions and ill founded claims. My visa status is absolutely irrelevant to the point.

To the best of my knowledge this is a national requirement, unless you employ a visa agent…

@J**

yes?

@J**

lets put this to bed once and for all, please. My visa had expired while I was out of the country. So when I was returning I did not have a visa, so I was arriving as a “tourist”, and then I would renew my visa in country. I was not “duped”, the airline would be liable for my departure flight if Thai immigration refused my entry because I had no departure flight. Happy now?

@J**

again you are drawing conclusions from minimal evidence. Please enlighten everyone including me when if ever I obtained my visa to live in Thailand? I am waiting with baited breath.

@J**

there was never any ambiguity about my answer, except in your own mind. I never said anything about visas, I only mentioned I had been living in Thailand for 10 years to add qualification to my response. Sadly you are one of the many people who read ten words and assume a thousand. Keep it clear, precise and on topic.

@J**

I gave the OP advice, I don’t need you to advise me about anything.
