I’ve done the same before. Although the cancellation cost must be considered.

@John *********

Are you getting travel insurance? If you are then check the small print. Especially with regard to a return ticket.

On my last trip I didn’t have a return as I was planning to get a 30 day extension. However, I got an onward ticket just in case. Just as well I did because the airline wanted proof of my exit from Thailand. It costs about $24 here but it’s worth it for the flexibility it gave me. I like open ended trips but they do cause other difficulties, such as insurance.

@John *********

Immigration rarely check it but they have the right to and to refuse you entry.

Increasingly, though, is that airlines check it when you check in. Had my tickets checked on two occasions.

A round trip for 3 months isn’t valid because you only get 60 days visa exemption. You can take the chance, of course, and will probably get away with it.

@John *********

Yes, of course you can.

@John *********

ok. So he can stay 60 days then get a 30 day extension. He then has to leave if he’s not getting a visa.

What visa type are you both getting?

@John *****

If you cash out and convert to $, you can’t make a profit if you re-enter the 400k because you are buying baht at a higher price.

If they go ahead with their plan the yes. But sometimes these things take longer than anticipated.

Even so, I don’t think it will be too onerous.

I think with online check-in you could do it. You should get an online boarding pass.
