Nowadays most airlines will age to see a return ticket you may be lucky and they might not ask you

But if you have a problem on arrival immigration in Thailand regards the return ticket the Airline will be held responsible

Most airlines nowadays won’t take the risk.

Thai Immigration are looking at changing the 60 entry free back to 30 days very soon I’ve heard

Good luck 🤞

Cheers 🍻

It all depends on your own circumstances everyone different

In my case I like to travel a lot in and out of the country multiple times a years so it’s very important for me to have multiple entry paid when I get my 12 month

Extension to Stay Visa otherwise know as (Retirement Visa)

Makes my life much easier the less I have to deal with the bureaucracy the better for my stress levels.

But some people are on a strict budget so maybe buying one at a time would suit them.

You can buy a

re- entry visa at the Airport before you leave of course but you must remember otherwise you will be in trouble on your return.

Some people will tell you different but that’s Facebook everyone has a story HaHa 😛

Only my experience

Don’t shoot the messenger

No commission been paid HaHa 😜

But a cold beer be nice 😊

I arrived in Thailand again in September 2025 with a one way ticket from Europe.

I had a Non Immigrant Type ( 0 ) process in the London Thai Embassy web site online.

After satisfying my financial details and other information I received my 90 day ( E- Visa )

Which I show at the Airline check in desk on boarding the plane.

When arriving in Bangkok Airport Immigration desk I just show my passport & ( E- Visa ) on my phone in emails. No problems

Once you get here to Thailand if you don’t have a Thai Bank Account already you need to get a lease on a property or if you own your own the house book and passport & E-Visa

Take to immigration office and tell them you want residency permit to open a Thai Bank Account. Go to the Bank with all this paperwork and hopefully open a Thai bank account.

I would suggest open two accounts. One to deposit the 800k Bth for your extension of stay ( retirement visa )

Requirement

The other as you daily current account.

After minimum of 45 days go back to your Thai Bank and get a letter from your bank for the 800k and also photos copies of the current account transactions

On the same day take this paperwork along with two passport photos and passport photo copies. Photo copies of ( E-Visa ) letter of residence or house book to the Thai Immigration office and fill out the forms supplied.

The staff at the Hua Hin Immigration office are very helpful and speak English very good. If you need any more photo copies or passport photos there is an office behind in the car park that can assist you for low cost.

I would suggest getting a multi entry visa save you a lot of trouble if you need to leave the country and return in the next 12 months. Total Cost around 5,500 Bth

Lodge your application with passport etc

No commission been paid HaHa 😛

Only here to help this was my experience and opinion

Good Luck
