Can I enter Thailand on a one-way ticket with an onward flight to Vietnam?

Bill **********

If the airline check-in agent asks about onward travel, show your flight booking to Vietnam. But as Tod says, Thai immigration almost never checks.

That being said, the immigration officer did ask me for my flight out last time I entered in June — for the first time in over 25 years of frequent travel to Thailand.

@Graham *****

their FB wrote me back with the email for the visa department — which I had already written to.

Surprise! The Embassy visa section actually did reply and told me to apply again. I will use a different card from another issuer.

And there’s no sign of those two payments on my cc account.

@Ron *****

it will deny any knowledge. Just like when they ambush your card they’ll never tell you what the security issue actually was.

In this case, I know I went through the Kasikorn payment system and then the Mastercard ID process from my bank in which you confirm in the app that you are you and you made the payment.

OK I tried that, but I think the FB page is run by a different department from the consular/visa group, so again I would be very surprised if I get an answer. I wonder if anyone else has had their bank think the Kasikorn payment system is a security issue (which, the more I think about it, is what must have happened here).

thanks. I sent them an email, but I have little hope of a response.

Thanks, I’ve been through their info in both languages. It seems like nothing gets started until the payment is received.

@Marty ********

my health insurance remains valid for trips of up to 6 months outside the EU. So I’d just have to return a couple times a year. Anyway, I plan not to relocate permanently but to bounce back and forth.
