You obviously have better knowledge than the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I guess you’re one of only one I’ve seen on this site proclaiming that an onward ticket is formally not required for entering on visa exemption. Some at least say that a bus ticket could be sufficient. Just stick to yourself mate.👍

@Chris ***********

Sorry but your childish comment is without any substance, facts or interest.

@Chris ***********

You don’t comment formal regulations, just stick to your personal experience. Onward ticket is formally required for both visa exemption and tourist visa. For people who have knowledge this is not even a question. Do you think the airline will ask for it just for their own sake. When you enter Thailand as a tourist you formally should be able to show proof of: 1) Funds 2) accommodation 3) Onward ticket. Just take it or leave it.🤷🏼

@Chris ***********

and it seems that you are a sympathetic person. I used ministry of foreign affairs as a source in my cuts, and here’s the formal regulation regarding formal requirements for the different visa types. You can study then further yourself because you obviously don’t have any other knowledge than your own personal experience:

At least good to see several people understand that tequila is not just tequila. Don Julio has given me lots of fun in Mexico and never a hangover.

@Chris ***********

And some of the airlines I know would deny you also state this on their own website.

Ok, I’ll do it a bit short. Your personal experience doesn’t help all the people over time who are denied check in and even de-boarded on a three legged flight because formal requirements aren’t fulfilled. Why? Because the airline can be fined and responsible for your return.

For entering on visa exemption you’ll formally need to prove an onward ticket within 30 days even if you’re entitled to do an extension. Why? Ask MFA.

Regarding online check in I guess you’re ticked anyway is visible in the airlines check in system.

People entering Thailand as tourists on visa exemption or tourist visa formally need to show proof of funds, accommodation and an onward ticket. Long term stay on Non Immigration visa doesn’t require an onward ticket.
