The Non-O visa is exempt from the requirement of an outbound ticket.

If you already maintain a bank account in Thailand and transfer the required funds, you may apply for a Non-O visa from within Thailand without the necessity of keeping the funds in the account for three months. This requirement applies solely to the first year’s extension of stay, for which the funds must remain in the account for a minimum of two months prior to submission of the application. Should you apply from Vietnam using a US passport, you are required to provide an address (or accommodation) in Thailand as part of the application.

A TM.30 address registration in Thailand is not sufficient for the visa application. You’ll need to provide a new booking confirmation for your coming stay.

If you are at least 50 years of age and have a verifiable monthly income equivalent to a minimum of 65,000 baht, you may apply for a 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa on the basis of retirement. Upon arrival in Thailand, it is essential that you open a Thai bank account and deposit a minimum of 800,000 baht at the earliest opportunity. These funds must remain in your account for at least two months prior to submitting an application for your initial one-year extension of stay at the Immigration in Thailand.

This constitutes the first fundamental step; subsequent requirements may be addressed in due course.

With a Canadian passport and no recent history of tourist entries to Thailand, you will receive a 60-day visa exemption and a free entry stamp upon arrival. Your return ticket qualifies as the required onward ticket within the 60-day period.

Yes you can go and apply for a 30 days tourist extension from when you have 45 days left on your current stamp in Bangkok. You go to Lak Si IT-Square.

Bring your passport, a receipt of your TM.30 address registration and a pass photo.

You can just submit a travel itinerary with a prospective flight number and hotel or private residence address in Thailand. The e-visa portal doesn't require ticket documentation for a Non O visa, and you can travel anytime within the visa's validity period. If the embassy requests additional evidence of accommodation, a short-term booking or private residence address should suffice.

With a Laotian passport, you can enter on a 60-day visa exemption and receive a free stamp upon arrival. No visa is needed. This can also be extended with additional 30 days at your local immigration. So 90 days in total without a visa.

For furter stay you’ll have to provide more information.

Thanks for confirming. He doesn’t have a clue either

?. I understand that you may be a bit concerned and in denial if you are on an illegal stay arranged under the table through an agent. At some point, however, this may catch up with you — and it could happen sooner than you realize or would like.

This is not a matter of opinion, as this practice does in fact take place, even if it may appear relatively recent. It is understandable that certain individuals, who have obtained their extension status through agents by means of borrowed funds, may feel anxious and therefore inclined to deny it. The consequences of any breach of the applicable conditions are, however, subject to the discretion of the competent immigration office. Even where an extension of stay for one year has been granted, the holder remains under a continuing obligation to comply with the requirements attached to that permission. A failure to do so renders the individual technically in overstay. Moreover, it is beyond dispute that the immigration office retains the authority to revoke an extension prior to its expiry. The precise consequences in each case will depend on the determination of the relevant immigration office. Ultimately, it is a matter solely between the individual concerned and the immigration authority having jurisdiction.
