just continue like that 👍

@Jay ****

i dont want to apply any visa. but thanks for your advice.. i just said that onwardticket is only a booking reservation and airlines or immigration officers can check that and that the document u sent isnt a valid ticket. might not be an issue for a visa application

@Nongnuch *******

yes thats what i said/wanted to say

@Mark **********

did u ever get a flighr fully refunded?

@Ian *********

of course they can. immigration and airlines have access for a world wide system to check bookinga. i already got denied with a reservation from onwardticket com and the lady showed me on the screeen where it said only reservation. also if u read on the ticket it only shows a reservation number. not a booking number

@Lesia *********

i wouldnt rely on any refundable offers. in most cases they wont refund u 100%. there is typically a service chsrge which is quite high. u could just buy a very cheap flight or try the onwars ticket and if they complain just buy a real ticket and update it. normally just for visa application they arent that strict. they are much more strict at the border controll when they give u the actual entry stamp. but all i say are just my personal assumptions..

these websites dont give u a flight confirmation.

it is a flight reservation. if they check your reservation number they can see that the payment is still pending, so they will know irs no booking.

for a visa application it is normally alright. but no quarante

@Cat ***

i assume have a return ticket to thailand already. so the airline wants to make sure u will be able to re-enter thailand and they wont have to pay for u. lao immigration doesnt require any prove of savings. only 40 usd/2000 thb. u are misunderstanding the problem. its not about entering lao. its about re-entering thailand. thats also what other people are trying to tell u here

@Cat ***

the requirement for thai immigration is 20k in cash. airlines sometimes check if u fulfil the requirements as it will be the airline who has to pay for your flight if thai immigration might refuse your entry on a visa exemption

@Dave *********

yes that's the case right now. especially at bkk and dmk immigration
