Do I need a return or ongoing flight when I enter Thailand on a tourist visa?

Ralph *******

Technically your supposed to have an onward ticket but immigration rarely ask.

However, the airlines often want to see it, otherwise you can’t board.

What is the process for my Thai girlfriend to obtain a visa to visit England?

Ralph *******

You can do it yourself. The most important thing is to establish that she has a good reason to return to Thailand. This can be children, parents, a job; any commitment that would make her return. I can’t overstate this - probably the most common cause for the application to be rejected.
