when Thai Immigration denies entry, they will ask you to remain inside the "Detention Center" until your flight back to where you came from is ready to board. That's what the female Immigration Colonel meant with "deport you" . . . I am not responsible for the bad English of these officials. I only QUOTED what she said

@Gosia ****

yeah . . . let's throw a coin. . . . .. heads means no questions asked, seal means you are f....d

@Dan ******

no, this is WRONG! The "departure" section of the TDAC is NOT a mandatory field. You can leave it empty ! . . .. . . . however what Immigration can ask from you to show, upon entry, this is a completely different matter

@Ebbie ******

you are wrong! What you claim to know is total BS! Those "onwardtickets" are only a reservation for a booking! . . . . . They are not even a real ticket booking. . . . . . These onwardtickets are blocking the ETIX system of the airlines, and can get refused. . . . .And if you really plan to enter visa-exempt, and Thai Immigration is really gonna ask you for your onward travel, you are going to have a big problem if you show them the "fake ticket", they won't accept it, they will deny entry, put you into detention and send you back to where you came from. I am NOT kidding, I am just showing you the "new" reality of Immigration checks of people on visa-exempt entries

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

on visa-exempt entries, you might be asked in the future, so better be prepared. Immigration is checking more thoroughly now

I would not tell Immigration that you have a 6-months rental contract, since you arrive on a touristic visa-exemption. A typical tourist does not rent a condo for 6 months. You'd better move into a hotel before you apply, and use the hotel's TM30

@Ebbie ******

I would be VERY VERY CAREFUL recommending "onward" fake tickets . . .there has been a meeting of Phuket Immigration officers, and the topic at one point was centered on the "fake tickets" . . Word for word: "Phuket Airport Immigration has also seen a surge in counterfeit or unpaid return tickets ‒ documents created to make it appear as though a traveller intends to leave Thailand.

"Many passengers create fake tickets by booking without paying or confirming their return flight," Col Rasarin said. "We have strict measures in place to detect this. If a ticket is found to be counterfeit, or if payment has not been made, the traveller will be deemed to have not declared their innocence from the start and will be immediately deported."

refundable flexi tickets are an EXPENSIVE option. Many cheap one-way budget airline tickets from Bangkok to Sieam Reap or Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur can be had for less money and will do the trick of showing onward travel within the 60 days one gets stamped in on a visa-exempt entry
