Is it a problem to travel to Thailand on a one-way ticket while applying for a retirement visa?

John *********

Even if you call the airline and they say it’s ok, the person at the airport check-in may or may not require an onward ticket. Then it’s too late to say “but when I called customer service they said it was okay “.

Well then simply disconnect from the antivirus for long enough to get the task completed. If you are not confident the site is safe, don’t use it.

What is the best car and motorcycle insurance in Chiang Mai for expats with a clean driving record?

John *********

Thailand has no ability to check your driving record in your home country. There is no concept of “clean international license”. The IDP is nothing more than a document that cannot be verified and not registered with any government agency.

So even the worst driver with an IDP is the same as you.
