Harley Mendenhall Most of SE Asia is easy to enter with rarely a question asked. Thai immigration will often ask questions (not always) but you're usually granted entry without incident unless your prior history isn't good.

@John ******

Exactly. I don't see them asking for physical proof though- border immigration agents aren't embassy workers. I think all that's needed is a verbal explanation of what you're doing. Immigration has asked me this too and my previous history is stellar. Never overstayed. Have not arrived on a visa exempt stamp since early 2014. Have not arrived on a tourist visa since late 2014.

I don't really see immigration demanding proof of work contracts and bank accounts at the border. A verbal confirmation of what you're doing should suffice.

@Nick ******

Explaining what you do should be fine. I doubt they need documentary proof at the border.

Yes, which is why one needs to be prepared to show their visa again. However, I have not had this happen to me. Also, most of my flights are direct. I rarely choose an airline involving a layover and if I do, I'll spend 24 hours there as I hate long flights.

@Muhammad *****

The embassy asked for it? That is strange. Still, the airline shouldn't. On a tourist visa, yes, I can see that. All other visa types should not require one.

@Christopher **********

No, only for visa exempt entry of course (maybe also if you're holding a tourist visa) but all other visa types do not require an onward ticket.

@Muhammad *****

That's true but any visa that isn't a TR shouldn't require an onward ticket.

@Jason ********

They will if you have a visa. It's very simple. As a passenger, you are responsible for your visa business. You must be prepared to show your visa to airline staff upon check-in without them asking you. Look at the staff and if they miss your visa, show them.

@Christopher **********

You MUST make sure the airline sees your visa when you check-in. That stated, they'll probably ask for it if for some reason they can't find it.
