that's not true l am sorry they cannot demand an outbound ticket. There is a law that for certain countries you get a visa on arrival if you qualify then you are allowed to enter for that period. If you overstay there are penalties but it is your responsibility to leave at this time you don't need a out ward ticket you can buy that when you like and via any means you like. You just don't like to listen it's ok like l said if you read my whole post 20 years to many countries all one way l onward travel when and how l want. You think l am only one many travelers do that. You are talking Thailand because all the westerners border bouncing living here and not on permeant visa or overstating and returning that's why they may get requested for a return ticket

I travel for 20 years on one way please what has happened to you don't put on me. It's an airline trying to upsell you. If you go to a restaurant and they try to sell you dessert and you don't want it do they tell you to leave the restaurant. A outward ticket is not a law and immagration cannot enforce it as such. Check your law not what has maybe happened to you or what you have read on some post.

they say 15 days but it's not reality. There system is much better. Look at the countries fully online the process is much longer because you submit pay online. Most will ask for more docs then you wait longer. But Vientiane solves all that with an interview and bank check which is the common question back and forth online. Who cares if you go in better to talk face to face instead of email or online your just a number. Main point is efficiency

always travel on one way ticket never been asked for a outward ticket. If the airline sells a one way thats what it is. You are free to travel as you want. I don't listen to all this about you must have a outward ticket. You can leave as you want bus,train,boat,plane ,walk, motorcycle.why would you go to Udon Thani that's just creating problems cost and time for yourself nonsense

payment is stated that it must be made in Vientiane. But other embassies have their own way but takes much longer. Vientiane is much more stream line. If you want the DTV you do as required by the embassy l preferred Vientiane because it was quick. If you want to travel do it after you get your visa.

that varies as far as l have seen so far. The immagration office l went to just said complete extension paper and pay 1900 bht hope that is consistent. They said it's a new visa so they don't know just complete the form copy and of passport done ✅

You don't need a work permit or be retired to get a motorbike licence. But you do need correct documents. First search what is required. You actually apply for an appointment to do the licence online DLT website. It's not up to an individual to allow you a licence anyone can apply. But get the appointment and get you documents in order. I can't remember off hand what you need but it's not difficult.
