Indeed. We (myself and Thai partner) did many trips to Japan and the return/onward ticket was checked at boarding pass desk and at the airline gate again. Note: trivia for others... Japan immigration count day 1 as the day after you arrive. Thai can enter visa exempt 15 day stamp

Not sure I follow your question. There is two options. Single entry visa that provides for 30 day stay. Multi Entry is valid for 90 days. No need to provide flight dates. Obviously you use flight to Vietnam as your "grant visa valid from" When you then try to enter the "To" date it will only allow 30 day span. Prompts you to correct field if you type in more than 30 days.. It doesn't work like a METV (for Thailand) Note for others : only use the link provided in first reply by @ozfarang for eVisa application. Always check back through application. I In particular the "Grant Visa from" Also the "To" dates

Good result. Thanks for the update. With your itinerary and a 90 day stamp that you will receive you are good to go and no dealings with immigration office in Thailand. Good choice.

Poor advice. OP, make sure that you have hard copy print out of your eVisa. The airline at departure will check the details against your passport. With a Visa or folk with reentry permit an onward flight is NOT required.

Simple question. OP has his answer. Thread closed.

You posted similar a day back. I will continue to advise that for airline at departure a bus/train ticket is not advisable. I have had discussion with airline staff regarding this mainly at Saigon with AirAsia and Melbourne with Jetstar. More than once. A FLIGHT ticket would be the only acceptable option.

OP, are you flying visa exempt (no visa for Thailand) You can obtain "rent a ticket" from companies such as one mentioned above. The airline at departure may require an onward flight within the visa exempt stamp (currently 60 days) Screenshot of unpaid flight is useless as is the credit card details.

Two bickering posts removed and baiting post.

The interesting thing is that the OP stated the following...... "Now, I have been in contact with my local immigration. They have been told the facts of my particular case. I have been told that i may have to bring my wife to immigration with me on the day........I have the 400,000 Baht in my account, I have all the required paperwork.....he is legally my son...." Interesting that immigration did not mention divorce and joint custody.

That was always required for applying at consulates (eg Saigon) so guessing will be required for eVisa you outlined. Interesting (to me) that if you apply for eVisa for entry to Vietnam, a proof of flight is not required..

OP, with a non O visa you do not need to have an onward flight.

Yes. If you have a visa to enter Thailand the airline at departure will not ask to see return/onward flight. That discussion is for those flying visa exempt. What type of eVisa are you applying for? Currently visa exempt entry provides 60 day stamp. SETV is not good alternative

Is that a serious concern? True that savings account provides very little interest vs FD account however the funds (400k) only need to be in bank account for 2 months plus under consideration period. Can then be used. Use of FD is more a consideration for extensions based on retirement where some folk park 800k ongoing.

Yes. The thread is about obtaining an eVisa. That's different to simple border bounce to obtain visa exempt entry to obtain 60 day stamp. Plenty of companies operating from Pattaya. Here is one link. Good idea to use company. https://aseannow.com/topic/1312731-border-run-pattaya-to-cambodia/

4 months from last entry to Thailand he will not have an issue.

That's because it does occur. Along with your experience of explaining intention of obtaining extension.. Along with asking for supervisor and in the end being asked to sign a waiver. Along with not even being asked for onward flight by airline at departure.

That is nonsense. Currently there is no stated limit on number of entries visa exempt via land or air. It's all about continuous stay in Thailand with very brief bouncers to obtain a new stamp. You have been out of Thailand for 4 months. Zero issues.

Incorrect. Bus train etc won't cut it for airline at departure.

Most likely the VOA you are referring to are "Visa Exempt Entries" What is you passport country. Most recent visit 4 months ago you will have Zero issues. Have a return or onward flight within 60 days for airline at departure.
