    "Thai Visas, Residency and Work Permits" is where it is now .......see under your name.

    As I recall from your earlier thread they intend to travel overland out of Thailand within the 60 days of their initial Tourist visa entry.  I think I would include the travel booking in the visa application but add a note that they will be leaving and returning later by land for the return flight.  Failing that if they do buy a rental ticket or throwaway then of course include that.

    Fab thanks, think they’re going to book a flight from Hat Yai on Day 57 to Kuala Lumpa then come back in over land a couple of days later so will attach those flight details

    Length of visa depends entirely on nationality and country of origin. But more to the point, that's just way too far away to answer now. All could change in six months.  

    Thanks. They’re British living in England. Yeah I know a lot is changing, first time travellers they just want all the Ts crossed and I’ dotted.

    Not strictly, if they enter on a 60 day tourist visa, then the return flight/onward travel needs to be within that 60 days, of course we don't know if check in will notice the return is over 60days, depends on your risk appetite,

    Well this was my thought! I think it’s possible to book something pretty cheap at the airport if they’re stopped and asked by immigration

    I never used the evisa website to apply for a visa, but when I applied for tourist visas in the past (at embassies/consulates), an onward ticket was never asked for.

    There is also no requirement to have one when entering Thailand, this requirement only exists for visa exempt entry.

     

    Update:

    I just clicked through the evisa application, it doesn't ask for an onward ticket when applying for a SETV.

    I’ve just looked again and indeed you’re right, no proof required - amazing! So if they get stopped at immigration I’ll tell them to just book a cheap flight out to somewhere and get them to extend their stay for 30 days at an embassy in Thailand.

    IF you have a return ticket then they do not need to ask as the can see your return booking, i have always been asked when flying out on one airline and returning on another

    Oh amazing so their Apr 23 flight out of the country will be sufficient ????????

    Oh does it not? it did when we looked a couple of months ago! Thank you

    Just out of curiosity, must "onward travel" be by air? How about a reserved bus or train ticket? I see that Thailand is exploring bus service to Laos and Vietnam.

    I don’t think it does need to be by air but that was why I originally asked the question.

    Do they plan on applying for a tourist visa that allows a 60 day stay that can be extended for 30 days at immigration. Some Thai embassies and official consulates do not require a onward ticket for application.

    If doing a land border crossing for a 30 day visa exempt entry a ticket out would not be required. By air the airline might want to see a ticket out of the country within 30 days.

    They’re applying for a 60 day visa in England which states they need to show proof of leaving the country. Their return flight out of Thailand isn’t until April 23. They plan on crossing a land border and reentering after the 60 days to get another 30 then fly to Vietnam in Jan. they will re-enter Thailand again in March (over land)

    Suvarnabhumi immigration officers checked the return /onward flight ticket last week, June 2022

     

    Coming from london to bangkok with a 60 day tourist evisa issued in England.

     

    The return flight to london is in 2023 so I bought an airasia ticket phuket to singapore for 1400 baht travelling in 55 days time. This was uploaded and accepted for the evisa application

     

    Immigation officer in arrivals asked for the proof of a return ticket. I said the return journey was in 7 months but was flying with airasia, phuket to singapore in 55 days. They wanted to see the airasia ticket and recorded some information from the ticket into the system.

     

    Airasia tickets are cheap and easily recognised by anyone checking, so prefer to buy one instead of using a rentaticket service

     

    The airline didnt check for the onward flight but Thailand airport immigration did.

     

    Thanks this is what they’re doing (coming back Apr 23) did you not need proof of leaving when applying for your visa in England or was the flight home in 23 enough? 

  10. My son and his Girlfriend are travelling to Thailand in October and plan on applying for the single entry visa (60 days) but have to show proof of onward travel. They plan to pass overland into Malaysia and re-enter Thailand a few days later to get another 30 days, what is the best way to get proof of onward travel as they’re finding it difficult to find anything that can be booked now other than a flight (which is obviously more expensive). Am I right in thinking they can have 2 land border entries too? They plan on coming back in again around March/April for their flight home from Cambodia

    no wonder this is sooo confusing     our countries want one way and thailand wants another way

    It’s very difficult trying to plan a trip not having any idea of what restrictions may be in place at that time especially coming from a country that has none - we forget that the rest of the world isn’t like this.

    Hi thanks   my info says  6 months salted/ WITHOUT JOB INVITE LETTER FOR RETURN TO HOME  THIS IS FOR  LOSANGELES CONSULATE https://thaiconsulatela.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/tourist-visa-metv-multiple-entries

     

    maybe your info is for another country ??  

     

    He will be returning to the UK. I think the easiest (and cheapest) way is to obtain 60 day visa and then leave and re-enter over land border and get another 30 days

    Yes, it is easier to get SETV 60-day visa. I think there might be a small amount of show money needed less than 1k.

    Thailand is a headache all-round to get visas vs the past.

    Could get a triple entry 9-month visa from Hull in past with no supporting documents..half price of the METV 6-month visa.

    Yeah I got a triple entry visa (20 yrs ago mind) didn’t have to show anything like what they’re asking now and if I did pay a fee it was very minimal! He’ll have a £1000 for sure as they’re saving for their trip but they definitely haven’t had £5000 in the last 6 months! SETV 60!day visa it is I think then a trip to Vietnam and 30 days entry on the way back in

    OP should be aware that to even get METV

    he/they need money salted in bank for previous 6 months (£5000) and a job invite letter for return to home country ...

    or

    proof of business owner accounts submissions (or something like that on biz option).

     

    Well he definitely hasn’t had £5000 in his bank for the 6 months, he’s 21! And a job invite letter for when he returns home? Crazy! Think the METV sounds crazy, hopefully the 60 day visa is easier to obtain (without selling an organ) then he’ll have to just cross and return through a land border once he’s done elsewhere to get another 30 days
