Does immigration want to see return flights upon entry?

@Jo *********

I would like to piggyback off this if I may. We qualify for wealthy global citizen, except for the investment part - we will purchase a condo that will cover the $500k requirement, but want to first get to see all the areas and condo options in person when we fly to Phuket in person at the end of July. My main question is around the best way to enter Thailand (we are US citizens, have 2 kids that we will enroll in school once we are there, we have flights to Thailand, no return as we plan to stay for at least 2 years). So do we enter on a tourist visa first, extend if necessary and then select our property after which we qualify, OR enter as tourists, apply for the guardian visas, followed by the LTR once property is purchased. Even with all of that, will immigration have an issue if we don’t have return flights?

Billy Brown I assume I have access to the money if we eventually decide to relocate elsewhere?
