@Ed ******

they are supposed to file one, get a screen shot. If this doesn’t happen ask them for a letter stating you are staying there, including your full name, passport number, date of birth, home country (same as passport country)

Hotel address / contact details

Either buy a fully refundable ticket, can be to Vietnam or anywhere just as long as it’s fully refundable and cancel it after you leave on your flight

Or use a ticket service like onward ticket

They sell flights for about $14

It last about 24 or 48 hours from time of booking

Used to show a flight out of Thailand

Or take your chance when boarding

I have flown at least 30 times in the last 13 years and have been asked every time I didn’t have a return ticket, as I was living in Thailand I was able to get around it.

Last year was able to baffle them when asked, and they accepted my answer 🤣🤣

However I was prepared to go online and buy a ticket if needed

Ppl will say it’s fine or you will not be asked, however be prepared, I’ve seen ppl post they either missed their flight (not allowed to board, or had to purchase an expensive ticket

most recently immigration also asked for a copy of the hotel owners house book

He had already supplied this to me with a copy of his ID card

I had never been asked for a copy of this before, however things change

I’ve done it before in Pattaya

Khon Kaen

I took a friend in Pattaya on a tourist visa

Recently Udonthani

3 separate occasions for myself

Once for a friend

My girlfriend from Laos in a visa exempt 30 days in April this year

Try this as it has always worked for me & ppl I’ve taken to get one

Certificate of residence, ask the hotel where you are staying to do a letter for you, the letter needs your full name, date of birth, passport number, country of Origin/ passport, stating you are residing at the hotel & hotel address and contact number, take this letter to immigration and tell them you want to get a driver’s licence or bank account, They will supply you a letter in Thai writing & on that letter it will state it is for a Thai licence or bank account depending on what you tell them it’s for & will expire 30 days after date of issue, immigration office”s operate differently in different areas and depending on who serves you, if it doesn’t work in Bangkok, try another part of Thailand.
