sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too. You don’t want to spend the money on the appropriate visa, you want to get a cheaper visa and abuse it’s purpose.
i have no idea what passport you hold, but seems weird to say how often when people are checked since you have zero data and only yourself and anecdotes, as we all do.
I’ve never been asked about a return ticket and never had a flight back in under 4 months
you mean everyone in this post but you, i’m sure you are.
Dumb enough to give wrong info then double down on being as insufferable as you are dense, it’s completely valid and relevant that OP knows shes at risk for being jailed and deported.
no, it being a requirement and if it’s enforced can be two different things, especially with your follow reply about “being lucky” if you aren’t asked and being clueless about what passport you hold having a major impact on what requirements they decide to enforce.
One way is acceptable is a perfectly reasonable and expectable answer, if you get unlucky all you have to do is buy an onward ticket on the spot for about $10
My example of the 20k baht requirement is a perfect example of largely unenforced requirements
no one said it isn’t legal, and your passport absolutely matters, if you think they are going to treat an african passport the same as an american one that explains a lot
Youre also supposed to have 20k baht (or equivalent) of cash and yet it goes largely unchecked
Not checking your return ticket isn’t lucky, its normal
