Stop freaking out and second guessing yourself. The embassy is not answering because how many enquires do you think they get like this. You are visa exempt just come and enjoy Thailand you are acting like you are some kind of criminal. You get 60 days exempt before that is up you are entitled to a 30 day extension that's 90 days just bring enough money 🤑🤑like this is explain every second post here

@Roger *******

it is not an immagration requirement. This debate has been ongoing for sometime. It is the airline that is supposedly putting this question to it's passengers. I had it happen to me once in 20 years. I had a one way ticket to bkk and simply said l haven't sorted my itinerary on when l leave and from where l am traveling around Thailand and have a visa it's my responsibility to leave prior to experation or pay a fine. They allowed me to board. I think it is a marketing ploy by the airline to get more money out of you. If you book a return and as what normally happens in Thailand you want to stay longer your ticket may be forfeited thereby the airline cashing in. By a one way ticket and challenge the airline. Ask to see the supervisor if they insist on a return ticket. It's the travelers right to choose a one way. Everyone just bows to them because they come in and out of Thailand it's not the airlines right to question that it is Thai immagration. That's my take on it and l would fight the airline on that matter. If they didn't let you board l would be taking that higher also with the ministry of aviation. We will see how long they continue this farse.

@Phil *****

so you do 1 only 4 hour cooking course and you get a 5 year DVT visa. Are you delusional no one would want a tourist visa or retirement visa if that was the requirement. So that's what you have done you have enrolled in 4 hour cooking course and have the 5 year DVT visa

Don't worry about the visa as previous it may change you can do the visa once you know what date you are coming. Better to start traveling in Thailand to find the place you like also get used to life in Thailand. Spend your time traveling

Thailand will not give you a five year visa to do a 4 hour cooking course are you retarded Fucc@#$#@$$

Ask to see the manager speak slowly and take your time sounds like she didn't have a clue

@Michael ******

not true It's the traveler not the airline. If a country gives you a visa you have until that time to leave. You can leave via any means and maybe earlier or later. Apply extension whatever.

@John ******

my point exactly he is not giving full details of what happened. Everyone complains about Thai process being over ownerous but this is why people stuffing it up for those doing the right thing. So many people trying to scan Thai system

You can report 14 days prior and 7 days after just walk in update your new address also

@Tore ********

as l mentioned the options are up to the traveller. But the booking sites are fine
